On the fifth day of COP28 yesterday, the points of contention in the negotiations became increasingly clear: should the world phase out fossil fuels or just fossil emissions? The latter would lead to an important role for the controversial Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology. Bernhard Pötter has taken a closer look at the lines of conflict in Dubai and outlines possible compromises for the final text. Nico Beckert breaks down the background to the fossil fuel phase-out for you. We also report on a new report by Climate Action Tracker, which describes CCS as a „sham solution“ and strongly criticizes the current climate policy of states.
