'Contentious' COP28 draft moots end to fossil fuel use
UN climate conference (CO) negotiating team on Tuesday released an ambitious draft text of the global stocktake seeking countries to not only agree to trebling global renewable energy capacity to 11,000 GW by 2030 but also to brainstorm on phasing out fossil fuels. India's points on «sustainable lifestyle and sustainable pattern of consumption» — the bedrock of the country's concept of Mission LiFE (lifestyle for environment) — is also noted in the text as one of the options to address climate change issues. Though the 24-page draft text will see several rounds of updates incorporating countries' viewpoints in the next few days, the formulation on phasing out of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) and fossil fuel subsidies will certainly cause deep divides among participants, including India, China and the oil-rich nations, on different points until a landing zone arrives in the final text in terms of «an orderly and just phase-out» or «phase out of unabated use» or «phase-down». India has on several occasions categorically said that the country is committed to substantially increasing its clean energy capacity, but coal would continue to be the mainstay of its electricity needs and development goals. CO is expected to conclude the first ever GST, which is a mandated global report card of climate actions every five years.

WASHINGTON : US job openings fell to more than a 2-1/2-year low in October, the strongest sign yet that higher interest rates were dampening demand for workers, and boosting financial markets expectations the Federal Reserve's monetary policy tightening cycle was over. The Labor Department's Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, or JOLTS report, on Tuesday also showed that there were 1.34 vacancies for every unemployed person in October, the lowest since August 2021 and down from 1.47 in September.
