Overview
- Brazil’s latest draft omitted explicit references to fossil fuels and a Lula-backed roadmap, prompting the European Union to block the proposed agreement.
- The EU is pressing for stronger commitments to move away from oil, coal and gas, facing pushback led by the Arab Group and several emerging economies.
- A draft section calls for tripling adaptation finance by 2035, with the EU signaling flexibility on funding if emissions language is strengthened.
- With decisions requiring consensus, negotiators worked through the night and a closing plenary was scheduled for 1300 GMT as the risk of no deal grew.
- The talks proceeded without the United States under President Trump, while disputes over trade language tied to the EU’s CBAM and venue disruptions added strain.
