But, \u201chow come does this never get picked up [by the media]?\u201d he asked, appearing to have taken the criticism personally.<\/p>\n<p>To reinforce his pro-science credentials, Al Jaber came to the press conference with Jim Skea, chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.<\/p>\n<p>To nods from the Cop28 president, Skea said that in 1.5C-compatible scenarios \u201cby 2050, fossil fuel use is greatly reduced and unabated coal use is completely phased out.\u201d He added that oil use by 2050 is reduced by 60% and gas by 45%. Al Jaber, Skea said, was \u201cattentive to the science\u201d and \u201cfully understood it\u201d.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<blockquote>\n<h3 lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><strong>The latest headlines<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2023\/12\/04\/dont-be-fooled-ccs-is-no-solution-to-oil-and-gas-emissions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2023\/12\/04\/dont-be-fooled-ccs-is-no-solution-to-oil-and-gas-emissions\">Don&#8217;t be fooled: CCS is no solution to oil and gas emissions<\/a> &#8211; <em>Laurence Tubiana and Emmanuel Guerin, European Climate Foundation<\/em><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2023\/12\/03\/vietnam-charts-uncertain-coal-path-as-finance-falls-short\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2023\/12\/03\/vietnam-charts-uncertain-coal-path-as-finance-falls-short\/\">Vietnam charts uncertain coal path as finance falls short<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2023\/12\/02\/us-tees-up-congress-battle-with-3bn-green-climate-fund-pledge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2023\/12\/02\/us-tees-up-congress-battle-with-3bn-green-climate-fund-pledge\/\">US tees up Congress battle with $3bn Green Climate Fund pledge<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Event: Reading the politics<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At 18:00 Dubai time today, Tuesday 5 December, Climate Home News will review the first week of Cop28 with special guests Vanessa Nakate, Bernice Lee and Harjeet Singh.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zoom.us\/webinar\/register\/WN_SObxilzKQ6qCB-EBzCG_WQ?utm_source=Climate+Weekly&amp;utm_campaign=c163cc9d6e-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2023_07_28_05_27_COPY_01&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_-6ff1db6665-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D#\/registration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Register<\/a> to watch live on Zoom and submit written questions to the panel.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>&#8216;The mother of all cover decisions&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p>As Cop28 enters the deep negotiations phase, anxiety is kicking in.

Last June, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2023\/06\/13\/un-bonn-climate-talks-sb58-climate-finance-mititagion-work-programme\/?utm_source=Climate+Weekly&amp;utm_campaign=c163cc9d6e-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2023_07_28_05_27_COPY_01&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_-6ff1db6665-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">extended fight<\/a> over the agenda in Bonn hindered progress, leaving all the painstaking work to Dubai.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fundamental challenge is that we came into Cop28 without a formal negotiating text,\u201d Kaveh Guilanpour, a former lead negotiator for the EU and UK, told Climate Home. \u201cAfter Bonn, all we had was unagreed headings, and no substantive discussions.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Banga dismisses fear of the World Bank<\/h3>\n<p>One of the biggest concessions developing countries made to get a loss and damage fund up and running was agreeing to let the World Bank initially host it.<\/p>\n<p>Developing countries <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2023\/10\/20\/world-bank-controversy-sends-loss-and-damage-talks-into-overtime\/?utm_source=Climate+Weekly&amp;utm_campaign=c163cc9d6e-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2023_07_28_05_27_COPY_01&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_-6ff1db6665-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">expressed strong concerns<\/a> about US dominance of the Bank&#8217;s culture and limits that placed on the new fund&#8217;s autonomy.<\/p>\n<p>When Climate Home News nabbed president Ajay Banga for a quick interview after a side event, he dismissed such fears as a &#8220;misunderstanding&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat position is based on the idea that somehow the World Bank will control how that money is put out to work. That\u2019s not the method, which is why they approved it. We\u2019re only a trustee,\u201d Banga said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know where the misunderstanding came from that we somehow will be deciding how the money is used,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>While the World Bank will not dictate funding decisions, the fund\u2019s staff will be Bank employees, which could influence work culture, said Liane Schalatek, Associate Director of the Heinrich-B\u00f6ll-Stiftung. World Bank staff could also be seconded to the loss and damage fund.<\/p>\n<p>Michai Robertson, a climate finance negotiator for small island states, remained wary. The \u201cbiggest obstacle\u201d for the not-yet-elected board will be negotiating against the World Bank\u2019s policies, he said in a press conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis institution will need to, as its president has highlighted that it\u2019s ready to reform, will need to change,\u201d Robertson said.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>In brief<\/h3>\n<p lang=\"EN-GB\"><strong>More important things<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 While dozens of world leaders spoke at Cop28, others stayed away.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/china\/chinas-xi-tells-coast-guard-enforce-maritime-law-2023-12-01\/?utm_source=Climate+Weekly&amp;utm_campaign=c163cc9d6e-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2023_07_28_05_27_COPY_01&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_-6ff1db6665-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"12\">China\u2019s Xi Jinping<\/a>\u00a0was inspecting the coast guard, Canada\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JustinTrudeau\/status\/1730703733422498010?utm_source=Climate+Weekly&amp;utm_campaign=c163cc9d6e-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2023_07_28_05_27_COPY_01&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_-6ff1db6665-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"13\">Justin Trudeau was<\/a>\u00a0eating Chinese food and campaigning in Ontario, Australia\u2019s Anthony Albanese was\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/australia-news\/2023\/dec\/02\/albanese-is-prioritising-governing-over-spectacle-but-in-an-era-of-zero-sum-politics-is-it-enough?utm_source=Climate+Weekly&amp;utm_campaign=c163cc9d6e-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2023_07_28_05_27_COPY_01&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_-6ff1db6665-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"14\">calling in<\/a>\u00a0to talk radio show in Melbourne and we don\u2019t know what the US\u2019s Joe Biden was doing.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-GB\"><strong>$57bn &#8216;mobilised&#8217;<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The Cop28 presidency\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/COP28_UAE\/status\/1731676847014895696?utm_source=Climate+Weekly&amp;utm_campaign=c163cc9d6e-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2023_07_28_05_27_COPY_01&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_-6ff1db6665-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"15\">claims<\/a>\u00a0to have\u00a0mobilised\u00a0over $57 billion so far \u201cin new pledges and commitments\u201d.
