COP 28: Will there be an agreement on fossil fuels?

A new draft deal is expected to be published overnight, which negotiators will immediately scrutinise to see what's changed on fossil fuels.

The COP28 climate talks in Dubai were supposed to have ended on Tuesday morning. Almost 200 countries are working into the night to salvage a deal on climate change, after a promise to "phase out" fossil fuels was removed from the draft agreement. The summit followed a year of extreme weather events in which many climate records were broken. So, will COP28 make any difference this year?
