The United States, China and India will be skipping for the most part the gathering as the global momentum to fight climate change recedes, leaving the European Union almost alone in its efforts to assist developing nations looking for technology and financial resources to combat the impact of climate change.

For Europe, it is a delicate balancing act as it tries to stay engaged and make good on its climate pledges but also facing a fast-changing set of priorities at home as the focus turns to rearming and boosting defense capabilities. Meanwhile, the US, China and India are turning their efforts to bolster national industrial capacities and their domestic agenda.

Chinese President Xi Jinping won’t attend COP30, but his Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang will represent Beijing while India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi delegated the country’s representation to its Ambassador to Brazil, Dinesh Bhatia.
