The COP28 climate talks went into overtime on Tuesday and countries engaged in shuttle-diplomacy to seek a new draft agreement and try to close a rift over ending the world's use of fossil fuels.
Licypriya Kangujam, 12 year old climate activist from Manipur dashed on to the stage at the UN Climate Conference 2023 in Dubai. She bolted onto the stage holding a sign above her head that read, "End fossil fuels. Save our planet and our future."
Some countries are resisting a pledge to phase-out fossil fuels in a COP28 climate deal, jeopardising attempts for UN climate talks to deliver a hard commitment for the first time in 30 years on ending the use of oil and gas.
The Biden administration on Saturday unveiled final rules aimed at cracking down on US oil and gas industry releases of methane, part of a global plan to rein in emissions that contribute to climate change.
