Keeping an Eye on the Geopolitical Ball | The way forward from COP28

This week on Keeping an Eye on the Geopolitical Ball, Jamie Shea, Senior Fellow at Friends of Europe, analyses what the 2023 United Nations Climate Conference in Dubai achieved and what should follow next. After two weeks of negotiations between almost 200 countries, a final COP text was adopted to begin reducing global fossil fuel consumption and thereby avert the worst consequences of climate change. With fossil fuels still representing 80% of energy production, Jamie outlines what concrete actions need to be taken to phase out oil, gas and coal use and incentivise investments in renewable energy.
