Lula Lands In Amazon To Press For Climate Deal

Lula aims to unify negotiators amid disputes over fossil fuel phase-out and climate finance, with a draft pact released and a new text expected Wednesday, COP30 head said.

  • On Wednesday, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva arrived in Belem to press negotiators for an early deal as COP30 host Brazil issued a draft pact on Tuesday and a new text was due on Wednesday.
  • Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Brazilian President, invested political capital to deliver a "COP of truth" and met delegations from emerging countries, Europe, island states, Indigenous groups, and civil society.
  • Andre Correa do Lago, head of COP30, urged negotiators to work nonstop to bridge divisions while Monique Barbut, French ecological transition minister, said, `I don't see how that could happen,` though officials noted `a little bit of movement.`
  • No COP decision was expected today, negotiators said, with Irish climate minister Darragh O'Brien adding, "We're not looking at any increases in adaptation finance," highlighting stalled talks and finance limits.
  • A draft text laid bare the gulf between a Europe and island states coalition pushing a fossil-fuel phase-out roadmap and an oil-producing countries bloc, with the European Union leading opposition amid economic headwinds.
