Brazil and China announce a bilateral carbon market accord by COP31 in November 2026.

Brazil is exploring sales of carbon credits to China and targeting an accord at COP31 in Turkey. An official joint announcement by the end of the summit is required.

Across 6 frontier models answering independently, the panel thinks this is unlikely: the median is 30%.

They do not agree: Gemini puts it at 42% and Qwen at 11%, 31 points apart. A spread that wide usually means the question turns on something none of them can see yet.

Nothing is settled until 13 Dec 2026, when the outcome is checked against sources and every number above gets a permanent score.
