What's Happening?
The closing session of the COP30 climate summit, presided over by Andre Correa do Lago, resumed after being temporarily suspended due to procedural complaints. Some parties at the summit expressed that their objections were not considered before parts
of the agreement package were approved. After consultations, it was decided that the previously made decisions would stand. The summit, which focuses on global climate change initiatives, faced challenges in reaching consensus among participating nations.
