LONDON — The British government is divided over whether to stump up the cash for a flagship environmental pledge meant to protect tropical forests, jeopardizing a potential announcement by Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the COP30 U.N. climate summit in Brazil.
Starmer confirmed last week he would be attending the COP30 leaders’ summit in the Amazon city of Belém next month. The meeting will be hosted by Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, a close ally of the U.K. prime minister.
