Concerns raised about the wording of the final agreement to transition away from fossil fuels, in line with climate goals and the Global Solar Council.

The inclusion in the final agreement on COP28 in Dubai to triple renewable energy was well received by the industry. This is the first time in the history of COP That the final text specifically notes the important role of solar and wind energy as an innovative and cost-competitive technology critical to achieving climate goals, as well as recognizing the need to transition away from fossil fuels, the Global Solar Council said. This is a big win for the renewable energy industry and a big win for climate action, he added. However, he warned that 'recognizing' and 'invoking' is not the same as 'acting'. The council stated: 'Deliverables still lack commitment and deadlines to urgently enable countries to rapidly phase out fossil fuels and replace them with renewable energy. 'And this should not happen with technologies that enable business as usual, such as gas and CCSU, which are surprisingly included in this text as low-carbon or transitional technologies.'

The recent COP28Also known as climate conference, promoted a historic agreement that recognizes the importance of renewable energy in combating climate change. This advance was well received by the industry, which sees the decision as an important milestone for the transition global energy. However, it is crucial to remember that 'recognition' on paper does not automatically translate into concrete action. A solid strategy is needed to meet the commitments made in the climate agreement, as well as clear deadlines and commitments for the phase-out of fossil fuels. There is still a lot of work to be done so that COP28 becomes a true catalyst for transformation towards a more sustainable future.

Solar and Wind Energy Featured at COP28

One of the highlights of COP28 will be the promotion of low carbon technologies, such as solar and wind energy. The Global Solar Council will be present to discuss advances in these sectors and possibilities for expansion around the world.

Challenges in the Transition to Renewable Energy

Despite growing interest in solar and wind energy, the transition to these renewable sources still faces significant obstacles. Reducing dependence on fossil fuels is essential to achieving global climate goals, and COP28 will be an opportunity to discuss strategies to overcome these challenges.

Importance of Collective Climate Action at Copa28

With the latest climate agreement in mind, COP28 will provide an opportunity to reassess global climate action and urge countries to make more ambitious commitments. The involvement of all stakeholders is essential to ensure climate goals are achieved.

Financing for Low Carbon Technologies at COP28

In addition to discussing goals and actions, COP28 will also address the issue of financing for low-carbon technologies. Effective implementation of these technologies requires significant investment, and the conference will be an opportunity to seek compromises in this area.
