I-United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) iphethe ngesivumelwano esibizwa ngokuthi I-UAE Consensus, esibeka i-ajenda yesimo sezulu esinentshisekelo yokugcina u-1.5°C ufinyeleleka. Lokhu kucela amaQembu ukuthi asuke kumafutha ezinto ezimbiwa phansi ukuze afinyelele ku-zero ekhishwayo ngo-2050.. Mhlawumbe, lokhu kuletha ekuqaleni kokuphela izinsalela inkathi yamafutha.
The ukuthathwa kwesitoko emhlabeni jikelele, ukuhlola kokuqala okuphelele okuphelele kwenqubekelaphambili ehlangene ekufezeni imigomo yesimo sezulu yeSivumelwano saseParis sika-2015 esethulwe yi-COP28 kwaqaphela ukuthi ukukhishwa kwesisi esingcolisa umoya emhlabeni wonke kumele kwehle ngo-43% ngo-2030, uma kuqhathaniswa namazinga ka-2019, ukuze kukhawulwe ukufudumala kwembulunga yonke ku-1.5°C. Kodwa ukuhlola kuthole ukuthi Amaqembu aphumile endleleni uma kufikwa ekuhlangabezaneni nezinhloso zawo zeSivumelwano saseParis.

Esikhathini esifushane, Amaqembu akhuthazwa ukuba eze phambili nezinjongo zokunciphisa ukungcola emnothweni wonke futhi ahambisane nomkhawulo ongu-1.5°C emzuliswaneni wawo olandelayo wezinhlelo zokusebenza zesimo sezulu ngo-2025.

- Ireferensi yokuguqula kude nakho konke izinsalela Amandla kaphethiloli ukuze umhlaba ukwazi ukufinyelela ku-zero ephumayo ngonyaka ka-2050.
- Isinyathelo esibalulekile esiya phambili kokulindelwe kumzuliswano olandelayo we-Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) ngokukhuthaza “izinhloso zokunciphisa ukungcola okungcolisa umhlaba wonke.”
- Ukwakha umfutho ngemuva kwe-ajenda yezinguquko zezakhiwo zezezimali, ukuqaphela indima yama-ejensi okulinganisa izikweletu okokuqala ngqa, futhi kufunwa ukwenyuswa kwezimali zemvume nezibonelelo.
- Ithagethi entsha, eqondile ekuvuseleleni okuphindwe kathathu kanye nokusebenza kahle kwamandla okuphindwe kabili ngo-2030.
- Ukubona isidingo sokukhuphula ngokuphawulekayo ezezimali zokuzivumelanisa nezimo ngale kokuphindwa kabili ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nezidingo eziphuthumayo nezithuthukayo.
Ngaphandle kweGlobal Stocktake, I-COP28 yethule imiphumela okuxoxiswana ngayo ukuze kusetshenziswe Ukulahleka Nokulimala, ukuthola izigidi ezingama-792 zamaRandi ezithembiso zangaphambi kwesikhathi, ukuhlinzeka ngohlaka lwe-Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA), kanye nokwenza indima yoMqhudelwane Wentsha Yesimo Sezulu ibe ngesikhungo ukuze kuhlanganiswe ukufakwa kwentsha kuma-COP azayo. Ngaphansi kwe-Ajenda Yezinyathelo eziphelele ku-COP28, imali engaphezu kwezigidigidi ezingama-$85 yoxhaso isiqoqwe futhi izithembiso nezimemezelo eziyi-11 seziqalisiwe futhi zathola ukwesekwa okuyingqophamlando.
