COP30 – The “Implementation COP” in Belém, Brazil (10–21 November 2025)
The 30th UN Climate Change Conference (COP30), held in Belém, Brazil, focuses on turning previous climate pledges into real action to keep global warming below 1.5°C. Taking place at the edge of the Amazon rainforest, it highlights the urgency of protecting nature amid accelerating climate impacts.
Key discussions center on climate finance, nature-based solutions, food system reforms, digital equity, and a just transition for workers. COP30 also reviews progress on financial commitments from COP29 and encourages nations to submit enhanced climate targets (NDCs 3.0).
Challenges include the absence of major polluters, corporate obstruction, and tensions between development and conservation in Brazil. President Lula da Silva aims to showcase Brazil as a global climate leader.
COP30’s outcomes are expected to strengthen international cooperation, secure funding for vulnerable nations, and shape global climate action toward 2030.
