BELÉM, Brazil — A final, yet-to-be-agreed-on text for the U.N. climate summit would call on nations to take marginal steps toward combating climate change — but fails to substantially commit to new efforts to ditch the fossil fuels that cause it, according to a copy of the text seen by POLITICO.

Such an outcome would be a disappointment for European countries and low-lying Pacific island nations that had urged the COP30 talks to end with a call for accelerating the world’s shift away from coal, oil and natural gas.

The deal could win approval at a session scheduled for Saturday morning.

The draft text, confirmed by one person close to the talks, did salvage a passing reference to a 2023 agreement to transition away from fossil fuels — while not mentioning the fuels themselves. Oil-rich Arab countries had fought to exorcise that deal from the record of climate talks.

The person was granted anonymity in order to discuss the details of the draft deal.

The proposal would also set up a meeting next year “to exchange experiences and views on related matters” — an oblique reference to a proposed post-fossil-fuel roadmap.

The deal also agreed to a tripling of funding to help poorer countries adapt to the painful effects of climate change by 2035. That’s more than wealthy governments had said they were willing to agree to in the negotiations, but poorer countries that had sought a 2030 timeline have decried it as wholly inadequate in the face of devastating droughts, floods and fires driven by the superheated climate.

In addition, the text sets up a series of meetings to discuss trade issues, which could be uncomfortable for European countries that have introduced carbon trade barriers, to the anger of major emerging economies.

The COP30 talks, which have been running for almost two weeks, have struggled to shake off the shadow of Washington’s withdrawal from the 2015 Paris climate agreement. The Trump administration did not send delegates to the talks and is universally expected to reject any outcome.

That meant highly contentious discussions were held in the absence of the world’s largest economy and a frequent broker at these annual summits.

The talks had been scheduled to end Friday but spilled into Saturday, for potentially one final day in this port city near the mouth of the Amazon.
