Kenyan climate campaigner Eric Njuguna and Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg have spoken out against the appointment of oil giant boss Sultan al-Jaber as president of the COP28 climate summit, set to take place in Dubai later this year. Al-Jaber has acknowledged that a reduction in the use of fossil fuels is “inevitable”, but major oil and gas exporters are keen to shift the focus further downstream, arguing the world can reduce carbon emissions without ditching the fossil fuels that generate them. Activists want world leaders to phase out fossil fuels at the UN climate negotiations in Dubai.
