Government ministers representing nearly 200 countries around the world agreed at the COP28 conference in Dubai that concluded on Wednesday (December 13th) to gradually shift away from fossil fuels.
This came during the announcement by the President of the 28th Climate Conference held in Dubai, Sultan Al Jaber, to reach an agreement that paves the way for a complete transition from fossil fuels.
The importance of this agreement comes as it is the first of its kind and constitutes a new starting point for the future of using green energy as an alternative to fossil fuels, which includes all fossil energy sources such as coal, oil, and gas, and is the largest contributor to global climate change, accounting for more than 75 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, and about 90 percent of all carbon dioxide emissions.
