COP28: Final text addresses India’s coal use, methane concerns

India strikes balance at the UN climate summit (COP28) by addressing its developmental needs while aligning with global goals. The outcome omits binding provisions on methane emissions and coal power generation. The focus is on the 'phase-down' of unabated coal power without a rapid timeline. India emphasizes the importance of climate justice, and equity. The COP28 decisions include the Global Stocktake (GST), Global Goal on Adaptation, and the operationalization of the Loss and Damage Fund. Via Times of India https://ift.tt/V1m4dMB
