transitioning "away from fossil fuels in energy systems in a just, orderly
and equitable manner, accelerating action in this critical decade, so as
to achieve net zero by 2050 in keeping with the science".</P>

<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">You're reading the Imagine
newsletter – a weekly synthesis of academic insight on solutions to
climate change, brought to you by The Conversation. I'm Jack Marley,
energy and environment editor. This week we're unpacking the world's first
major commitment to address the overwhelming source of the climate crisis:
fossil fuels.</P>

<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Lars J Nilsson (Lund
University), Alaa Al Khourdajie (Imperial College London) and Chris
Bataille (Columbia University) are a team of engineers and scientists who
research and model the transition from fossil fuels. </P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">They scrutinised the text
agreed today in Dubai for the sorts of loopholes that might permit fossil
fuel burning in excess of what the climate can sustain.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">In their view, the key
omission concerns "abatement". That is, the use of carbon capture and
storage technology to remove CO₂ emissions before they leave furnaces and
engines for the atmosphere. With no clear definition of this term in the
text, COP28 has produced "<A
style="COLOR: #202020; TEXT-DECORATION: underline; transition: opacity 0.1s ease-in"
href="https://theconversationuk.cmail20.com/t/r-l-tijuyudd-nljldnkrt-j/"><STRONG>a
broad and easily abused interpretation</STRONG></A>" of what "abated"
fossil fuel burning entails, they say.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">"Will capturing 30% or 60%
of CO₂ emissions from burning a quantity of coal, oil or gas be
sufficient? Or will fossil fuel use only be considered 'abated' if 90% or
more of these emissions are captured and stored permanently along with low
leakage of "fugitive" emissions of the potent greenhouse gas methane,
which can escape from oil and gas infrastructure?" they ask.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Our collective fate hangs
on this interpretation. In its 2022 mitigation report, the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that almost all
coal emissions and up to two-thirds of natural gas emissions will need to
be captured to limit warming to 1.5°C – the scientifically (and
internationally) agreed guardrail.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">"That's assuming that the
world will have substantial means of sucking carbon (at least several
billion tonnes a year) from the air in future decades. If these miracle
machines fail to materialise, our research indicates that carbon capture
would need to be <A

total on all fuels</A>," the trio add.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">By failing to clarify what
kind of fossil fuel use can continue, the negotiations may have even
hobbled another hard-won pledge, they say: the goal of tripling renewable
energy capacity by 2030.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">"This would cause wider
harm to the transition by allowing continued investment in fossil fuel
infrastructure – new coal plants, for instance, as long as some of the
carbon they emit is captured (abated) – thereby diverting resources from
more sustainable power sources."</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><STRONG>Loss and
damage</STRONG></P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Aside from the agreement
on fossil fuels, what else was confirmed at COP28?</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">On the first day of the
summit, delegates agreed to formally establish <A
style="COLOR: #202020; TEXT-DECORATION: underline; transition: opacity 0.1s ease-in"
href="https://theconversationuk.cmail20.com/t/r-l-tijuyudd-nljldnkrt-i/"><STRONG>a
loss and damage fund</STRONG></A>. This would (in principle) pay countries
that have emitted very little of the greenhouse gases changing Earth's
climate but are nonetheless bearing the brunt of mounting droughts, floods
and other disasters. </P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Countries that have
developed enormous wealth and state capacity through their combustion of
fossil fuels and colonial plunder like the UK, US and EU members have
fought attempts to label this finance as "compensation" for the ravages
their emissions have unleashed, says Lisa Vanhala, a lecturer in political
science at UCL.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Vanhala has followed the
progress of this fund for a decade. She wrote on its shortcomings in
November, noting that developing country delegates were generally unhappy
with its outline, especially the World Bank's role as interim
administrators. Vanhala points out that disaster-struck developing
countries are saddled with debt. A lender like the World Bank, accustomed
to offering loans instead of grants, could increase this burden.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Rich countries are only
"invited" to "take the lead" in paying into this fund says Shannon Gibbon,
an associate professor of international relations at USC Dornsife College
of Letters, Arts and Sciences. The results so far have been
underwhelming:</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">"Calculations of early
commitments total just over US$650 million, with Germany and the United
Arab Emirates pledging US$100 million and the UK committing US$75 million.
The US, one of the largest climate change contributors, pledged only
US$17.5 million in comparison. It’s <A

climate crisis to the poor rises each day. Not all of it can be neatly
settled on a balance sheet either says Sonja Ayeb-Karlsson, who researches

leaders of post-disaster mutual aid networks in Vanuatu.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">"As well as the
destruction of land, crops or livestock, loss and damage must come to
include child marriage, sexual violence, coercive and controlling

<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><STRONG>Money for
forests</STRONG></P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Brazil launched another
fund in the first week of COP28 that would pay countries with large
remaining forests to conserve and expand them. Intact old-growth forests
keep enormous quantities of carbon locked in bark and soil where it cannot
exacerbate climate change, unless disturbed by chainsaws or fire.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">This isn't the first
financial commitment to forests made at a global summit – there have been
several variants proposed at previous COP talks. At COP26 in Glasgow in
2021, more than 100 world leaders pledged to halt and reverse
deforestation by 2030. It's not going well: global forest loss in 2022 was

higher</A> than where it would need to be to keep us on track.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">The problem isn't just
about money says Dhanapal Govindarajulu, a forest ecologist at the
University of Manchester's Global Development Institute. He argues that <A
style="COLOR: #202020; TEXT-DECORATION: underline; transition: opacity 0.1s ease-in"
href="https://theconversationuk.cmail20.com/t/r-l-tijuyudd-nljldnkrt-u/"><STRONG>state-led
efforts to restore forests</STRONG></A> have restricted the rights of
communities that may have managed these ecosystems sustainably for
centuries.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Govindarajulu highlights
research by Nobel laureate Elinor Ostrom and others which shows that
people who directly depend on forests tend to protect and use their common
resources rationally – provided they are allowed to decide how they are
managed.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">"To restore Earth’s
forests and mitigate climate change, states should devolve management
rights to the communities in these land parcels and grant them secure
tenure," he says.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><STRONG>Cleaner cooling
for all?</STRONG></P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">In another first for a UN
climate summit, countries agreed to target emissions from a sector that is
sure to grow as Earth warms: "cooling". This refers to air-conditioning
and refrigeration for food and medicine. </P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">COP28 secured a pledge
from 63 countries, including major emitters US and Canada, to cut
emissions from cooling systems by 68% by 2050 (relative to 2020
levels).</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">"As the climate crisis
deepens, close to half of the world’s people have <A

href="https://theconversationuk.cmail20.com/t/r-l-tijuyudd-nljldnkrt-o/"><STRONG>little
defence against deadly heat</STRONG></A>," says Radhika Khosla, an
associate professor of geography at the University of Oxford who published
a report on the need for cooling in a heating world.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Khosla found that nearly 4
billion people, predominantly living in Africa and Asia, have no guarantee
that they will be able to cool themselves or essential items when
temperatures soar. Meanwhile, demand for energy to power air-conditioners
among those who can afford them is predicted to double by 2050.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Khosla recommends more
trees and updated building regulations to create shadier cities, higher
energy efficiency standards and a rapid end to the use of
hydrofluorocarbons (potent greenhouse gases) as refrigerants.</P>
<P
style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><STRONG>Promises...</STRONG></P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Agreements at COP summits
are non-binding. If governments stray from the promises their delegations
make at these talks, there is little that can be done to reverse their
decisions. </P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Consider another promise
made at COP28: Australia's announcement that it will cease financing coal,
oil and gas projects beyond its shores (domestic financing stays).</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">"It’s the latest in a
welcome series of signals that the international community is <A

turning off the tap</STRONG></A> for new fossil fuels," say Christian
Downie and Maxfield Peterson, governance experts at Australian National
University.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">The UAE consensus, which
declares the world is sincere about its obligation to transition away from
fossil fuels, could be the strongest of these signals yet. </P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">But the climate is deaf to
such signals. As another summit ends, questions around implementing these
commitments are kicked ahead another year closer to catastrophe.</P>
