Almost 200 nations gathered in Brazil for the United Nations’ annual climate summit capped two weeks of fraught negotiations with an agreement Saturday on new efforts to help guide their transition away from the fossil fuels driving global warming.

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.

World leaders agreed to a climate deal after two weeks of negotiations at the COP30 conference in Brazil. While it aims to provide funding for developing nations dealing with climate change, the compromise doesn't include any direct mention of fossil fuels.

Negotiators resolved a protracted standoff over the balance between action to cut greenhouse gas emissions and provide climate finance.

This year's COP30 summit in Belem, Brazil, highlighted food, forests and land as key topics to be addressed. One sector that crosses across all these is agriculture, which is responsible for about one-third of global carbon emissions.
