Talks at the COP30 climate summit have entered their final week, with world leaders concentrating efforts on delivering a deal that reaffirms the 2015 Paris Agreement, while laying out clear plans for future climate action.<\/p>\n
Asked if there was any one issue dominating the talks in Brazil, COP30 President Andr\u00e9 Aranha Corr\u00eaa do Lago replied: “Everything, everything. It’s very complicated.”<\/p>\n
More than 50,000 delegates, including several from Ireland, are attending the crucial negotiations in Bel\u00e9m.<\/p>\n

Irish climate scientist Dr Clare Noone from the University of Galway told RT\u00c9 News that protecting the rainforest is essential if we are to reach net zero emissions targets.<\/p>\n
