Nations and environmental groups slam proposals at UN climate talks, calling them too weak
Thirty-six nations, including wealthy countries and vulnerable island states, oppose Brazil’s COP30 draft for lacking a clear fossil fuel phase-out roadmap, risking the talks’ success.
- On Friday at COP30 in Belém, a letter from 36 nations formally objected to a Brazil-drafted proposal that failed to explicitly name burning oil, gas and coal as global warming causes.
- Host Brazil's mutirão decision addresses four sticky issues including climate finance and national emissions curbing plans, but omits a detailed fossil-fuel phase-out roadmap opposed by powerful oil-producing nations.
- Slamming the draft, negotiators and activists said Panama's Juan Carlos Monterrey Gomez warned the U.N. process risks `becoming a clown show`, Bronwen Tucker called it `a shamefully weak text`, and delegations said `We express deep concern`.
- A fire on Thursday disrupted COP30 pavilions in Belém, prompting evacuations and leaving thirteen people treated for smoke inhalation, while agreement process requiring no formal objections may delay outcomes.
- With the 1.5°C target in jeopardy, the 119 national emissions curbing plans submitted this year fall far short of limiting warming, while the draft urges going further and Pacific island nations demand a survival road map.
