Overview
- Conference president André Corrêa do Lago received the Cúpula dos Povos’ final letter and said he will register its demands at the opening of this week’s high‑level meetings.
- President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva confirmed he will return to Belém on November 19 for the closing negotiations, calling the coming days decisive and planning talks with UN chief António Guterres.
- Talks on adaptation indicators remain blocked by a finance dispute, with the African Group proposing a 2027 delay to increase leverage for funding commitments.
- Developed countries are pressing for private investment and tighter mitigation rules, while developing nations insist on justice and new, additional, predictable public funding for adaptation.
- A rest day paused formal talks on Sunday after a mass climate march estimated at about 70,000 people and an indigenous‑led push that rejected ‘false solutions’ and called for land demarcation, a fossil‑fuel phaseout, and public finance for a just transition.
