Leaders at COP30 in Brazil failed to agree to place people over profits as a lack of unity, accountability and transparency chipped away at delivering the urgent and effective climate action needed, though there were some bright spots, Amnesty International said today at the end of the annual UN climate summit.

By Lisandra Paraguassu, Kate Abnett, William James and Sudarshan Varadhan BELEM, Brazil (Reuters) -Brazil's COP30 presidency pushed through a compromise climate deal on Saturday that would boost finance for poor nations coping with global warming but that omitted any mention of the fossil fuels driving it.

Many gave the deal lukewarm praise as the best that could be achieved in trying times, while others complained about the package or the process that led to its approval.

Brazil presented the COP30 climate summit with a deal in the early hours of Friday that omitted any reference to exiting fossil fuels amid stiff resistance from producing countries.

The deal's contents and the messy process that led to its adoption say as much about the world's divisions as its resolve to combat climate change together, observers, delegates and climate advocates said.

At United Nations climate talks billed widely as having a special focus on Indigenous people, those people themselves have mixed feelings about whether the highlight reel matches reality.
