United States withdraws from Global Climate Forums: shaping a doctrine of energy sovereignty

From November 10-21, 2025, the UN Climate Conference (COP30) is taking place in Brazil, to which the United States, for the first time in its 30-year history, did not send its delegation to participate in the event.

This step, which contrasts with the continuous U.S. presence at all previous climate summits, including during the first term of the Donald Trump administration, fixes Washington’s transition to a new energy doctrine.

The absence of a U.S. government delegation at COP30 in Belém, Brazil, solidifies Washington’s final shift to energy pragmatism, in which fossil resources take precedence over ecological compromise.
