The COP28 UAE Consensus makes the historic call for a transition away from all fossil fuels to enable the world to reach net zero by 2050. Given the scale of this challenge and the long lead times involved, we are losing ground in the race to remove greenhouse gas emissions from our energy system. The technologies exist and the costs are falling. So what’s holding us back?
The conference brought together senior figures from across the energy industry, investors, government, academia and NGOs.
