Brazilian President Lula foreshadowed a potential effort to move beyond the commitment countries made two years ago to “transition away from fossil fuels.”

"We need road maps," he told world leaders at the #COP30 leaders summit.

That's why we have made €13.8 million available for cross-border journalism partnerships and media pluralism.

The European Union's national leaders spent a summit venting their frustration about the bloc's green transition — and ultimately agreed on language that didn't demand specific changes to climate legislation.
Leaders vent worries but refrain from blowing up the EU’s green agenda
In the words of one diplomat: “Classic balance, everyone equally unhappy.”
