He secured a big agreement on Day One of The SummitCountries committed at least $420m for areas suffering The Effects of Global Warming , in what Mr Jaber described as a " unique, unprecedented achievement" and a " very good start" for The Summit .
" We have delivered history today, " he told delegates to widespread applause as the motion passed on The First day of COP28, three decades after the idea was first mooted.
Mr Jaber also urged countries to promise to make deeper cuts to their emissions, work together to triple renewable power and double energy efficiency.
