scheduled deadline as countries remain deeply divided over a proposed deal that contains no reference to phasing out fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<p>Negotiators remained in closed-door meetings on Friday evening at the COP30 summit in the Brazilian city of Belem as they sought to bridge differences and deliver an agreement that includes concrete action to stem the climate crisis.<\/p>\n<section

main driver of climate change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis cannot be an agenda that divides us,\u201d COP30 President Andre Correa do Lago told delegates in a public plenary session before releasing them for further negotiations.\u00a0\u201cWe must reach an agreement between us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rift over the future of oil, gas and coal has underscored the difficulties of landing a consensus agreement at the annual UN conference, which serves as a test of global resolve to avert the worst impacts of global warming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany countries, especially oil-producing countries or countries that depend on fossil fuels \u2026 have stated that they do not want this mentioned in a final agreement,\u201d Al Jazeera\u2019s Monica Yanakiew reported from Rio de Janeiro on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, dozens of other countries have said they would not support any agreement that did not lay out a roadmap to phasing out fossil fuels, Yanakiew noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo this is a big divisive point,\u201d she said, adding that another major issue at the climate conference has been financing the transition away from fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<p>Developing countries \u2013 many of which are more susceptible to the effects of climate change, including more extreme weather events \u2013 have said they want richer nations to shoulder more of the financial burden of tackling the crisis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo there is a lot being discussed \u2026 and negotiators say that this might likely continue throughout the weekend,\u201d Yanakiew said.<\/p>\n<p>The deadlock comes as the UN Environment Programme warned ahead of COP30 that the world would \u201cvery likely\u201d exceed the 1.5-degree Celsius (2.7-degree Fahrenheit) warming limit\u00a0\u2013 an internationally agreed-upon target set under the Paris Agreement \u2013 within the next decade.<\/p>\n<p>Amnesty International also said in a recent report that the expansion of fossil fuel projects threatens at least two billion people \u2013 about one-quarter of the world\u2019s population.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement on Friday,\u00a0Nafkote Dabi, the climate policy lead at Oxfam International, said it was \u201cunacceptable\u201d for any final agreement to exclude a plan to phase out fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA roadmap is essential, and it must be just, equitable, and backed by real support for the Global South,\u201d Dabi said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDeveloped countries who grew wealthy on their fossil fuel-based economies must phase out first and fastest, while financing low\u2011carbon pathways for the Global South.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COP30 negotiations drag on in Brazil amid divisions over draft
