From The Guardian: The world is not winning the fight against the climate crisis but it is still in that fight, the UN climate chief has said in Belm, Brazil, after a bitterly contested Cop30 reached a deal. Countries at Cop30 failed to bring the curtain down on the fossil fuel age amid opposition from some countries led by Saudi Arabia, and they underdelivered on a flagship hope -- at a conference held in the Amazon " to chart an end to deforestation. But in a fractious era of nationalism, war and distrust, the talks did not collapse as was feared. Multilateralism held -- just. "We knew this Cop would take place in stormy political waters," said Simon Stiell, the UN's climate chief, after a long and occasionally angry final plenary at the climate summit. "Denial, division and geopolitics has dealt international cooperation some heavy blows this year."
