With a direct letter sent to nations, host country Brazil is shifting the U.N. climate conference into a higher gear., the first ever in the Amazon rainforest, a key regulator of climate because trees absorb carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that warms the planet. The letter comes ahead of speeches of high-level ministers Tuesday.

More leaders will also speak from small island states and developing countries like Barbados and Bangladesh, both facing loss of land as seas rise because of climate change.by Tuesday night so that much is out of the way before the final set decisions Friday, when the conference is scheduled to end.

For negotiators, Brazil’s letter will mean later nights as they seek to strike political bargains across a host of contentious issues.“There are important concessions we expect from all sides,” said André Corrêa do Lago, COP30 president. “It is said you have to give to receive.” That Wednesday timeline is “pretty ambitious” and the stakes are high, said Alden Meyer, a senior associate at climate think tank E3G. “Whether it’s dealing with the impacts of climate change, dealing with increased energy bills and energy insecurity, improving health, creating jobs. Those are the things that people care about. They don’t care about some sub-paragraph in a legal decision adopted here in Belem,” Meyer said. “Brazil, the presidency, has made that very clear since the beginning, that that’s going to be the litmus test.” He added that the optimistic spirit of the host country “is starting to get a little infectious” and that that is part of building trust and goodwill amongst nations.The Associated Press’ climate and environmental coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.
