(M.E.)
Il finale della COP28, dentro la grande arena dei compromessi, ha portato qualche mediazione interessante. Will Kennedy, da Dubai per Bloomberg Green, sottolinea come la COP28 possa essere ricordata come la più importante conferenza globale dagli Accordi di Parigi del 2015.
La transizione dai combustibili fossili (è la prima volta che petrolio e gas compaiono in un accordo COP) va nella direzione di chi chiedeva (necessarie) azioni forti. Così come sono stati rassicurati i produttori di petrolio e i Paesi in via di sviluppo: i Paesi sono liberi di seguire il proprio percorso verso lo zero netto. Altri elementi da sottolineare: l’appello a triplicare la diffusione delle energie rinnovabili, ad agire sulle emissioni di metano e a istituire un fondo per perdite e danni.
Conclude Kennedy: While the Dubai deal sends many positive signals, the future will be delivered by consumers, business and national governments and the world isn’t yet moving nearly fast enough

The final of COP28, within the great arena of compromises, brought about some interesting mediation. Will Kennedy, from Dubai for Bloomberg Green, highlights how COP28 may be remembered as the most important global conference since the 2015 Paris Agreement.
The transition away from fossil fuels (it is the first time that oil and gas appear in a COP agreement) goes in the direction of those who called for (necessary) strong actions. Just as oil producers and developing countries have been reassured: countries are free to follow their own path towards net zero. Other elements to underline: the appeal to triple the diffusion of renewable energy, to act on methane emissions and to establish a fund for losses and damages.
Kennedy concludes: While the Dubai deal sends many positive signals, the future will be delivered by consumers, business and national governments and the world isn’t yet moving nearly fast enough.
