Overview
- Small island states and many European countries formally rejected Brazil’s proposal because it excludes a roadmap to transition away from oil, gas and coal.
- Oil‑producing nations led by the Arab Group opposed any fossil‑fuel wording, and Brazilian negotiators signaled the language is unlikely to be reinstated.
- EU climate chief Wopke Hoekstra labeled the text unacceptable and warned the bloc could prefer no deal to the current draft.
- The draft calls for efforts to triple adaptation finance by 2030 from 2025 levels but leaves funding sources undefined, and developed countries resisted reopening finance talks.
- With consensus required and the United States absent, negotiations extended past the deadline as parties also sparred over trade measures such as carbon border policies.
