flag The U.S. is skipping COP30 in Brazil, disappointing climate leaders amid stalled global progress.

flag The U.S. is not sending high-level officials to COP30 in Belem, Brazil, a move EU Climate Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra called a major setback for global climate efforts, citing the country’s role as a top emitter and its withdrawal from the Paris Agreement under President Trump. flag Despite record renewable energy growth, global progress toward net-zero emissions is stalling due to shifting political priorities, reduced climate finance, and lagging national climate plans. flag While China leads in clean energy investment and the EU maintains its 2050 net-zero goal, both face internal challenges. flag Hoekstra stressed the need for stronger cooperation, carbon market integration, and urgent action to close the gap between current pledges and scientific targets ahead of the critical summit.
