"The US exit from the Paris accord will not become official until January 2026. Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva explicitly invited Trump to COP30. But the Trump administration is not expected to send any high-level representatives to the meeting, and many say that's for the best. "Without the US, there's still a chance the world could come together in Belém," says Claudio Angelo, the international policy coordinator at Observatório do Clima, a coalition of climate organizations, who is based in Brasília."
"The United States is the world's second biggest greenhouse-gas emitter, accounting for 11% of global emissions. Although US emissions will continue to fall under Trump, they could increase by up to 470 million tonnes annually - more than three times the annual total from the Netherlands - over the next decade compared with what they would have been under Biden policies, according to an analysis led by researchers at Princeton University in New Jersey"
COP30 will convene in Belém, Brazil, on 10 November to secure commitments to limit dangerous climate change. The United States announced in January plans to exit the Paris Agreement for a second time and has promoted fossil fuels while reversing clean-energy funding and tax incentives introduced under the prior administration. The United States remains the world's second-largest emitter at about 11% of global emissions. Analyses indicate US emissions could rise by up to 470 million tonnes annually over the next decade compared with Biden-era policies. The US formal withdrawal is not effective until January 2026, and high-level US representation at COP30 is unlikely. The global outcome will depend heavily on actions by other major emitters, including China.
