DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Negotiators at a critical U.N.-led climate conference are in Dubai are preparing to wrap up their first week with moderate progress on some issues. Wednesday is a last day of work before a rest day, giving them time to make a bit more headway before their heads of delegations return for a final week that will shape the planet’s path forward in the face of crisis. The theme of Wednesday’s sessions is transport. It’s the second-leading sector for the carbon dioxide emissions warming the planet, and sessions include things like building out EV charging infrastructure and how to decarbonize urban freight transportation.
