Suuuuuure. Head to a country that is rich because of oil, make sure the mics pick up your pre written speech, then make sure you go on back home and do nothing about it.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


In the day's opening address, Britain's King Charles is expected to warn that repeated signs of climate impact are being ignored, with devastating consequences.

The COP28 conference will also hear from U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who has made climate change a frequent rallying point, before world leaders including Kenya's President William Ruto and Saudi Arabia's Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud take the podium.

The United Nations on Friday published its first draft for what could serve as a template for a final agreement from the COP28 summit, which ends Dec. 12.

The draft offers "building blocks" for a political outcome and includes several options for addressing one of the thorniest issues at the summit: deciding whether, and to what extent, fossil fuels should play a role in the future.

The summit also clinched an early victory by adopting a new fund to help poor nations cope with costly climate disasters.

Also on the table for discussion is whether to phase out fossil fuel subsidies, which totaled some $7 trillion last year, and whether to include provisions for carbon capture and removal technology.


The original article contains 369 words, the summary contains 183 words. Saved 50%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
