Now wak­ing up in the Caribbean? Here's what you need to know about day four of COP28 to start your day.

- Min­is­ter of Plan­ning and De­vel­op­ment Pen­ne­lope Beck­les tells a side event at COP28 that rur­al com­mu­ni­ties must not be for­got­ten in ear­ly warn­ing sys­tems.

- A new UN re­port re­leased to­day finds that 101 coun­tries now have some sort of ear­ly warn­ing sys­tem in place, up six from last year and dou­ble the num­ber in 2015.

The ar­ti­cle says Al Jaber made the com­ments in ill-tem­pered re­spons­es to ques­tions from Mary Robin­son, the chair of the El­ders group and a for­mer UN spe­cial en­voy for cli­mate change, dur­ing a live on­line event on 21 No­vem­ber. As well as run­ning Cop28 in Dubai, Al Jaber is al­so the chief ex­ec­u­tive of the Unit­ed Arab Emi­rates’ state oil com­pa­ny, Ad­noc, which many ob­servers see as a se­ri­ous con­flict of in­ter­est.
