Portugal's Minister of Environment and Energy Maria Graca Carvalho, appointed as the EU's lead negotiator on technology, waits to enter a meeting at the COP30 UN Climate Change Conference in Belem, Para State, Brazil, on November 19, 2025. COP30 host Brazil pushed Tuesday for an early breakthrough at UN climate talks, with nations weighing a proposed deal that seeks to bridge major differences on fossil fuels, finance and trade barriers. Brazil wants an agreement reached by midweek, with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to make an unexpected return on Wednesday to Belem, the host city in the country's Amazon region, in a high-level bid to seal a deal.
