COP30 CEO Calls for 'Realistic' Expectations for UN Climate Talks
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The CEO for this year's COP30 climate talks in Brazil used an appearance at a Newsweek London Climate Action Week event to manage expectations for the highly anticipated United Nations gathering in her country in November. "We need to be realistic [about] where the geopolitics are at the moment, and the geopolitics are definitely not helping," COP30 CEO Ana Toni said in a Climate Conversation interview last week produced by Newsweek and partners at Hi Impact and London Climate Action Week. "We have several military wars, unfortunately, we have trade wars happening." Brazil will host COP30 in Belém, the capital of the state of Pará, at the mouth of the Amazon River. It will be the first UN climate negotiations convened in the Amazon, highlighting the connections between climate change and nature conservation. The talks also mark the 10th anniversary of the landmark Paris Climate Agreement and countries in the agreement are due to update their national plans for meeting greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets.

COP30 CEO Ana Toni in a Newsweek "Climate Conversation" interview during London Climate Action Week. Courtesy of Hi Impact Despite strong global growth in renewable energy, EVs and other clean technologies, global emissions have reached a record high, and scientists documented that the past two years were the world's warmest on record. That combination of factors makes COP30 an especially urgent gathering. However, the global political atmosphere does not bode well for climate progress, Toni said. In addition to wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, President Donald Trump has imposed steep tariffs against major trade partners around the world, undermining other multilateral talks. Trump is also undoing federal policy on climate change and announced that the U.S. will withdraw from the Paris agreement, as he did in 2017 during his first term as President. Toni cautioned against hopes for a dramatic outcome from Belém. "I know there is a lot of temptation to imagine that any one meeting will solve our problems, unfortunately this is not the case," she said. "The work will not finish at COP30, it's just a very important moment." Toni is the national secretary for Climate Change at Brazil's Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva announced in January that she will be CEO of the COP30 talks along with André Corrêa do Lago, secretary for climate, who will be COP30 president. The host nation officials for UN climate talks typically play an important role in setting the agenda for the event and guiding negotiations toward a final agreement. She said she wants the Belém gathering to promote efforts to finance nature conservation and nature-based climate solutions. "We need to talk much more about nature finance," she said. "We talk very little about how the financial sector, the private sector, can help with that preservation." Toni said COP30 will also focus on the important role cities have to both reduce emissions and adapt to the growing impacts of climate change. "When we are getting into implementation, the topics, perhaps they are less flashy, but they are perhaps more important," she said. "Many people are suffering heat waves, fires, flooding." Newsweek's Climate Conversation also featured interviews with climate policy leader Jennifer Morgan and noted climate scientist Jim Skea. Morgan, the special envoy for international climate action for Germany's Federal Foreign Office, echoed Toni's call for greater attention to climate adaptation and the effects of climate-driven extreme weather events. "The costs are just extraordinary," Morgan said, noting that Germany's central bank is documenting the costs to GDP from climate change. "I don't think it's right to have a certain group of wealthy fossil actors have the power to destroy the earth, to make the lives of poor people and vulnerable people much worse." While costs from climate impacts are growing, so are the global investments in clean energy solutions. According to the International Energy Agency, global energy investment this year will hit a record $3.3 trillion, and clean energy and electrification projects are drawing twice the investment of fossil fuels. Sir Jim Skea, a professor emeritus at Imperial College London, chairs the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Skea said the surging investment in clean technology comes as the costs of renewable energy and energy storage are rapidly falling. "In many parts of the world it is now cheaper to produce electricity from wind and solar than it is from fossil fuels," Skea said. "When the financial incentives and the moral incentives—you know, reducing emissions—go in the same direction it is a very, very powerful message."

Merck & Co. (MRK) Announces that US FDA Approves ENFLONSIA™ For Preventing RSV Lower Respiratory Tract Disease
Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE:MRK) is one of the 10 Best Value Stocks to Buy According to Billionaires. The company announced that the US FDA approved ENFLONSIA™ (clesrovimab-cfor) for the prevention of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) lower respiratory tract disease in neonates (newborns) and infants who were born during or entering their first RSV season. To provide a brief context, ENFLONSIA happens to be a preventive, long-acting monoclonal antibody (mAb) which has been designed to offer direct, rapid, and durable protection through 5 months, a typical RSV season, with the same 105 mg dose irrespective of weight. Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE:MRK) further mentioned that the typical RSV season generally spans autumn to spring of the next year. A close-up of a person's hand holding a bottle of pharmaceuticals. However, ENFLONSIA should not be administered to infants who have a history of serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, to any of the components of ENFLONSIA. Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE:MRK) added that the approval is basis the results from the pivotal Phase 2b/3 CLEVER trial (MK-1654-004) evaluating a single dose of ENFLONSIA administered to preterm and full-term infants. Furthermore, the focus is to ensure the availability of ENFLONSIA in the US before the upcoming RSV season begins. This is to help in reducing the significant burden of the widespread seasonal infection on families and health care systems. Artisan Partners, an investment management company, released its Q1 2025 investor letter. Here is what the fund said: 'Shares of Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE:MRK), a health care solutions company, were down 9%. Operating results have been solid, with Q4 earnings beating expectations, but investors were more focused on the continued weak demand in China for Gardasil, a vaccine for human papillomavirus (HPV), and the company's decision to pause vaccine shipments through at least mid-2025 to pare inventories. Though recent Gardasil setbacks have weighed on sentiment, the overarching issue for shareholders remains the success of Merck's late-stage pipeline to replace sales that will be lost when blockbuster oncology drug Keytruda (50% of Q4sales) comes off patent in 2028. As shares sell cheaply at just 10X earnings, Merck seems to be getting little credit from investors for the 60+ programs it has in clinical development, despite having several solid and large new product opportunities. Additionally, the company's strong balance sheet and robust free cash flow provide it multiple options for future partnerships and acquisitions, besides return of capital to shareholders via dividends and share repurchases.'

Bourbon maker J Mattingly 1845 bought by private-equity group
Kentucky-based Bourbon producer J Mattingly 1845 is set to be acquired by private- equity group Gold Corn & Co. The deal will see founder Jeff Mattingly selling 100% of his equity ownership to private equity group Gold Corn & Co., led by Andrew Varga, and Carl Cordova . Financial details of the deal were not disclosed. The transaction is slated for completion within the next few months, with financial terms remaining undisclosed, according to a statement from the distiller. The move follows Gold Corn's investment in the whiskey maker two years ago, J Mattingly 1845 confirmed to Just Drinks. The size of the stake was not disclosed. When asked to describe the specific growth strategies Gold Corn & Co. has for J Mattingly, the latter said its new owner was 'always looking to expand distribution into other states". Based in Frankfort, Kentucky, J Mattingly 1845 was set up in 2010 by husband and wife Jeff and Melissa Mattingly. The company sells to several states in retail, and to 46 online. J Mattingly told Just Drinks said that Gold Corn also "plans to continue to offer unique whiskies using their trademarked double-staving process, which adds additional charred oak staves to each barrel for additional flavouring'. Cameron Mattingly, son of Jeff Mattingly and vice president of production at the distiller, will continue to manage Bourbon production, blending, and the distillery's signature double-staving process, with all existing employees retaining their roles. Commenting on the news, Jeff Mattingly said: 'Melissa and I have been proud to lead our great team for the last 15 years in building one of the most unique enterprises in bourbon distilling. "We welcome Gold Corn & Co, Andrew Varga, and Carl Cordova to continue on with the Mattingly brand and continue their philanthropy working with veterans and first responders.' The US spirits sector has seen a series of ownership changes in recent months. Middle West Spirits acquired US distiller Old Elk Distillery in May to expand its presence in the market. Middle West stated that the acquisition adds 'nationally recognised craftsmanship' to its portfolio, which includes whiskey, vodka, and gin. Also in May, Scotland's Loch Lomond Group acquired The New York Distilling Company (NYDC), with plans to invest in distillation and production at NYDC's Brooklyn facility. In April, Westward Whiskey, a US single-malt distiller, filed for Chapter 11 protection in Delaware. CEO Thomas Mooney said at the time the move was "a necessary step as we explore financial and strategic alternatives to better position our company to thrive as an independent craft distiller.'
