BRAZIL: Tensions loom over early days of COP30
The United Nations climate change conference (COP30) in the Amazonian city of Belém, running from 10-21 November, is considered the top highlight of the foreign policy calendar this year for Brazil’s government led by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. World leaders gathered in Belém in the days before the start of the summit, and Lula had a chance to promote Brazil’s green credentials and climate finance proposals. The first day of the summit also got off to a relatively smooth start, with no delays in agreeing on the agenda of the conference. However, there are still tensions, not only regarding the diverging interests of governments but also with civil society groups, with some activists making headlines by attempting to storm the restricted zone of the conference venue on 11 November.
