The COP-related news you cannot miss<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UN SECRETARY-GENERAL SAYS CALLS FOR COMPLETE FOSSIL FUEL PHASEOUT:<\/strong> Ant\u00f3nio Guterres told AFP<\/a> that COP28 should aim for a full phaseout of fossil fuel use to not just keep the 1.5\u00b0C goal alive, but “alive and well”. He warned of a “total disaster” if current trajectories persist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COUNTRIES SIGN DECLARATION TO INCLUDE FOOD AND LAND USE IN CLIMATE PLANS:<\/strong> In the first-ever COP resolution<\/a> tackling the link between food production and climate change, 134 leaders including US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, Brazil, China and the UK, have endorsed<\/a> a declaration to transform the food system and include food and land use in their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and national adaptation plans by 2025’s COP30 summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COP28 HOST UAE ANNOUNCES $30B CLIMATE FUND:<\/strong> UAE president Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed has announced<\/a> a $30B investment fund for global climate solutions, which aims to bridge the climate finance gap and stimulate $250B of investment by 2030. It came after the Financial Times reported<\/a> yesterday that the COP28 host was preparing to announce the fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UK LEADERS TAKE SEPARATE PRIVATE JETS TO COP28:<\/strong> British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is facing fresh criticism<\/a> after it emerged that he, Foreign Secretary David Cameron, and King Charles are taking separate private jets to Dubai. Sunak’s entourage has hit back and said it’s “not anti-flying”, citing its investment in Virgin Atlantic’s sustainable aviation fuel flight. The prime minister left after just 11 hours<\/a>, by the way, before King Charles called this COP a “critical turning point”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STRIPE LAUNCHES PLATFORM TO PRE-ORDER CARBON REMOVAL TONS:<\/strong> FIntech platform Stripe has launched<\/a> Climate Orders, which allows businesses to pre-order a specific number of carbon removal tons through its dashboard. Companies can also use the API to incorporate permanent carbon removal into their own climate offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLIMATE REPORTER AMONG VOX LAYOFFS:<\/strong> As part of its latest round of job cuts, Vox let go of climate reporter Rebecca Leber yesterday, on the first day of the UN climate conference – she announced the news on social media.
