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

00:29 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.
