As the clock races towards the end, negotiators are dealing with multiple, complex issues to strike an agreement for the overall Belem package.  

Stay with us until the end for more updates and analyses of the COP30 outcome.  

After the Tuesday night shocker by the COP30 Presidency to push Parties to an agreement, things did not end there.  

Yesterday, President Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazil showed up in Belém, in a visit his team said aimed to ‘‘provide an overview’’ of the negotiations. In a statement later, the presidency said the conference ‘‘will continue until Friday.’’  

Today, countries at COP30 will adopt the Belém Political Package, the contents of which will be made public later. This was announced last night by the COP30 Presidency. The president and his team will be consulting with ministers ‘‘to progress toward agreement.’’ 

On Friday last week, discontent members of the Amazonian Indigenous People blocked the entrance of the COP30 venue in Belém. Fearing the protests would disrupt proceedings at the climate talks, UN Climate chief Simon Stiell wrote a secret letter to the government of Brazil, asking for enhanced security at COP30.

Members of the civil society have now faulted the crackdown on the Amazon residents by the Government of Brazil. But the guns are being trained on Stiell, the author of the letter. More than 200 civil society organisations from around the world have hit back.

On Sunday, more than 30,000 people marched through the city of Belém, Brazil, to mark the ‘‘Global Day of Action for Climate Justice’’. In a mobilisation led by the People’s Summit and supported by civil society groups, the march brought together workers’ unions, Indigenous communities, international networks, youth movements, and climate defenders from across the world to demand climate justice.
