Advancements in Phasing Out Fossil Fuels

Within the energy discussions at COP28, the transition from fossil energy has garnered attention and witnessed substantial progress in negotiations.

Vietnam, along with the IPG partner group, including the European Union, the United States, Japan, and various other nations, endorsed this plan to address urgent needs and support equitable energy transition. Particularly noteworthy is the commitment to mobilize funds with attractive loan conditions, supporting private entities through investment channels.

Challenges and Efforts in Fossil Energy Transition

Participating countries in COP28 are deliberating on the timing and methods to cease the use of fossil fuels. Debates between developed and rapidly developing nations are intensifying, reflecting diverse perspectives on a fair and reasonable transition.

Developed countries, especially major greenhouse gas emitters, urge developing nations to swiftly transition to renewable energy. Conversely, developing nations propose timeframes and financial support for a sustainable transition.

COP28 President Sultan al-Jaber emphasizes the significance of an ambitious agreement on fossil energy transition. He asserts that achieving this agreement is crucial to realizing the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change, specifically limiting the global average temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
