This is interesting.

The EU’s #CBAM has become a key point of contention in #UNFCCC talks (see bsky.app/profile/mjfe...).

Brazil is now essentially proposing a bad bank to offload this discussion, so that it won’t hamper #COP30.

Novel use of ye olde yet-another-forum.

EU environment ministers failed to agree on emissions targets for 2035 & 2040, deferring the decision to leaders at a European Council meeting in October. The bloc will now head to the UNGA without new pledges.

EU ministers fail to agree climate targets

EU countries' leaders make decisions based on unanimity, potentially allowing laggards to block ambition on climate targets

Specifically, dedicated climate desk officers in strategically chosen embassies, a regular coordination round between ministries, and the label #Klimaaußenpolitik, surprisingly, at least to some extent. Unless this is just the press office mistaking it for a technical term. (2/2)
