- Story Text: Brazil's president met with negotiators at the COP30 summit on Wednesday (November 19) as part of a drive to land an early deal on some of the most divisive issues in global climate talks, including fossil fuels and climate finance.
The Brazilian leader and other officials met with ministers from Africa and small island states' negotiating groups as they push for consensus at the COP30 climate talks in Belem.
The closed-door session included Brazil's Environment and Climate Change Minister Marina Silva and COP30 President Ambassador Andre Correa do Lago.
The discussions are expected to focus on climate finance, adaptation, and mitigation strategies.
The leader also met with Brazilian Indigenous leaders.
Host Brazil, hoping to buck the trend in which recent climate summits ran well past deadline, was seeking to endorse a package of agreements later on Wednesday, and the outstanding issues on Friday (November 21). But it is already facing delays publishing new negotiating texts.
