00:00 The United Nations Climate Summit clinches an early victory Thursday, November 30, with
00:05 delegates adopting a new fund to help poor nations cope with costly climate disasters.
00:11 COP28 President Sultan Ahmed Al-Jaber says the decision sends a positive signal to the
00:16 world.
00:17 In establishing the fund on the first day, delegates opened the door for governments
00:21 to announce contributions.
00:23 Poorer nations had demanded for a loss and damage fund for years.

00:32 CO2-emitting coal, oil, and gas.
00:36 Jaber, also the CEO of the United Arab Emirates' national oil company ADNOC, aims to strike
00:42 a conciliatory tone following months of criticism over his appointment.
