World leaders, activists, experts and many more are in or headed to Brazil for this year's annual United Nations climate talks. The Conference of the Parties is known less formally as COP30 since it's the 30th such meeting. It's being held in Belem. The city is on the doorstep of the Amazon rainforest. And organizers are counting on that location to remind negotiators what's at stake as the world warms dangerously. Organizers and analysts say they aren't expecting any major new agreement to result from COP30. They say success will depend instead on whether countries commit to executing on some of their past pledges.
