““And if we go back to the COP28 in Dubai, we all agreed to triple the amount of renewable electricity generation, increase as well as doubling the amount of energy efficiency improvement rates.””
SINGLE SOURCE
Multiple web search results mention the COP28 goals regarding tripling renewables and doubling efficiency improvements. While the evidence is strong, the phrasing 'we all agreed to' implies a final, universal agreement that is not explicitly confirmed by the provided snippets, making it slightly less certain than a direct quote or official declaration.
