DUBAI (Reuters) – COP28 President Sultan al-Jaber hailed a climate deal approved by almost 200 countries on Wednesday as an “historic package” of measures which offered a “robust plan” to keep the target of 1.5C within reach.
“We have delivered a paradigm shift that has the potential to redefine our economies,” he said during the closing session of the COP28 summit, shortly after the deal was approved.
He added a note of caution for nations: “An agreement is only as good as its implementation. We are what we do, not what we say.”
