COP30
UN Climate Change Conference in Belém, Brazil
This year’s annual COP (Conference of the Parties), the highest decision-making body of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the primary multilateral forum for international climate policy, is happening for the first time in the Amazon. Conserving the ‘green lung’ of the world is crucial for efforts to keep the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global temperature increase to 1.5C. Ten years after Paris, the Brazilian Presidency promises the meeting in Belém to be an “implementation COP”. Can countries deliver the ambition needed in the new round of national climate plans due by COP30 and in mobilizing the finance needed to implement them, such as promised by a “Baku-to-Belém Roadmap to 1.3 Trillion” to be presented there? We provide an overview and analysis of the core issues facing COP30 and the future of the UNFCCC climate regime.

At COP30 in Belém in Brazil, the focus will turn to implementing the NCQG and the recommendations by the “Baku to Belém Roadmap” on how to scale up climate finance to developing countries to USD 1.3 trillion annually by 2035. The multilateral climate funds’ provision of public concessional finance, as detailed on CFU in our Climate Finance Fundamentals (CFF) series and our “10 Things” infographics, remains at the heart of these efforts. These publications are now available in Portuguese.
