The world needs an “urgent” transition away from fossil fuels as part of efforts to reduce planet-heating emissions and limit global warming, a coalition of countries including EU economies and countries vulnerable to climate change said on Friday. In a statement released at the end of climate talks in Brussels, the coalition of high ambitions said the end-of-year COP28 talks must pave the way for “an urgent and just transition to renewables, a more climate-resilient world and climate justice for all.” . “We must accelerate the global energy transition away from fossil fuels,” said the statement, signed by representatives of countries including Germany, France and the Marshall Islands, as well as the European Commission.
