Lula to return to COP30 as first draft climate deal lands

Brazil leads efforts at COP30 to resolve disputes over finance, trade, and fossil fuel phaseout with nearly 200 nations negotiating a draft climate deal.

  • On Tuesday, a first draft climate deal landed at COP30 as President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva announced he would return to Belem to help seal an agreement before talks end Friday.
  • Brazil pushed to secure a fast agreement because it sought to demonstrate global unity even as the United States skipped the summit and many nations faced divisions among nearly 200 nations.
  • The nine-page text outlines several paths, including annual assessments of national climate pledges, tripling adaptation finance by 2030 or 2035, and an option to publish no text at all.
  • Brazil's midweek push on Monday pressured negotiators to extend work hours, with David Waskow saying it would `put pressure on delegates to move quickly`.
  • EU voices flagged concerns, with Wopke Hoekstra saying `This is a mixed bag` and Brazilian officials Geraldo Alckmin and Marina Silva addressing Belem amid growing trade and finance debates.
