COP28 president urges flexibility on fossil fuel deal

STORY: With five days left before the conference's scheduled end on December 12, country ministers are joining the deliberations on Friday.Still unresolved is how the nearly 200 countries at COP28 will handle the thorny issue of fossil fuels, the main source of climate-warming emissions, with at least 80 countries demanding a COP28 agreement that calls for an eventual end to their use.Such a position would be unprecedented, after three decades of U.N. climate summits that have never addressed the future role of fossil fuels head on.
