Overview
- Brazil sent a letter pressing countries to resolve core texts by Tuesday to set up final decisions by Friday, prompting longer negotiating hours in Belém.
- At least two dozen nations, including Spain, the United Kingdom and Germany, publicly called for a concrete, dated roadmap to phase out coal, oil and gas to anchor the summit’s outcome.
- Finance remains the main sticking point, with the Bakú–Belém ambition of $1.3 trillion a year and a $300 billion public pledge still unmet, leaving key finance and adaptation texts bracketed.
- The Loss & Damage Fund opened its first call for project proposals with an initial $250 million package and roughly $397 million currently available, offering grants of $5–20 million.
- Mass mobilizations — estimated at 50,000–70,000 people on land and a flotilla on the Bay of Guajará — pressed for Amazon protection and a fossil exit as Brazil promoted a $125 billion tropical forests fund and faced criticism over Petrobras’s new Amazon offshore exploration license.
