COP28 Day 8 Updates

Today the climate talks have resumed after the official rest day at the COP28. And here are the updates:

• Over 800 leaders, scientists, mayor's of European cities and CEOs have written a letter to the COP28 President calling for a deal that keeps 1.5°C within reach. One of the major thing outlined in the letter was phasing out of fossil fuels which was called as “taking World back in cave” by the COP28 president itself. The signatories include mayor of Paris, the architect of the Paris Climate Agreement Christiana Figueres and Sir Richard Branson.

• COP28 is finally the most restrictive , according to the civil groups on the ground. They are saying that they aren't allowed to protest, and if they are then it is limited. The protests have been moved to the invisible areas of the Expo city. Protesters calling for the ceasefire now weren't allowed to say this according to the campaigners on the ground.

• 100 Indigenous leaders and the activists have signed an open letter calling for negotiators to protect Indigenous rights as part of the clean energy transition.
