What is the UAE Cop28 plan of climate action?

Sultan Al Jaber, president of the Cop28 UN climate summit, to be held this November in United Arab Emirates, has laid out his long-awaited plan of action for the first time at a meeting of governments in Brussels.

The plan covers all the main aspects of climate action, based on the 2015 Paris agreement, now divided into what Al Jaber termed the four pillars, or four Fs: fast-tracking the transition to a low-CO2 world; fixing climate finance; focusing on people, lives and livelihoods; and full inclusivity.

The Cop president’s plan was broadly welcomed by experts and civil society on Thursday. Harjeet Singh of the Climate Action Network said: “[It] sends the right signals about the key elements required for a successful climate summit. [But] while the broad contours are positive, the devil will be in the details.”
