COP30 climate talks overrun with deadlock over fossil fuels
COP30 climate talks hit deadlock over fossil fuels and finance as negotiations overrun. Host Brazil pushed for a roadmap to transition away from fossil fuels, but a draft deal failed to mention coal, oil, and gas. Disagreements persist as some countries seek stronger commitments on financial aid, while others argue for focusing on emissions reduction rather than fossil fuels directly. Time is running out to secure a deal as the closing plenary approaches, with tensions high over the future direction of global climate action.
