The projected achievement of COP28, Dubai

Need to transition away from fossil fuels in energy system,

In a just, orderly and equitable manner,

Neither has any binding nor the timeline to adhere to.

Tripling the global target of the capacity of renewable energy,

Doubling the rate of energy efficiency improvements by 2030

Are the other welcome highlights.

However, how close we are to limit

long-term global temperature rise to 1.50C,

That was agreed upon at COP21 Paris,

Remains crucial.

There are warnings that the time is running out.

Well intending postures are to be backed by the actual positions.
