DEVELOPING: COP30 Climate Talks Collapse Amid Fossil Fuel Deal Failures

Breaking News: COP30 Climate Talks Collapse Amid Fossil Fuel Deal Failures The United Nations climate summit COP30 in Belém, Brazil has ended in disarray, with a deal that fails to secure new commitments to reduce fossil fuel use. The talks, which overran by almost 24 hours, concluded on Sunday with a final agreement called the Mutirão. The Mutirão calls on countries to "voluntarily" accelerate their climate action, but it contains no direct reference to phasing out oil, coal, and gas. This is a major setback for over 80 countries, including the UK and EU, which had pushed for a more ambitious deal. The collapse of the talks comes as the UN warns that global efforts to limit global temperature rise to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels are failing. Colombia's President Gustavo Petro has already rejected the agreement, saying he "does not accept" the deal. The failure to reach a deal on fossil fuel use is a significant blow to efforts to address the climate crisis. The impact of this failure will be felt in the coming years, as the world struggles to meet its climate targets. This is a developing story, with further details and reactions emerging in the coming hours and days. We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
