They handled it really well. It’s kind of disjointed a little bit, but came out read...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:55:40 GMT

World leaders in Dubai for the United Nations’ COP28 climate conference are confronted with a conundrum: how to save a planet that is already burning.Preliminary data indicate that 2023 will earn the “dubious honor” of becoming the hottest year on record, according to Samantha Burgess, the director of the climate change service for the European Union. She added that “the sense of urgency for ambitious climate action has never been more critical.”Yet greenhouse gas emissions are on the rise, suggesting more climate records are likely to be shattered in the years ahead. The EU, together with a few major historical polluters like the United States and the United Kingdom, is bucking the global trend by having cut greenhouse gas emissions by around one-third since 1990. But the EU is still far from achieving its goal of becoming climate neutral by 2050.While acknowledging the progress made in tackling the climate crisis, the U.N. Environment Program’s ...

However, it’s unclear whether this will be enough to convince Central and Eastern Europeans — the most ardent supporters of pulling Ukraine into NATO — that they should drop any additional efforts in the run-up to the ...
