to a final text to wrap up COP28 proved to be a tough job for
the climate summit president Sultan al-Jaber. But, in the end,
he did it. Inevitably, the result sparked markedly different
reactions. Some hailed the summit as ‘historic’ because
everyone signed up to transitioning away from fossil fuels in
an attempt to reach global net zero emissions by 2050. Others
lambasted the final agreement for being weak because it failed
to commit countries to the tougher job of phasing out fossil
fuels altogether.</P>
