World leaders gather in Brazil ahead of global climate summit

World leaders are gathering in Brazil for the COP30 climate conference. Meetings will take place on November 6 and 7, while the official program starts on November 10. Around 50 heads of state expected to attend, with one notable absence: US President Donald Trump, a climate change denier, is skipping the event. NGOs and protest groups are also gathering ahead of the conference, hoping to apply pressure to the attending dignitaries.
