The positions of the countries participating in the climate summit vary between supporters of the elimination of fossil fuels and those who do not want to mention it at all, as the latest version of the final draft text of the conference leaves all options on the table, which portends difficult negotiations.
The draft of what could be the final COP28 agreement published by the U.N. climate panel kicks off negotiations on the crucial issue at the summit: whether countries will agree to end the use of fossil fuels or strive to retain a role for fossil fuels. This second version of the text, which serves as a basis for negotiations, deals in 24 pages with the various options put forward by some two hundred countries negotiating at the conference currently taking place in Dubai. Among the possibilities mentioned in the text on oil, gas, and coal is the call for an orderly and equitable exit from fossil fuels.
