The Emirati head of UN climate negotiations, Sultan Al Jaber, on Sunday, stepped up pressure on countries to quickly resolve differences over a deal on fossil fuels, warning that “failure is not an option”.
As the conference in Dubai officially ends on Tuesday, COP28 president Jaber urged the nearly 200 nations at the talks to “show flexibility, to act with urgency and to find the common ground”.
Jaber, while speaking with reporters, said that lack of progress or “watering down my ambition” was not an option.
