The science is clear: to stabilize climate, we have to phase out fossil fuels.
Yet in the latest draft of the COP28 Global Stocktake, that phrase has been removed. Instead, it calls for "abatement" of coal and "reducing both consumption and production of fossil fuels" -- and that's not enough.
For that reason, I've joined over 2000 CEOs, investors, NGOs, health professionals, scientists, academics, youth, faith leaders to sign this letter, which calls for:
1. An orderly phase out of all fossil fuels in a just & equitable way
2. A price on carbon and tripling investments for renewable energy
3. A halt and reversal of deforestation, land degradation & other ecosystem loss by 2030; safeguarding the territories of indigenous peoples; ensuring resilient food systems; and a strong global goal on adaptation

Together, we stand in support behind all countries in delivering a 1.5°C aligned plan which will ensure the safety and health of our planet for future generations.
It’s time for world leaders to prove which side of history they are on--because #LaterisTooLate.
