Brasilia, October 14 (Xinhua) — Delegations from countries participating in the upcoming UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Brazil have generally agreed on the need to strengthen multilateralism, according to André Corrêa do Lago, Secretary of Climate, Energy, and Environment at the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and COP30 President, on Monday.

“There was clear support for the desire to strengthen multilateralism – everyone was talking about it,” he said at a press conference here during a preparatory meeting ahead of COP30.

"A great deal of attention was also paid to adaptation—from wealthy countries to small islands and middle-income countries. There is a general consensus," said A. Corrêa do Lago, noting that the participation of Brazilian Finance Minister Fernando Haddad in the meeting demonstrates the growing economic importance of climate issues.

He said the preparatory discussions were aimed at “avoiding any obstruction by any attempt to add issues not on the agenda.”

Brazil hopes all countries will participate in COP30, which will take place in November in Belém, said A. Corrêa do Lago. He noted that Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva made it clear that it will be an open conference to which everyone is invited.
