Climate Change Minister on draft COP28 agreement

The Climate Change Minister, says the draft text of the COP28 summit agreement does not go far enough.

The current text refers to reducing the consumption and production of fossil fuels in a just, orderly and equitable manner.

The Minister Simon Watts is attending the COP summit in Dubai.

He told Morning Report the wording in the draft text does not make a firm commitment to transition away from fossil fuels.
