COP Climate Summit

The 28th UN climate summit leaves us, for the first time, with an agreement to transition away from fossil fuels. Yet the failure to agree a phase-out ignores the science and sends a signal to polluters that governments may tolerate fossil fuels forever

The choices and actions taken this decade will impact us all - and future generations to come.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a catch-all term for technologies that are meant to reduce emissions and storing them underground. But for fossil fuel companies it's a get-out-of-jail-free card for continued oil and gas production

Taking into account emissions from burning the oil and gas it produces, Al-Jaber’s company, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), produced 14 times more emissions last year than it reported

This year’s UN climate change conference in United Arab Emirates (UAE) will focus on assessing progress towards meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement

Three quarters of polled climate scientists that regularly appear in media have experienced harassment or abuse online

Global Witness sends letter to MEPs calling for support to the Ecodesign Directive which could help phase out fossil fuel boilers in the EU by 2029. Our briefing outlines the damaging health and climate impacts of hydrogen heating and why it needs to be stopped.

Despite some progress on loss and damage, world leaders at the UN climate summit fail (once again) to agree to phase out fossil fuels. And that's probably all you need to know about the UN climate negotiations.
