    Last December, COP28 addressed fossil fuels for the first time in the history of these Conferences of the Parties (COPs) as the cause of our global climate change problem. It sets the expectation that countries demonstrate their transition away from fossil fuels via their climate plans.

    That’s why a coalition of seven NGOs – WWF, Greenpeace, Transport & Environment, CAN Europe, EEB, E3G, Global Citizen and Carbon Market Watch – are asking the Commission to now set clear fossil fuel phase out dates for Europe as part of its forthcoming Communication on the 2040 Target.
