Time for a transition away from fossil fuels. That was the final agreement at the end of the COP28 climate change gathering in Dubai. It came at the end of a desperate last minute round of negotiations after an initial draft agreement was criticized for not addressing the need to phase out oil and gas. So is it, as some say, a truly historic moment – the first time a COP has officially recognized the need to cut down the world's reliance on petrol? Or, as one delegate put it, a leaky canoe we have to put in the water because we have no other options?

In this edition of The Agenda, Juliet Mann reviews what the true impact of COP28 will be with Adair Turner, Chair of the Energy Transitions Commission, and John Denton, Secretary General, International Chambers of Commerce.
