Overview
- UN officials said activists briefly forced entry at the Belém venue, leaving two security staff with minor injuries before the site was secured and talks continued under an active investigation.
- Protesters included Indigenous groups and health advocates seeking to present territorial and public‑health demands, with banners declaring that their land is not for sale.
- For the first time at a UN climate summit, negotiators formally added information integrity and countering climate disinformation to the official agenda.
- Brazil published initial draft texts, set out a finance discussion timetable, and urged parties to prioritize consensus and practical solutions over divisions.
- With no U.S. federal delegation present, subnational figures such as California Governor Gavin Newsom filled part of the gap, as Spain pledged €35 million to the Strategic Climate Fund and African negotiators pressed for predictable, grant‑based financing.
