US EditionAmazon Summit: Leaders Unite Against Climate Crisis | Science-Environment
Brazil aims to mobilize at least $10 billion for tropical forest conservation during the summit, part of efforts to prevent surpassing 1.5°C global warming, UN officials said.
- Brazil hosted world leaders in Belém for a summit ahead of COP30, with about 150 leaders scheduled to deliver speeches next week, according to Lula.
- Rising global temperatures and insufficient emissions cuts prompted leaders to convene before COP30, with scientists projecting the world will cross the 1.5 deg C threshold around 2030.
- Brazil sought at least US$10 billion toward a US$125 billion Tropical Forest Forever Facility while China, Norway and Germany were expected to pledge and the United Kingdom disclosed on Nov 5 it would provide no cash.

- A delayed indigenous flotilla will not arrive until next week, organisers said, while a small group marched outside the unfinished venue as the summit led into COP30 marking three decades of climate talks.
