Is the world’s biggest climate summit actually just a trojan horse for fossil fuel companies to make more money? And does COP28 actually change anything? The COP President, selected through the regional group members of the host region, is Sultan al-Jaber, the CEO of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company. Meanwhile, $700M has been committed to the loss and damage fund in the first day of the conference. Equally important, this is the one stage where activists, Indigenous delegations and the media come face to face in one room with world leaders.

00:00 Is the world's biggest climate summit actually just a Trojan horse for fossil fuel companies
00:05 to make more money?
00:07 And does this conference actually change anything?
00:10 The person appointed as president of COP28 is Sultan Al-Jubeir, the CEO of Abu Dhabi's
00:16 national oil company.
00:18 So yes, we are experiencing almost comical levels of greenwashing by the UAE and sponsors
00:23 who pay to play here.
00:25 On the flip side of the coin, this is the one time of the year for world leaders to
00:29 negotiate climate finance.
00:31 This year, the loss and damage fund was agreed on during the first day of COP28.
00:35 $700 million so far has been committed to the loss and damage fund.
00:39 And it's quite a rarity where opposition groups like activists, indigenous delegations, and
00:44 the media come face to face in one room with world leaders.
00:47 We refuse to let the colonial powers and fossil fuel companies determine the outcome.
