At the end of this year, COP28 was held in Dubai from 30 November to 12 December 2023. Mouhamadou Tour\u00e9, a journalist at Studio Tamani<\/a> in Mali, covered the conference for all Fondation Hirondelle\u2019s studios and radio stations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The aim of COP28 was to find solutions to the consequences of climate change. The financing of adaptation to the consequences of climate change was to be discussed, with the countries of the southern hemisphere, particularly those of West and Central Africa, being the main ones concerned.<\/p>\n

A number of commitments were made, notably the declaration on agriculture, food and climate action<\/a>. However, no consensus has been reached on its implementation. There was also the declaration on health and climate and the adoption of the loss and damage<\/a> fund at the start of COP28.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finally, at the end of COP28, a formal agreement was reached to phase out fossil fuels<\/a>. Nevertheless, the countries of the southern hemisphere find this agreement non-binding and more symbolic<\/a>.<\/p>\n
