A COP28 agitated by a subject: how to reduce fossil fuels? Until late Friday, December 1, an agreement was still being debated. This Saturday in Dubai (United Arab Emirates), 50 of the largest oil and gas companies committed to decarbonizing their operations by 2050. This is the objective that is on the rise. More than half of nations want to triple renewable energy. But for Emmanuel Macron, who pleaded for this measure, this transition cannot be done without more nuclear energy.
Climate advocates worried
The day was launched by the call from around twenty States to triple the capacities of nuclear energies in the world by 2050. A vision denounced by many climate defenders, who are concerned about the treatment of nuclear waste . After years of inaction, states and companies are beginning to adopt reduction plans. An energy agreement must be adopted by December 12.
