Cop28 must refocus on cutting emissions after lack of progress in Egypt, say analysts – The National

Climate change experts have said that Cop28 in the UAE and the build up to it will be crucial if progress is to be made in limiting global temperature rises.

While a milestone announcement on loss and damage compensation was agreed upon at Cop27 in Egypt, the event has been seen by some as disappointing in terms of efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions.

An absence of progress on previous commitments to phase down coal, and what have been described as loopholes that allow the exploitation of new gas resources, are among the issues to have disappointed climate advocates.
