( BSS) - EU chief Ursula von der Leyen hailed on Wednesday the deal struck at the COP28 climate summit as the dawn of a new world with no need for coal or oil.
"Today's agreement marks the beginning of the post-fossil era," the president of the European Commission said, in a social media post.
"A crucial part of this historic deal is truly made in Europe. The whole
world endorsed our 2030 targets: to triple renewable energy and to double
energy efficiency, both by 2030."
