Global climate negotiations hit turbulence as COP30 in Brazil's Amazonian city of Belem stretched past its Friday deadline, with delegates scrambling to bridge divides on fossil fuels and financial commitments. 🌱💸
Midnight Oil & Rising Tensions
What began as a two-week summit now resembles a climate-themed thriller, with negotiators working through the night. COP30 President Andre Correa do Lago urged unity: "This cannot divide us – we must agree."
Fossil Fuel Fault Lines
The draft deal faces pushback from the EU, who call it "insufficient," while developing nations demand more climate finance. A developing country negotiator told us anonymously: "If there's a pathway for fossil fuels, there must be one for finance too."
2023's Ghost Haunts 2025
Frustration simmers over perceived slow progress since 2023's COP28 agreement. Key sticking points include:
❌ Phaseout timelines for oil/coal/gas
💵 Tripling adaptation finance by 2030
⚖️ Fair support for climate-vulnerable nations
As dawn breaks over the Amazon, one question remains: Can this summit deliver more than hashtags? 🌅 #ClimateCountdown
