The United Nations’ annual climate summit ended with a compromise in overtime on Saturday.
[/td][td]
World leaders from nearly 200 countries gathered for COP30 on the outskirts of the Amazon in Brazil to discuss “the efforts needed to limit the global temperature.” No official U.S. delegation was sent—President Trump has called climate change a “hoax,” and the White House warned that “vague climate goals” put America at an economic and security disadvantage.
[/td][td]
After 13 days of negotiations, delegates’ final agreement tripled funds to help vulnerable countries adapt to climate change, but pressure from oil-rich Arab nations kept out any mention of fossil fuels.
[/td][td]
Amid disappointment from some world leaders, Brazil promised to create its own “roadmap” for ditching fossil fuels and reversing deforestation.

Our world is full of panic and anger surrounding climate change. In the midst of the noise, remember your calling: good stewardship of God’s creation and gracious conversation with everyone—even those who passionately disagree with you about the world’s way forward.

“My dear brothers and sisters, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, for human anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness.”
