Overview
- Brazil issued a nine-page ‘Global Mutirão’ draft with 21 options on pledges, finance, trade and transparency, urging countries to lock in a first package by midweek.
- Negotiations ran late into the night with major gaps unresolved, as the presidency seeks a two-stage outcome with an initial agreement Wednesday and final decisions by Friday.
- A cross-regional group of roughly 80–82 countries publicly pressed for a concrete roadmap to phase out fossil fuels, facing pushback from oil-producing states.
- The draft offers optional language ranging from a workshop or ministerial roundtable on reducing fossil-fuel dependency to no text, while also proposing annual pledge reviews and tripling adaptation finance by 2030 or 2035.
- EU officials signaled resistance to reopening hard-fought finance compromises and to curbs on climate-related trade tools, as Brazil prepares a presidential-level push and the U.S. skips the summit.
