Live. COP28: World leaders, nuclear power and methane pledges on day three of the UN climate conference

Welcome to our live coverage of the COP28. Keep up to date with the latest news from Dubai from the 3rd day of the UN climate conference.

Good morning from Dubai on day three of COP28!

In case you missed it, here's a summary of what happened yesterday:

More than 150 world leaders descended on the Dubai conference. A few used their speeches to announce contributions to the newly-agreed loss and damage fund, including Italian PM Meloni. She pledged €100 million from Italy.

A less straightforward pledge came from the French president, who promised “up to” €100 million during a leaders’ event on climate finance. Macron also announced an initiative to target higher interest rates for coal projects - a rare example among the speeches of a new effort to cut emissions. 

Another funding announcement came from the UAE. The COP28 hosts have created a new private investment fund geared towards climate solutions, starting the ball rolling with a generous $30 billion (€27.6bn).There was hesitant support from some, however. 

And more than 100 countries vowed to include farming and agriculture in their climate plans. The Emirates Declaration says that "any path" to meeting the key 1.5C goal must involve food and agriculture.
