00:00 Representatives from nearly 200 countries agree at the COP28 climate summit to begin
00:05 reducing global consumption of fossil fuels to avert the worst of climate change.
00:10 It also calls for a tripling of renewable energy capacity globally by 2030, speeding
00:15 up efforts to reduce coal use, and accelerating technologies such as carbon capture and storage.
00:21 Seen by some as the eventual end of the oil age, several countries cheered the deal for
00:25 accomplishing something elusive in decades of climate talks.
00:29 More than 100 countries had lobbied hard for strong language but came up against powerful
00:33 opposition from oil-producing countries.
00:36 Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore welcomes the deal but says the influence of petrostates
00:41 is still evident.
00:43 COP28 President Sultan Al Haber calls the deal historic but adds true success would
00:48 be in its implementation.
00:50 The lead negotiator for the Alliance of Small Island States, Anne Rasmussen, criticizes
00:54 the deal as unambitious.
