TL;DR

The draft of the core agreement for the COP28 climate summit has removed the call to phase out fossil fuels, angering climate advocates who warn that the summit could be on the verge of failure. The draft includes vague language on fossil fuels and lacks concrete timelines, leading to criticism from experts and observers. While over 100 countries initially supported language to phase out fossil fuels, oil-producing nations opposed the measure. Negotiators may need to return to debate if the current draft does not receive widespread support.
