00:00 Leaders from around the world have converged at the UN Climate Conference, where discussions

00:07 are set to unfold on the unprecedented challenges posed by climate impacts in various nations.

00:14 In the opening address, Britain's King Charles issued a stark warning, highlighting the alarming

00:19 signs of climate impact that are being ignored and the potentially devastating consequences

00:24 that could follow.

00:25 Following King Charles, UN Secretary-General António Guterres, a staunch advocate for

00:31 climate action, addressed world leaders, setting the tone for discussions that will include

00:36 Kenya's President William Ruto and Saudi Arabia's Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud.

00:41 Reports revealed that away from the main stage, technical committees are hard at work assessing

00:46 progress towards meeting the global climate targets, specifically the ambitious goals

00:51 outlined in the Paris Agreement.

00:53 Scientists have repeatedly tried to draw attention to the critical importance of limiting global

00:57 warming to within 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial temperatures.

01:02 Experts have warned that exceeding this threshold could lead to catastrophic and irreversible

01:07 consequences worldwide.

01:09 The United Nations has just released the first draft of a potential agreement from COP28.

01:15 The draft outlines building blocks for a political outcome, addressing the contentious issue

01:20 of the role of fossil fuels in the future.

01:22 One option proposes commitments to phase down or phase out fossil fuel usage, abandon coal

01:27 energy and triple renewable energy capacity by 2030.

01:31 COP28 President Sultan Hamid Al-Jabir of the United Arab Emirates in a bold move urged

01:37 countries to collaborate with oil companies to find common ground, emphasizing that involving

01:42 fossil fuel companies in the talks is essential to solving the climate crisis.

01:47 The summit has already achieved a significant victory by adopting a new fund to assist impoverished

01:52 nations in coping with the financial burdens of climate disasters.

01:57 On the agenda for discussion in the contentious issue of phasing out fossil fuel subsidies,

02:01 which amounted to a staggering $7 trillion last year, as well as considerations for incorporating

02:07 carbon capture and removal technology.

02:09 While speaking at the COP28 climate summit in Dubai, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi

02:14 proposed hosting COP33 in India in 2028.

02:18 He said, "India is committed to a UN framework for the climate change process.

02:23 That is why from this stage I propose to host COP33 summit in India in 2028."

02:30 As world leaders grapple with the critical decisions about climate change, the eyes of

02:34 the world are on COP28, where the future of our planet hangs in the balance.
