Overview
- Delegates approved the Global Mutirão by consensus after overnight talks, with nearly 200 countries involved and the United States absent.
- The final text omits an explicit timetable to phase out coal, oil and gas and does not include the deforestation roadmap sought by Lula and more than 80 countries.
- European Union countries backed the compromise following internal coordination, as Italy’s environment minister called it the only feasible outcome, drawing criticism from green politicians.
- The agreement urges a tripling of adaptation funding by 2035, though reported figures diverge, with some citing $1.3 trillion a year by 2035 and others $120 billion in 2035.
- New processes—the Global Implementation Accelerator and the Belém Mission to 1.5—were launched, and a first-ever trade chapter pressed by China references WTO work and concerns over measures like the EU’s carbon border policy.
