COP28 closed in Dubai with an agreement from more than 190 countries to transition away from fossil fuels. Yet it was the final two days that saw intense negotiations with some of the world's largest oil and gas producers.
CNA's Julie Yoo and Jack Board give their take on the final agreement, the deep divisions and the challenging path ahead to hit global climate targets.
CNA's climate correspondent Jack Board:
(Sultan al-Jaber) got fossil fuels in the text for the first time. Whether it has an impact on the industries going forward, we don't know yet.
CNA presenter Julie Yoo:
This COP broke some financial records -the Great Climate Fund, for instance, hit a new high with pledges worth US$12.8 billion. The big question is will the support keep flowing?
