On Wednesday, nearly 200 nations in Dubai approved a first-ever call for the world to transition away from fossil fuels, the top culprit of climate change behind a planetary crisis.

After 13 days of talks and another sleepless night in a country built on oil wealth, the leadership of the COP28 summit banged a gavel to signal the world had reached a consensus.

Dr Sultan Al Jaber, head of the United Arab Emirates national oil company is President of the just-ended COP28.

The declaration in DUBAI marked the first mention of all fossil fuels in 28 years of climate summits.
