COP28 president Al Jaber says 'still a lot do' for UN climate deal

Description

The Emirati head of the COP28 climate talks says that there is still "a lot to do" for countries to finalise an agreement on fossil fuels after he proposed a draft deal. COP28 president Sultan Al Jaber had released a document that omits calls for a phase-out of fossil fuels and instead proposes "reducing" their consumption and production in order to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. "We have made progress but we still have a lot to do," Jaber tells a plenary session of the UN climate talks in Dubai. SOUNDBITE

  • EU Commissioner Hoekstra says COP28 draft deal 'clearly insufficient'

    The European Union's climate chief expresses disappointment over a proposed deal at the COP28 summit in Dubai that fell short of calling for a phase-out of fossil fuels. "There are a couple of good things in there, but overall it is clearly insufficient and not adequate to addressing the problem we are here to address," EU climate commissioner Wopke Hoekstra tells reporters. The United States, European Union and low-lying island nations have pressed for the final deal to include language on winding down the use of fossil fuels. SOUNDBITE
