Bill Gates said the world probably won’t meet the Paris Agreement’s goal of keeping temperature rise below 2°C. But he praised COP28 for making progress on tackling climate change despite geopolitical tensions.

“Climate progress is moving ahead even though we won’t meet our highest aspirations,” he said in a Bloomberg TV interview at the annual United Nations meeting in Dubai, citing the biggest-ever attendance and new food and health initiatives.
