At United Nations climate talks on Monday, professional negotiators will be stepping aside to make way for higher ranking government ministers to take charge and make the tougher and political decisions during the conference's second and final week.
The climate negotiations, called COP30, taking place on edge of the Brazilian Amazon, resume after a rest day with foreign and other ministers arriving and scheduled to speak. They will then negotiate with far more power and leeway than those who have been doing the bargaining thus far.
