United Nations climate negotiations in Bonn ended on 26 June with limited headway on core disputes over financing, adaptation metrics and a phase-out of fossil fuels, heightening pressure on Brazil to broker solutions when it chairs COP30 in Belém from 10 to 21 November. UN climate chief Simon Stiell warned that “much remains to be done,” despite agreement on draft texts for a just transition and a modest 10% budget increase for the UN climate secretariat. Brazil has intensified diplomatic outreach ahead of the summit. Speaking in London, Environment Minister Marina Silva said COP30 “must be a new referential” and suggested mandating a global roadmap to end fossil-fuel use and deforestation. She criticised wealthy nations for swiftly endorsing a NATO call to raise defence spending to 5% of GDP while a US$1.3 trillion annual climate-finance target remains unmet. COP30 chief executive Ana Toni described the event as a “historic opportunity” for Brazil to place Amazon-centred solutions and financing for nature at the heart of global climate policy. Domestic observers say Brasília passed an initial “first test” in Bonn but must still bridge deep divides on money and mitigation before November. Logistics are another challenge. Although officials insist “Belém is ready,” delegates report hotel prices exceeding R$8,000 (about US$1,450) per night. The Justice Ministry’s consumer-protection agency has asked major hotels to justify their rates, and the government plans to launch an official booking platform offering 29,000 rooms and 55,000 beds, including two cruise ships with 6,000 berths, to accommodate an expected 50,000 participants. With negotiations stalled and accommodation costs under scrutiny, Brazil aims to use the coming months to secure broader backing for a fossil-fuel transition blueprint, unlock climate finance and ensure smooth logistics, hoping to deliver tangible progress when world leaders gather in the Amazon.
