Micheál Martin delivered a speech to the UN Climate Change Conference in Brazil on Thursday.

Uber driver Alberto Souza claimed he was initially offered the equivalent of €485 a day in Brazilian Reais for a fortnight's rental in his apartment in Belém

COP30 marks 10 years since the Paris Agreement, and also comes just months after two-thirds of signatories to the Paris Agreement missed a significant September deadline to publish new climate plans

Speaking to the Irish Times, Micheál Martin said: "I will be going to Cop30 in Brazil with the clear message that Ireland remains steadfast in our commitment to tackle climate change.”
