Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva held a summit in Belem before COP30 and returned Wednesday to press for a deal

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva arrived in Belem on Wednesday to press negotiators to reach an early deal at UN climate talks as nations remain far apart on contentious issues.

COP30 host Brazil released a draft pact on Tuesday, hoping to get nations to agree on the most contentious points as soon as Wednesday, two days before the conference is scheduled to end in the Amazonian city.
