‘Great Friend of the Climate Agenda’: Brazil Applauds Newsom at COP30 | APT

California Governor Gavin Newsom received high praise at COP30 as Brazil’s Environment Minister hailed him as "a great friend of the climate agenda" during a brief meeting at the summit.

Newsom, who has drawn global attention for his climate policies and outspoken criticism of President Donald Trump, has made multiple appearances at the high-profile event in Belém, Brazil, representing the United States.

The California governor held bilateral meetings with Colombian and Chilean delegates and was later seen walking with UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell at the summit venue.

Newsom’s presence drew cheers from environmental activists and delegates alike, many citing California’s aggressive clean energy and carbon neutrality goals as a global model.
