BELEM, Brazil - World governments agreed on Saturday to a compromise climate deal at the COP30 conference in Brazil that would boost finance for poor nations coping with global warming but omit any mention of the fossil fuels driving it.

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.

Negotiations at COP30 climate talks in Brazil ran into overtime on Saturday with delegates disputing whether to mention fossil fuels in the final text.

"This cannot be an agenda that divides us," COP30 President André Corrêa do Lago told delegates in a public plenary session before releasing them for further negotiations. "We must reach an agreement between us.

The outcome of Brazil's COP30 climate summit was left hanging in the balance, with the European Union refusing to accept a draft deal it said would fail to advance global efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change.

Brazil's COP30 presidency pushed through a compromise climate deal on Saturday that would boost finances for poor nations coping with global warming but that omitted any mention of the fossil fuels driving it.

The EU had pressed for language on the move away from fossil fuels but faced stiff resistance from Arab Group nations including Saudi Arabia.
