FAQs about COP29 Baku 2024

8. What was the commotion at COP28 in 2024?

Opening remarks by Sultan al Jaber, President of COP28.

The President of COP28 stated: ” There is no science to support that abandoning fossil fuels is what will allow us to control climate change .”

To finish he added: ” Eliminating fossil fuels would be like going back to the caves .”

These statements by the president of COP28 caused a wave of criticism from various groups, although they were later qualified by the Sultan himself, but the damage had already been done and put in check nothing less than the goal of not exceeding an increase of 1.5°C by the end of the century, starting in 1750. But it also compromised the viability of the Paris Agreement and even the recommendations of the IPCC, the scientific group convened by the United Nations to monitor and evaluate all global science related to climate change .
