The outcome of Brazil’s COP30 climate summit was left hanging in the balance, with the European Union refusing to accept a draft deal it said would fail to advance global efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change.<\/p>\n

The two-week conference being held in the Amazon city of Belem had been scheduled to end Friday evening, but blew past that deadline as negotiations continued late into the night.<\/p>\n

Brazil has cast the summit as a make-or-break moment for global climate cooperation, urging nations to bridge divides on issues including the future of fossil fuels and to send a message that concerted global action is the best way forward.<\/p>\n

“This cannot be an agenda that divides us,” COP30 President André Corrêa do Lago told delegates in a public plenary session before releasing them for further negotiations.<\/p>\n

“We must reach an agreement between us.”<\/p>\n

Some emerging economies hit back at the EU’s position, demanding the bloc commit more finance to help poorer nations cope with climate change.<\/p>\n

“We can’t just work with one pathway. If there is a pathway for fossil fuel, there has to be a pathway for climate finance as well,” said a negotiator for a developing country, who was granted anonymity to discuss the closed-door negotiations.<\/p>\n

The rifts over fossil fuels, cutting CO2 emissions faster and finance highlighted the difficulty of reaching a consensus at the annual conference, a perennial test of global resolve to avert the worst impacts of global warming.<\/p>\n

A draft text for a deal, released by Brazil before dawn on Friday, contained no reference to fossil fuels, dropping a range of options on the subject that had been included in an earlier version.<\/p>\n

Scores of countries, including major oil and gas producer nations, had opposed the options.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the summit, some 80 governments had demanded COP30 deliver a plan to shift away from fossil fuels. But by Friday night, many of those nations had indicated in closed-door talks they would accept the deal without it, negotiators said.<\/p>\n

Burning fossil fuels emits greenhouse gases that are by far the largest contributors to global warming.<\/p>\n

STANDOFF OVER FOSSIL FUELS<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 27-member EU said the text was too weak.<\/p>\n

“Under no circumstances are we going to accept this,” EU Commissioner for Climate Wopke Hoekstra said in a statement on Friday.<\/p>\n

The EU indicated it could “move beyond its comfort zone” on finance for developing nations – but only if the text’s sections on action to cut planet-warming emissions were strengthened.<\/p>\n

By Friday night, some European negotiators said the bloc was considering the option of walking away from the talks, rather than accepting the current deal.<\/p>\n

A Brazilian negotiator told Reuters the fossil fuel language was unlikely to be reintroduced, and that the summit presidency was pressing for only small adjustments to the existing draft.<\/p>\n

Other options being discussed by negotiators included a separate side deal on fossil fuels, which countries could voluntarily sign up to but which would not be agreed by consensus as COP deals need to be, negotiators said.<\/p>\n

Three sources said the Arab Group negotiating bloc, whose 22 members include Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, told a closed-door meeting of negotiators that its energy industries were off limits in discussions.<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia delivered a statement from the Arab Group to negotiators, warning that targeting its industries would collapse the negotiations, the sources said.<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia did not reply to a request for comment addressed to the Saudi government communications office.<\/p>\n

MULTILATERALISM UNDER PRESSURE<\/p>\n

The draft deal also called for global efforts to triple the financing available to help nations adapt to climate change by 2030, from 2025 levels.<\/p>\n

However, it did not specify whether this money would be provided directly by wealthy nations, or other sources including development banks or the private sector.<\/p>\n

A deal text would need approval by consensus among the nearly 200 countries present in order to be adopted.<\/p>\n

Corrêa do Lago said a show of multilateral unity was an important signal to send given this year’s U.S. absence. President Donald Trump has called global warming a hoax.<\/p>\n

“The world is watching,” Corrêa do Lago said.<\/p>\n
