A new draft final declaration of the World Climate Conference in Dubai does not include the clear phase-out of coal, oil and gas that many countries have called for. The text of the presidency of the Emirati conference was published on Wednesday morning. The 21-page document simply calls on states to move away from fossil fuels in their energy systems. More than a hundred states had previously called for a phase-out.
It also includes the target to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030 and double the pace of energy efficiency over this period. The G20 countries have already decided to do this.
On Monday evening, the presidency of the climate conference published a draft text that caused a storm of protest among many states, which criticized the text as too weak on climate protection. Germany and the EU called it unacceptable. The latest design now satisfies these critics to some extent. (sda/dpa)
