Overview
- Brazil’s presidency released a nine‑page “Mutirão mondiale” draft that keeps multiple options on the table, including annual NDC synthesis, potential steps toward phasing out fossil fuels, and proposals to triple adaptation finance by 2030 or 2035.
- The European Union declared its carbon border adjustment mechanism non‑negotiable and reiterated opposition to increasing adaptation finance contributions at this stage.
- China, India and many developing countries pushed to address unilateral trade measures in the outcome, turning commerce—unusual for a COP decision—into a central blocking issue.
- President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva returned to Belém to press for progress as ministers held intensive consultations, with a tighter draft expected and consensus still out of reach on Wednesday.
- More than 80 countries from Europe, Latin America and island states backed calls for a roadmap to exit fossil fuels, while major producers resisted stronger language.
