BRASILIA (Reuters) – Brazil, the host of this year’s COP30 global climate summit, sees an opportunity to amplify the voices of developing nations in the climate financing discussions, the COP30 head said on Thursday, as world leaders grapple with the United States’ withdrawal from the Paris Agreement.

Andre Correa do Lago told journalists in Brasilia on Thursday that negotiations are expected to be “harder” in the COP30 compared to last year’s summit, when the United States was “engaged in having policies to fight climate change”.
