<h1>Brazil's Environment Minister Urges Global Cooperation Amid Geopolitical Tensions and Trade Disputes Before Hosting COP30</h1> Brazil's Environment and Climate Minister highlighted that geopolitical issues, such as the US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and ongoing trade disputes, are undermining trust and complicating global climate action efforts. As Brazil prepares to host COP30, the minister emphasized the necessity of multilateral cooperation despite its current struggles. The minister criticized short-term trade protectionism for causing economic instability and stressed the importance of international collaboration to address climate and health challenges. Following a disappointing COP29, Brazil aims to develop a roadmap to secure the necessary USD 1.3 trillion annually for climate finance, despite the US's influence on Brazil's climate goals.
