'Moral failure': Leaders seek to rally world at Amazon climate talks
Leaders seek urgent climate action and increased finance amid failure to meet 1.5C warming limit, with Norway pledging $2.9 billion for rainforest conservation.
- On Thursday, heads of state and government met in Belem, Brazilian Amazon, ahead of COP30 and acknowledged failing to hold warming to 1.5C.
- Brazil hopes COP30, which officially begins on Monday, can reaffirm climate as a global priority despite wars, trade tensions, economic uncertainty and the Trump administration's chilling effect, while Chile's Gabriel Boric criticised the United States for denying the climate crisis.
- Norway pledged up to 30 billion kroner to Brazil’s rainforest conservation fund, while Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang said, `China is a country that honors its commitments`.
- COP30 will focus on adaptation for countries unable to afford defenses against climate disasters and on boosting climate finance to $1.3 trillion a year by 2035, with President Felix Tshisekedi, DR Congo, highlighting an inequality crisis.
- The choice of Belem as host has been controversial because limited infrastructure and sky-high hotel fees complicated participation of small delegations and NGOs, while Brazil's approval of oil drilling near the mouth of the Amazon River will sit awkwardly at the summit.
