BELEM, Brazil (Reuters) -The European Union would not oppose a proposed deal on the outcome of the COP30 climate talks in Brazil, two sources told Reuters.

"It's lacking in ambition, it's lacking in balance, but we won't oppose," a EU negotiator said. "Because it will provide much-needed money for adaptation to the poorest and most vulnerable."
