Trump's assault on climate make UN talks an uphill battle', says Cop30 chair
Briefly

This has contributed to a lack of convincing emission reduction plans from many countries. According to the summit president, Andre Correa do Lago, the international context complicates negotiations as other nations grapple with their commitments in light of the US's stance. The focus will be on encouraging global cooperation to tackle emissions amid this instability.
