UN climate body chief: COP28 draft is 'heavy on posturing'
Thursday, 7 December 2023 UN climate body chief Simon Stiell criticized the starting text at the CO negotiations, calling it a 'grab bag of wish lists.' He urged countries to prioritize their highest ambition outcomes to save lives and limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Stiell emphasized the need for COP to deliver a bullet train for climate action, using the available technologies and solutions.

India previously replaced 'phase out' with 'phase down' for unabated coal power at COP26 in Glasgow.
