Pacific leader says fossil fuel transition deal not up for renegotiation
Original: Agreement to transition away from fossil fuels 'not open for renegotiation', Pacific leader tells pre-Cop https://www.th
A Pacific leader has told a pre-Cop climate meeting that the agreement to transition away from fossil fuels is 'not open for renegotiation'. The remarks come ahead of the next UN climate summit, where some countries are expected to push back on the phasing-out commitment. Pacific island states, highly vulnerable to rising seas, have been among the strongest defenders of the deal, warning that any weakening would threaten their survival.
Why now: Ahead of the upcoming Cop summit, debates over whether the fossil fuel transition agreement could be weakened are intensifying.
