Canada's environment minister hopes the next international climate summit will commit to phasing out unabated fossil fuels — oil and gas projects that don't rely on technology to capture their emissions.
The conference's president echoed Guilbeault's hopes Thursday.
"We must be laser-focused on building the energy system of the future, a system free of unabated fossil fuels, including coal," Jaber said in prepared remarks Thursday.This year's United Nations climate conference is being hosted by the United Arab Emirates, a major oil-producing country, and the man tapped to be COP28 president is both the nation's climate envoy and CEO of the state-owned oil company. Lauren Bird looks at how that could impact climate negotiations.
When the meeting of international ministers concluded, several countries issued their joint statement that seemingly departed from remarks made by Canada and the U.A.E. Ministers from France, Germany, Spain, Ireland and others said this needs to start with a "rapid decline of fossil fuel production and use within this decade."
