World leaders gather in Brazil for UN climate talks, seeking action on global warming

World leaders convene in Brazil for UN climate talks, aiming for action over promises after 30 years of slow progress on global warming. This year's conference, dubbed the "implementation COP," focuses on putting existing climate pledges into practice, with a particular emphasis on funding forest preservation and adaptation strategies. The talks are being held in Belem, near the Amazon rainforest, a location intended to increase accountability for nations, especially major polluters like China, the U.S., and India, who are largely absent from initial high-level meetings.
