DUBAI/TOKYO -- Global climate talks wrapped up Wednesday with a first-ever deal to transition away from fossil fuels, but parties stopped short of calling for an end to using oil, gas and other carbon-emitting energy sources.
The agreement was reached after the United Nations climate talks (COP28) in Dubai stretched into the early hours as negotiators from nearly 200 countries worked to reach a consensus on a deal aimed at reducing the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for climate change.
