Crisis at the climate summit attended by Erdogan… ‘Here they are closing an oil agreement’
The Global Summit on Climate Action, organized within the framework of the 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 28), attended by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and many leaders from around the world, began in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The Dubai summit, where the effects of urbanization and the climate crisis on the world were discussed, was marked by criticism of the host country, the United Arab Emirates.
Former Marshall Islands president and educator Hilda Heine, who was on the summit’s advisory board, resigned at the climate summit, saying the UAE had entered into oil and natural gas agreements with other countries.

Reacting to the UAE’s talks for energy deals at the climate summit hosted by the Marshall Islands, Heine said the UAE’s attitude overshadowed the credibility of the Climate Summit.
In his letter to the COP leadership, Heine described it as a great disappointment that the host country was “trying to close an oil deal” instead of presenting a plan to combat climate change and stressed that the summit’s task was to combat fossil fuels. . fuels.
Erdoğan, who was received at the summit by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and UAE President Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, met with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Prime Minister Scottish, Hamza Yusuf.
DEBATE ON FOSSIL FUELS
The fact that no final decision is binding at the summit, where participating countries reveal their plans to reduce the use of oil, natural gas and coal that trigger climate change, leads to discussions about the impact of such meetings.
The use of fossil fuels stands out as the most controversial issue that occasionally generates debate among participating countries.
On the other hand, the agreement signed at the COP27 climate summit held in Egypt last year for rich countries to contribute to a fund that will help developing countries adapt to climate change was described as a turning point.
