Could 'just transition partnerships' drive change in Latin America?

Originally created by the G7 forum of major economies – outside of UN climate negotiations – Just Energy Transition Partnerships were born as a broad financing package to accelerate the decarbonisation of the energy sector in countries highly dependent on fossil fuels, particularly coal. JETPs seek to provide support, tools and access to international funding in order to accelerate the energy transition. They also aim to increase the ambition of the partner countries' nationally determined contributions to the Paris Agreement on climate change for 2030, and reaffirm their commitments to be carbon neutral by 2050.

'17 hours' to save climate conference as UAE publishes new COP28 outcome

Activists, climate-vulnerable nations and climate diplomacy experts have decried a new draft of the COP28 Global Stocktake, published less than 24 hours before the conference is due to end. Delegates at COP28 waited all day as the United Arab Emirates COP presidency continually delayed publishing the latest draft of the text, which sets out how countries are planning to drive forward climate action to close the gap between current policy and what is required for a good chance of limiting global warming to 1.5 C.

As UN talks collapse, the world has no plan to adapt to climate change

The United Nations climate summit in Dubai promises no shortage of drama in its final days — in part because negotiations over whether or not to phase out global fossil fuel use appear to have collapsed. One major goal of this year's conference, known as COP28, is a "global stocktake" documenting the world's climate progress and next steps on climate action. But as of Monday, any reference to ending oil and gas use had disappeared from the draft text, leading to widespread anger among climate advocates.

COP28: OPEC leaks put pressure on Al Jaber to secure a fossil fuel phase-out deal

As COP28 enters its final days, discussions around the inclusion of calls to "phase out" fossil fuels in the conference's final text have reached fever pitch, as a leaked letter from OPEC urged member countries to reject a fossil fuel phase-out. Leaked documents show that OPEC has warned its member countries with the "utmost urgency" to "proactively reject" any text that "targets energy, ie fossil fuels, rather than emissions."
