world strikes climate deal but fails to agree to a roadmap away from

The world struck a new climate deal at the COP30 summit in Brazil Saturday, which calls for a tripling of funding to help countries adapt to increasingly severe climate impacts. But countries failed to agree to a roadmap away from fossil fuels, after entrenched divisions threatened to collapse the talks. The agreement came after more than two weeks of increasingly fraught negotiations between representatives of more than 190 countries in the port city of Belém, known as the gateway to the Amazon. Disagreements reached such fever pitch there were fears the summit would collapse with no deal. Talks stretched overtime as dozens of nations pushed back against an outcome that didn’t explicitly mention a transition away from oil, coal and gas — the drivers of the climate crisis. But just after midday local time Saturday, the COP30 president André Corrêa do Lago gaveled through a deal.

The final text contained no mention of fossil fuels, signaling a retreat from consensus agreements only two years old. It included only a general agreement on deforestation, rather than more explicit commitments, which had been another key issue in the negotiations. More than 80 countries, including Colombia, the UK and France, supported the concept of a “roadmap” to transition away from fossil fuels, building on a commitment made at COP28 in Dubai in 2023. However, intense opposition from petrostates — including Saudi Arabia and Russia — and other heavy fossil fuels users prevented consensus. The agreement does not include a roadmap to phase out fossil fuels worldwide. It took an extra day, but delegates at COP30, the United Nations' climate conference, have reached a deal on a final agreement.

The agreement, however, falls far short of the high expectations many delegates, environmental groups and non-governmental organizations had going into the annual conference in Belém, Brazil. Despite more than 80 countries calling for a roadmap to phase out fossil fuels worldwide, the primary cause of human-amplified climate change, that demand did not make it into the final text. Although the conference took place in what's called the "gateway to the Amazon," the COP30 agreement also doesn't include any significant new initiatives to stop deforestation and protect the Amazon rainforest, known as "the...

Delgado, Associated Press Anton L. Delgado, Associated Press BELEM, Brazil (AP) — United Nations climate talks in Brazil reached a subdued agreement Saturday to deliver more money to countries hit hardest by climate change to help them adapt to extreme weather’s wrath. But the agreement doesn’t include an explicit detailed map to phase out fossil fuels or strengthen inadequate emissions cutting plans. The Brazilian hosts of the conference said they’d eventually come up with a road map to get away from fossil fuels working with hardline Colombia, but it won’t have the same force as something...

Andre Penner/AP hide caption BELÉM, Brazil — This year's United Nations global climate conference in Brazil ended on Saturday with a formal agreement that failed to address phasing out fossil fuels — the main driver of global warming. The United States was conspicuously absent from this year's talks, known as COP30, after the Trump administration refused to send a delegation to Belém, Brazil. In the end, the conference delivered only modest progress on international efforts to curb global warming and pay for the costs of adapting to a hotter planet. Earlier in the week, more than 80 countries had demanded negotiators agree to a "roadmap" to transition the global economy away from fossil fuels. The group included many developing nations hit hard by climate change, along with the United Kingdom, Germany, and oil producers like Mexico and Brazil.

The UN climate summit has agreed on a deal that does not include a roadmap for the phaseout of fossil fuels. DW has more. Nearly 200 nations have agreed on a deal after the 30th annual UN climate conference was extended. The European Union had said it would not stand in the way, but denounced the lack of ambition in the draft agreement, which omits any direct mention of phasing out fossil fuels. The summit was extended into Saturday after delegates had failed to seal a deal, with fossil fuels one of the main sticking points.
