MEPs demand dismissal of COP28 President Al Jaber

Shortly before the start of the UN interim climate conference (SBSTA) in the German city of Bonn, global climate diplomacy is gathering momentum: In an open letter, about 130 members of the EU Parliament and the US Congress call for limiting the power of fossil fuel interests at the upcoming COP28 in Dubai. They also demand that COP President-designate Sultan Al Jaber be removed from his post. Al Jaber is the UAE’s minister of industry and head of state-owned oil and gas company ADNOC.
