UK PM Starmer to attend COP30 in Brazil, PM's spokesperson says

Emerging economies led by China, India, and Brazil are expected to drive new climate finance and emission reduction commitments amid faltering Western engagement, analysts say.

  • COP30 will convene in Belém, Brazil, bringing nearly 200 countries to seek new emission‑reduction and climate‑finance commitments through 2035.
  • With the world not on track to meet 1.5 degrees Celsius, analysts say China, India and Brazil can fill leadership gaps as Western commitment falters.
  • One month before the summit, organizers face a serious accommodation shortage, forcing the Brazilian government to use cruise ships and vessels converted into floating hotels, causing delays in the Leaders' Village.
  • With core issues unresolved, the preparatory meeting kept dialogue open but left many issues, including the $1.3 trillion annual target, unconfirmed, setting up tough negotiations in Belém.
  • With the United States under Donald Trump largely disengaged, ministers at the preparatory meeting agreed to prioritise Paris Agreement implementation, while observers warn the process lacks ambition ahead of Belém.
