It brings together delegates from nearly 200 countries in an attempt to craft an agreement that would keep alive the rapidly receding prospect of limiting global average temperature increases to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. COP 28 has been controversial for several reasons, notably because the COP President Sultan Al-Jaber is head of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, and the conference has been attended by about 2400 delegates from fossil fuel companies.2 A major obstacle is that some fossil fuel producing countries are emphasising the potential to continue ....
