DUBAI: A new draft agreement unveiled early Wednesday in talks in Dubai toughens language by calling for “transitioning away” from fossil fuels, although it does not use the term “phase-out.”
The text, released for consideration after another full night of haggling, would also call for “accelerating action” during “this critical decade” — providing more urgency than an earlier proposal widely dismissed by green-minded countries.
The previous draft also drew fire for offering a list of options that “could” be taken to combat the dangerous warming of the planet.
