COP28

The 28th UN Climate Conference is taking place at the end of a year when we saw record temperatures, thousands of people dying in floods in Libya and Algeria and wildfires spreading across Syria, Tunisia, and Lebanon. We are in a race against the climate crisis clock and it’s accelerating fast, so world leaders need to act faster. and ways to get there.

COP28 has to be a moment of truth: A just and equitable phasing out of all fossil fuels including oil, gas and coal, must be the shared ambition. And while we acknowledge that it presents challenges, we also believe that it is entirely possible – fast, fair and forever – with dialogue and an open attitude to bring about the transition to renewable energy sources.

We also need a credible finance package that includes the launch of a new Loss and Damage Fund, and steps to start making polluters pay for the destruction and harm they have caused.

  Let us seize this unique moment in history, unite as a global community, and work towards a world that is powered by renewable energy, in the spirit of justice, equity and climate stewardship. 

Greenpeace demands for COP28: 

1. COP28 in Dubai is where countries must finally agree to set us free from fossil fuels. The moment world leaders decide to end the expansion of coal, oil and gas and accelerate renewable energy transition, with a fair and managed phase out of fossil fuels.
2. The Global Stocktake at COP28 must conclude with outcomes that kick-start transformative action across the board to limit temperatures to 1.5ºC and respond to increasing climate impacts.
3. Success will only be possible with a credible finance package that is commensurate with real-world needs, includes the launch of a new Loss and Damage Fund, and moves us closer to making polluters pay for the destruction and harm they have caused.
