As UN climate talks near crunch time, activists plan 'day of action' to press negotiators
Saturday, 9 December 2023 Protests intensify on Global Day of Action at UN-led talks in Dubai and worldwide, urging decisive action to stop climate change. Reports reveal OPEC's chief urging rejection of any agreement targeting fossil fuels. The language of the Global Stocktake, assessing progress since the 2015 Paris agreement, is at stake. New proposed language strengthens options for a rapid phase-out of fossil fuels. Opposition to phase-out comes from developing countries and oil-rich nations. Demonstrators also highlight the need for resources to adapt to a warming planet.
Hopes for finishing a critical climate summit on time were fading early Tuesday as countries were still far apart on key issues, including an agreement on what to do about the fossil fuels that are causing dangerous global warming.
