With all eyes on the big COP30 agenda items, WIM review talks have stalled.
Negotiators and civil society observers say it has come down to Kenya blocking the decision.
This goes back to Kenya wanting to host the Santiago Network secretariat in Nairobi. It says current host Geneva is too expensive

The option for a just transition mechanism - the Belem Action Mechanism - now includes an alternative for an 'action plan'
This follows the EU tabling this as an option on Friday, having pushed back on the BAM

Per ENB, Arab Group & India are opposing references to 1.5C in the COP30 outcome, even tho it's coming from World Meteorological Org?

Im old enough to remember when capitalism was a thing in America.
The Trump admin seems set to force two Colorado coal plants to stay open past their planned closure this year, even as the costs of keeping an aging, unnecessary Michigan coal plant running through the summer top $80M. Are more must-run orders coming?
