BRUSSELS — The European Union will “think twice” before considering backing weak agreements at COP climate summits in the future, a Polish negotiator has warned.
At this year’s COP30 climate conference in Brazil, the EU struggled to find allies to push for more ambitious climate action and at one point threatened to walk away without signing a deal.
The United States, its historical partner, was notably absent from the meeting.

That’s a lesson learned, according to Katarzyna Wrona, Poland’s negotiator in the talks, who was also part of the EU’s delegation at the summit.
