  • Draft texts published Tuesday were filled with brackets, highlighting unresolved differences across multiple issues.
  • Six facilitator teams met behind closed doors and transmitted consolidated proposals to Brazil’s presidency and the summit secretariat.
  • Negotiators report progress after late-night sessions, and the presidency is said to be targeting two packages between Wednesday night and Friday covering adaptation, mitigation, a just transition and finance.
  • Up to 80 countries are reported to support a solutions-focused roadmap on phasing out fossil fuels, stopping deforestation and mobilizing finance, with Europe largely supportive except Italy and Poland.
