THE United Arab Emirates, Azerbaijan and Brazil joined forces today to push for an international agreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

The three nations are the former and future hosts of the United Nations climate summits.

Sultan Al Jaber, Emirati president of last year’s Cop28 negotiations, said it would form a “troika” to focus on ensuring that more ambitious CO2-cutting pledges are made ahead of a deadline at the Cop30 summit to be held in 2025 in Belem, Brazil.
