For the first time a new deal to reduce the use of fossil fuels has been agreed by all countries at the UN climate summit, COP28 in Dubai.
The deal calls on all nations of the world to move away from the use of oil, gas and coal - but stops short of suggesting they should be phased out completely, something that many governments wanted.
The burning of fossil fuels is thought to be one of the biggest contributors to climate change and creates green house gasses which prevent heat from escaping the Earth's atmosphere and warms the planet.
