'Historic' COP28 deal to 'transition away' from fossil fuels adopted - BBC News I #COP28 #Climate #BBCNews

A new deal has been agreed at the UN climate summit in Dubai after days of negotiations.

For the first time, the deal calls on all countries to move away from using fossil fuels - but not to phase them out, something many governments wanted.

The text recognises the need for deep, rapid and sustained reductions if humanity is to limit temperature rises to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels.

The COP28 president said nations had "confronted realities and... set the world in the right direction".
