What is COP28? The UN climate
summit, explained By Rachel Ramirez, CNN 6

UNFCCC
28th Conference of Parties
CNN — Tens of thousands of people are heading
to Dubai in early December for COP28, the annual international climate
summit convened by the United Nations. With
time quickly running out to prevent fossil fuel pollution from causing
irreversible harm, discussions between global leaders, negotiators, climate
advocates and industry representatives have shifted to how the world should
adapt to more deadly heatwaves, stronger storms and catastrophic sea level rise.
Despite the widespread impacts of the
climate crisis, the annual negotiations have been contentious. The road to
consensus on solutions has proven rocky, and has highlighted divisions between
rich countries — which emit a majority of the world’s planet-warming pollution
— and poor nations, which have contributed the least.
Here’s what to know about the world’s
most critical climate change conference.
What is COP28? UNFCCC 28th Conference of
Parties

Paris, on December 9, 2015. Ian Langsdon/AFP/Getty Images
A little over 30 years ago, more than
150 countries signed a UN treaty to limit the alarming rise of planet-warming
pollution in the atmosphere. While the science behind human-caused climate
change was still young, scientists knew even then it would be life-changing.
The first COP — the “Conference of the
Parties” to that agreement — took place in Berlin in 1995. Member states
have been convening on climate change almost every year since. In 2015, at
COP21, more than 190 countries approved the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees
Celsius, but preferably to 1.5 degrees.
Although the Paris Agreement was
a landmark moment and set the world on a path that scientists supported, it
didn’t get specific about how countries should achieve its goal. Since then,
COPs have sought to make the plans attached to the Paris Agreement more
ambitious and to be more specific about the changes society would need to make.
The controversy at COP28
The climate summit is hosted at a
different location each year. While there have been other host countries mired
in controversy, the backlash to this year’s host — the United Arab Emirates —
has been particularly sharp; not only is the UAE a major oil-producing nation,
it has also appointed a top fossil-fuel executive as its COP president.
Critics say it’s a conflict of interest
to have Sultan Al Jaber, the head of the UAE’s national oil company, taking
charge of the most important climate conference of the year. In facing that
criticism, the UAE has embarked on a major campaign to boost its green
credentials ahead of the summit, CNN has previously reported.
In May, more than 100 members of the US
Congress and the European Parliament called for Al Jaber to step down, claiming
that his role could undermine negotiations.
Some key players — including US climate envoy John Kerry — have praised
Al Jaber’s appointment. The UAE has rejected criticism that the country is
unfit to host the world’s largest climate summit, with the COP28 team
previously telling CNN that the UAE was the first in the Middle East to set
2030 and 2050 emissions reduction targets.
The big names attending COP28
Heads of states and governments deliver
speeches in the first days of the summit. More than 160 member nations,
including the UK, France, Germany and Japan, have confirmed their attendance.
Perhaps the highest-profile attendees
will be King Charles III, who will deliver an address at the summit’s opening ceremony.
Pope Francis was planning to be the
first pontiff to attend COP, but the trip was cancelled Tuesday following his
doctor’s advice.
The Pope’s state of “influenza and
inflammation of the respiratory tract has improved,” but the “doctors have
asked the Pope not to make the trip planned for the next few days,” Vatican
spokesperson Matteo Bruni said in a statement. “Pope Francis accepted the
doctors’ request with great regret and the trip was therefore cancelled.”
Absent from the speakers list are US President Joe Biden and China’s Xi Jinping — the leaders of the world’s
top polluting countries. In mid-November, Biden and Xi pledged to significantly
ramp up renewable energy in lieu of planet-cooking fossil fuels, and agreed
to resume a working group on climate cooperation.
In lieu of Biden, US Vice
President Kamala Harris will attend the summit – a trip that was announced following
pushback that Biden was missing global meeting on an issue important to young
voters.
Leaders from major oil-producing
countries, such as Saudi Arabia, Syria, Russia and Iran, are among those
attending.
There are concerns that the Israel-Hamas
war could overshadow action on climate this year, particularly in the Middle
East. But representatives from both Israel and the Palestinian territories are
listed to speak in the first week.
The UAE has also invited many fossil
fuel executives to the climate talks, where they are expected to announce
new commitments to decarbonize. A list of Wall Street financial heavyweights
led by BlackRock CEO Larry Fink will also be present, after missing the summit
in Egypt last year.
COP28’s global stocktake
It’s been eight years since the Paris
Agreement, yet the world has made barely any progress on slashing climate
pollution, and the window is “rapidly narrowing” to do so, according to the
agreement’s first scorecard — the global stocktake — which was published in September. Scientists sound the alarm as the world briefly
smashes through 2-degree warming limit for the first time.
COP28 will be the first time that countries will be
going into the negotiation rooms with an analysis that shows how seriously
off-track they are on their climate targets.
“It tells us clearly that the world
is not on track to achieve our global climate goals,” Melanie Robinson, the
global climate program director for the World Resources Institute, told CNN.
“But it also offers a really interesting
concrete blueprint [and] mountain of evidence on how we can get the job done,
so it should be a wakeup call of what we need to do but with a roadmap to get
there.”
COP28’s biggest issues
Some of the biggest concerns that will
take center stage in Dubai are continuations from COP27 in Egypt: finalizing a
“loss and damage” fund and discussing how to ramp down planet-warming fossil
fuels.
A major debate among the parties has
been whether to “phase out” or “phase down” fossil fuels. At COP27, a number of
nations, including China and Saudi Arabia, blocked a key proposal to phase out all fossil fuels — including oil and
gas — and not just coal.
“The most important thing is the outcome
at this COP sends a really strong signal that the world must rapidly shift away
from fossil fuels,” Robinson said. “I would note that it’s important for the
language to refer to all fossil fuels.” A major debate that will again take center
stage at COP will be whether to “phase out” or “phase down” all fossil fuels —
including oil and gas — and not just coal.
Maya Siddiqui/Bloomberg/Getty Images, Another
focus this year will be on the so-called loss and damage fund, which countries included in last year’s agreement. The
fund would help shuttle money from the richest countries, which are responsible
for the vast majority of the climate crisis, to poor countries, where the
impacts have hit hardest. The goal is to
get the fund up and running by 2024. With time running out, a special committee met in Abu Dhabi in early November
and recommended the World Bank host the fund and serve as its trustee temporarily for four years. The loss and damage fund is a delicate and
nuanced issue, said Nate Warszawski, a research associate with WRI’s
International Climate Action team. “I do think this could be one of the key
issues that makes or breaks the COP,” he told CNN.

Counseling leader Russ Vernon-Jones and shared by local Omni member Dorothy
Marcy
“COP 28 Closes with a
few steps forward”
Two big steps were taken at the just-concluded
COP: Language was created that gave some of the most impacted nations (island
and coastal nations) ability to make claims to a "loss and damage
fund" for climate, but they didn't fund it. And for the first time
language acknowledging the need to get off of fossil fuels was included.
Without a clear path forward the claims seem shaky. But some climate activists
are encouraged that these are potential tools to make demands on an industry
with inordinate power over our lives and economies.

for a third of global greenhouse gas emissions, yet fails to feed the world,
with a tenth of humanity experiencing hunger. For years, this issue has been

COP 28, the United Nations' annual climate
summit is happening right now in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
These climate conferences have been taking
place since 1995 and as Axios reported, each and every year, save for temporary
recessions, global emissions keep going up and up and up and up:
Data: Global Carbon Project; Chart: Simran Parwani/Axios
If there was a solution that was working,
would the 70,000 attendees want to know about it?
Look no further than Japan, a
country whose total emissions have been dropping by millions of tons every year
since 2013.
In fact, Japan should be featured at COP 28,
as a country that actually reduces greenhouse gas emissions instead of just
talking about it. All 70,000 attendees should wake up, take note, and
return to their respective countries and implement the same strategy.
BUT WHAT EXACTLY IS JAPAN’S STRATEGY????
World Bank data shows the typical Japanese citizen’s CO2 emissions have
averaged approximately 9 tons per year since 2010. From a high of 9.91 tons in
2013 to a low of 8.54 tons in 2019. The reductions per capita have not
decreased substantially.
In the same seven years in Japan from 2013
through 2019, CO2 emissions dropped 21,000,000 tons (That’s 21 MILLION
TONS) annually!
What has led to this dramatic decline in
emissions?
Japan’s solution has largely come about
unintentionally and unexpectedly through its declining population. The country’s population peaked in 2009 and has been declining ever since. Last year alone saw a
decline of approximately 700,000 people.
Japan saw a net decline of 2,435,000 people
between 2013 and 2019 which accounts for the overwhelming reduction of
the 21 million tons in annual emissions.
The incredible aspect is these declining
emissions will continue in correlation with an expected further decline in its
population. Japan in the meantime continues to experience a strong economy with
an incredibly low 2.64% unemployment figure, and its Nikkei stock index is up
over 25% year to date. It is a win-win for Japan, greater prosperity for its
people, and less pollution and emissions for the environment.
If COP attendees effectively brought this same fact-based evidence home to their countries, envision how quickly we could begin to slow down and then reduce CO2 emissions. We wouldn’t need a COP 29, 30 or 31. “If Japan can do it, so can the world!”

CNN —
Global delegates at the COP28 climate summit in Dubai formally adopted a damage fund that was decades in the making, and several countries pledged
millions of dollars to it to help nations hit hardest by the climate crisis –
an early success on the first day of talks that allows more time to discuss the
thorny issues around slashing fossil fuels.
But the United States is receiving
criticism for contributing an “embarrassing” amount of money to the fund, less
than a fifth of the United Arab Emirates’ contribution and 14 times less than
the European Union’s.
Demand for a fund to channel money to
developing countries to help them cope with the impacts of climate change has
for years stymied progress at the annual negotiations. The details of the fund
were agreed to earlier this month at a pre-COP meeting and were formalized
Thursday, in the hope it would allow for progress in other areas at the summit.
This story is part of
CNN’s coverage of climate change ahead of the UN’s annual climate summit — how
the crisis affects our lives, the global politics and the potential solutions.
Ad Feedback
“We have delivered history today — the
first time a decision has been adopted on day 1 of any COP,” COP28 President
Sultan Al Jaber said. The motion passed without objection and was met with a
standing ovation.
What is COP28?
The UN climate summit, explained
While all parties agreed to the fund,
there was previously opposition to allowing the World Bank to host it. Several
countries objected to the bank managing the money on the basis that it has
strong US connections. All parties ultimately agreed on the condition that the
World Bank’s oversight of the fund would be temporary.
Some countries pledged money to the fund
right after it was agreed. The COP28 host country, the United Arab Emirates,
pledged $100 million, as did Germany. The UK announced £60million, part of
which will be used for “other arrangements,” according to the release, while
the US committed $17.5 million to the fund and Japan contributed $10 million.
While climate experts and advocacy
groups largely praised the establishment of the fund, they also say it was just
a first step on a long road to ensuring the countries hit hardest by the
climate crisis are fully supported.
Money from rich nations must now begin
flowing into the fund, they said.
“The loss and damage fund will be a
lifeline to people in their darkest hour, enabling families to rebuild their
homes after disaster strikes, support farmers when their crops are wiped out
and relocate those that become permanently displaced by rising seas,” said Ani
Dasgupta, president & CEO of World Resources Institute. “This outcome was
hard-fought but is a clear step forward.”
US contribution criticized as ‘embarrassing’
The US in particular was criticized for
its $17.5-million contribution, which some experts and advocacy groups said was
“embarrassing” and “striking” for how small it is compared to the pledges of
other nations.
Dasgupta called the contribution from
the US, and Japan’s of $10 million, “disappointing.”
Mohamed Adow, director of Power Shift
Africa, panned the US contribution as far too small. “The initial funding
pledges are clearly inadequate and will be a drop in the ocean compared to the
scale of the need they are to address,” Adow said in a statement. “In
particular, the amount announced by the US is embarrassing for President Biden
and (US climate envoy) John Kerry. It just shows how this must be just the
start.”
Tom Evans, a policy adviser at
international climate think tank E3G, noted the US delegation to COP is under
considerable political pressure from dynamics at home, with a
Republican-controlled US House of Representatives.
Still, he said, the size of the US
contribution was “striking” compared to the far larger amounts from the UAE and
Germany.
US officials were clear they were
donating to a “climate impacts fund,” Evans said, adding, “they’re seeking to
avoid the funds being called loss and damage because of fears about how that
would be received by Republicans in Congress.”
Evans noted the US contribution is
subject to approval from Congress, adding “we have seen in the past how
difficult that is for the United States.”
CNN has reached out to the US delegation
at COP28 for a response.
Years in the making
The development comes after years of
wrangling over who should pay for climate impacts. Developing countries and
small island states have been pressing for these types of funds since the early
1990s.
Several wealthy nations, including the
United States, have been reluctant to tie countries’ obligations to their
historic emissions. It’s also been contentious because wealthy nations have
expressed concern that paying for such a fund could be seen as admission of
climate liability.
With the damage fund decision out of the
way, focus will now be on the Global Stocktake, where countries will need to
agree on language to formally note what the world has achieved so far in
responding to the climate crisis.
But the most controversial issue is the
language that will define the future of fossil fuel use.
Since last year’s summit in Egypt, more
than 80 countries have voiced support for language around phasing out fossil
fuels, though many wish to continue using them as long as the climate pollution is captured before it enters the atmosphere. Several analysts
have told CNN the UAE is pushing for allowances on carbon capture in the final
text.
The UAE has been fiercely criticized for
appointing Al Jaber — who also runs the nation’s mammoth oil and gas
company, ADNOC — to preside over the meetings. More than 100 members of US
Congress and the European Parliament voiced opposition to his appointment in
May, while many NGOs have questioned whether he, and the UAE more broadly, can
run a transparent conference free from its own energy interests.
Al Jaber pledged in his opening remarks
that he would ensure full transparency in the process.
