Conservative groups urge U.S. boycott of UN climate summit
A coalition of seven conservative energy and environmental organizations sent a letter to three senior Trump administration officials — Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin and Energy Secretary Chris Wright — urging them to refuse to send a U.S. delegation to the U.N. Climate Change Conference (COP‑30) in Brazil, set for Nov. 10–21, 2025. The groups, including the Heartland Institute and CO2 Coalition, argue the conferences harm U.S. economic and energy interests and cite President Trump’s public denunciation of climate alarmism.
