The result was a “bitter disappointment,” said Zhe Yao, Greenpeace East Asia Global Policy Advisor.

“It is a bitter disappointment every time the division leads to a decision to be postponed or kicked on the road.”

In response, the COP28 climate summit issued an innovative call for the world to move away from fossil fuels.
The IPCC warned that the world is ongoing to cross the long -term heating threshold of the Paris Climate Agreement of 1.5 degrees Celsius above the pre -industrial levels in the early 2030s.
Recent studies have also suggested that the milestone could cross before the end of this decade.
