Mr Jaber's.
Documents leaked to The Bbc suggest The .
Mr Jaber has previously argued that he is from The Oil and gas industry, and that as chairman of Renewable Energy firm Masdar, Like wind and Solar Power .
Why is COP28 important?It is hoped COP28 will help keep alive The Goal of limiting long-term global temperature rises to 1. 5C. This Was agreed by nearly 200 countries in.
The 1. 5C target is crucial to avoid The Most damaging impacts of Climate Change , according to The UN's climate body, The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Long-term warming currently stands at about 1. 1C or 1. 2C compared with pre-industrial times - The period before humans started burning fossil fuels at scale.
However, recent estimates suggest The to, although The exact numbers are uncertain.
As a result, The is " rapidly narrowing" The UN says.

There will also be.
Who will be at COP28?More Than 200 governments are invited.

Mr Jaber has called for a " phase down" in their use, meaning a reduction over time, but not a complete end. However, The European Union is expected to push for a full " phase out".
Climate campaigners point out that restricting agreements to " unabated" fossil fuels would allow some production to continue. They say there is no guarantee capturing emissions will work at scale.
Money will also be an issue.
At COP27, a was agreed for richer countries to pay poorer countries facing The Effects of Climate Change .
But exactly how this will work is still unclear. The US, for example, has for its historical emissions.
In 2009, developed countries committed to give $100bn (£82bn) a year, by 2020, to developing countries to help them reduce emissions and prepare for Climate Change .
The Target was missed but is expected to be reached in 2023.
Will COP28 make any difference?Critics of previous COPs, including, accuse The summits of " greenwashing" that is, countries and businesses promote their climate credentials without making The Changes needed.
