<\/p>\nCOP30 started surprisingly smoothly on Monday, with the Brazilian presidency averting a fight over the agenda by setting aside discussions on four contentious issues: finance from rich countries, trade measures, boosting emissions-cutting ambition in line with 1.5C, and transparency of national climate data.<\/p>\n
Since then, countries have engaged in a total of seven hours worth of consultations, which Brazilian officials described as \u201cconstructive\u201d.<\/p>\n
Yet in a plenary session that lasted less than 10 minutes, COP30 president Andr\u00e9 Correa do Lago said parties need more time to unlock talks. The four items will remain deadlocked until Saturday, when a new stocktaking plenary is scheduled.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a very complex process,\u201d said Tulio Andrade, COP30 director of strategy. \u201cOn Sunday, when we were finalising the agenda consultations, we had parties very far from one another. What we\u2019re seeing is a movement where they\u2019re getting closer.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been having, especially due to geopolitical difficulties, quite a divisive house for a long time. What we\u2019re seeing now is a healthy dialogue like we haven\u2019t seen in a long, long time,\u201d Andrade added at a press conference in Bel\u00e9m.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
EU negotiator Jacob Werksman said that the challenge at this COP is that, while science says<\/a> climate plans need to cut emissions faster, \u201cthere is no particular agenda item\u201d to address the gap in ambition in current climate plans, which is why the EU wants an agenda item on this.<\/p>\n \u201cWe think that the conversations that we\u2019ve been having for the past couple of days are beginning to build some bridges. We\u2019re definitely not there yet, we\u2019re just two days into COP. But there will be a few more efforts as we connect today,\u201d he told a press conference in Bel\u00e9m, adding that there are still questions on how these thorny issues will be taken forward by Brazil.<\/p>\n India \u2013 which left last year\u2019s COP29 furious when a new $300bn finance goal was agreed without their support \u2013 would be open to discuss more ambitious NDCs only if finance is tackled, another delegate in the room told Climate Home News. Andrade said India is \u201cvery engaged\u201d in the process and \u201cpresenting collaborative solutions\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n Unilateral trade measures could be another controversial issue proposed by China and other emerging economies. The EU \u2013 which is implementing its own carbon border tax \u2013 said they were prepared to talk about trade but only \u201cwithout prejudice\u201d and added that they don\u2019t want disputes that belong in the World Trade Organisation (WTO) to be discussed at COP.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is the question on how do we take these four agenda items and convert them into decision texts, which is something that the Brazilian presidency has been honestly trying to achieve,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n One observer with access to behind-closed-door negotiations said the postponement until Saturday is \u201ca bit alarming\u201d and could delay work. It remains unclear if the proposed initiatives would be discussed in a cover decision \u2013 a general text proposed by the COP presidency \u2013 or in any of the established negotiating tracks.<\/p>\n Agreeing on a cover decision could get tricky, as the four proposed agenda items don\u2019t mention adaptation, loss and damage or \u201cany of the other issues that tend to make a balanced package,\u201d Werksman said.<\/p>\n Still, COP30 president Andr\u00e9 Correa do Lago said he hoped to have good news by the end of the stocktaking plenary. \u201cI hope we can show that the consultations have been extremely constructive,\u201d he said at a press conference.<\/p>\n COP30 president dismisses suggestion for fossil fuel roadmap<\/p>\n Brazil\u2019s president Lula opened talks in Bel\u00e9m with the unexpected suggestion<\/a> that delegates discuss a roadmap to transition away from fossil fuels and to halt deforestation. But Brazilian officials have now dismissed the idea.<\/p>\n COP30 president Andr\u00e9 Correa do Lago told a press conference today that the proposed roadmap \u201cis not an agenda item and it is not at the moment anything that was raised during the COP.\u201d<\/p>\n The country\u2019s NDC<\/a> climate plan \u2013 published a year ago at COP29 \u2013 says that it \u201cwould welcome the launching of international work for the definition of schedules for transitioning away from fossil fuels\u201d. Correa do Lago said that this commitment is what Lula referred to.<\/p>\n \u201cBrazil would participate in this kind of discussion,\u201d he said. \u201cPresident Lula very clearly put this subject at the centre of his concerns regarding COP30 because it is something that we have in agreement inside Brazil and we put that in our NDC.\u201d<\/p>\n The South American country is planning a major expansion of oil and gas<\/a> in the next decade, and it controversially awarded <\/a>a drilling permit in the sea 540 kilometres from the mouth of the Amazon river to state-owned Petrobras just days before COP30.<\/p>\n However, the country\u2019s environment minister Marina Silva also floated the idea<\/a> for a fossil fuel transition roadmap earlier in June, arguing that \u201cthe worst possible thing would be for us to not plan for this transition\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n Observers told Climate Home that some countries have submitted proposals to discuss such a planned roadmap, with oil-producing governments pushing back with procedural arguments.<\/p>\n Neighbouring Colombia is one of the countries who have championed the idea, and even announced they would host <\/a>the first International Conference for the Phase-Out of Fossil Fuels in April 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n Developing countries want just energy transition mechanism<\/p>\n Campaigners have hailed victory after a group of 134 developing countries \u2013 known as the G77 \u2013 and China called for the creation of a just transition mechanism to follow through on talks to ensure the shift from fossil fuels to clean energy is fair to workers, protects nature and fosters social justice beyond COP30.<\/p>\n The G77 and China constitute the largest negotiation block in the UN climate talks.<\/p>\n The group said the mechanism could include technical assistance, promote international cooperation and foster new partnerships to help countries accelerate the move away from coal, oil and gas to cleaner energy systems in a way that is fair. COP30 could agree to develop a mechanism in 2026 for adoption at COP31 next year, the group said.<\/p>\n Anabella Rosemberg, a senior advisor on just transition at Climate Action Network, described the move as \u201ca breakthrough\u201d.<\/p>\n Campaigners have made the creation of a Bel\u00e9m Action Mechanism core to their demands at COP30. They argue that such a framework would help bring coherence to a fragmented landscape of just transition initiatives and provide countries with the knowledge and support they need to ensure that the shift to renewable energy doesn\u2019t leave fossil fuel workers behind and promotes sustainable development.<\/p>\n But some developed countries, including Norway and the UK, have opposed creating yet another institution in the UN climate architecture, arguing that such efforts take time and money, which are in short supply.<\/p>\n Rosemberg said the European Union, Australia and Switzerland also argued that creating a new mechanism would duplicate existing arrangements \u2013 concerns which, she said, were \u201csolvable if parties are committed to make just transition happen\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cEvery single party is saying that\u2026 just transition is critical, but they cannot just say that and then do nothing about it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u2026while rich nations join just mineral supply chain push<\/p>\n Negotiations on the Just Transition Work Programme (JTWP) also saw the UK propose language on the importance of fair, transparent, traceable and environmentally sustainable mineral supply chains for the energy transition.<\/p>\n The UK noted the need for community consultation and local value addition \u2013 where minerals are processed near to where they are mined, creating jobs and generating taxes locally. The proposal was backed by Australia and the European Union, making it the first time developed countries have shown formal support for including minerals in the negotiations, according to observers in the room.<\/p>\n Burkina Faso (on behalf of the Least Developed Countries), Uganda and South Africa echoed their support for including minerals in the text. Developing countries have previously called for the JTWP to address the impacts and benefits of mining for the energy transition.<\/p>\n Last week, Brazil\u2019s President Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva told leaders gathered in Bel\u00e9m that it is \u201cimpossible to discuss the energy transition without talking about critical minerals, essential to make batteries, solar panels and energy systems\u201d.<\/p>\n Momentum grows for new adaptation finance goal<\/p>\n Developing nations are increasingly rallying behind a proposal \u2013 first put forward by the group of Least Developed Countries (LDCs) for a new goal to triple adaptation finance to about $120 billion a year by 2030.<\/p>\n If agreed, that would replace a pledge made by developed countries at COP26 four years ago to double adaptation funding for developing nations by 2025. That promise is set to be broken as governments cut overseas spending amid mounting geopolitical tensions and domestic fiscal pressures.<\/p>\n Lina Yassin, an adaptation negotiator from Sudan, which is part of the LDC group, told Climate Home News that the proposal has received \u201cpositive signals\u201d from many members of the G77 group of developing countries.<\/p>\n \u201cAll developing countries agree that scaling up adaptation finance is critical and a successful \u2018Adaptation COP\u2019 must deliver a renewed commitment on this front,\u201d she added. \u201cThe GGA indicators are important tools, but without finance, the GGA framework cannot be implemented\u201d.<\/p>\n But many developed countries, including the EU, remain opposed to a new adaptation finance commitment, observers said, seeing that as a way to reopen negotiations over a new UN climate finance goal (NCQG) that was agreed at COP29 last year.<\/p>\n Maria Samuelsen, chief negotiator for Denmark, which holds the EU\u2019s rotating presidency, said at a press conference today that there is recognition in the NCQG to do more to enhance finance for adaptation, which she described as a priority for the EU. \u201cThe NCQG was just agreed last year and there is a lot of work to do on making progress on that,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n IEA: \u201cAge of electricity\u201d is here<\/p>\n In Paris this morning, the International Energy Agency released its annual World Energy Outlook report<\/a>, modelling trends in energy supply and demand under various scenarios.\u00a0<\/p>\n This year, after pressure from the Trump administration, the agency introduced\u00a0 a \u201cCurrent Policies Scenario\u201d (CPS) alongside\u00a0 its usual \u201cStated Policies Scenario\u201d (SPS) and 1.5C-aligned Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario.<\/p>\n The CPS sees oil and gas demand continuing to rise until at least 2050 \u2013 which is why the US wanted it included. The IEA describes that\u00a0 as \u201ccautious\u201d and \u201canchored in enacted laws and measures\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n It attracted headlines with its apocalyptic predictions. But Ember\u2019s chief analyst Dave Jones said the CPS is \u201cbehind the curve of technology change\u201d, and E3G\u2019s Maria Pastukhova said it only suits a few fossil fuel-producing countries.<\/p>\n The changes between last year\u2019s and this year\u2019s SPS \u2013 which European Climate Foundation CEO called the IEA\u2019s \u201cmain scenario\u201d and the IEA calls \u201ca dynamic reading of today\u2019s policy settings\u201d \u2013 shed light on developments over the last twelve months.<\/p>\n This year\u2019s SPS models that electricity demand growth will be greater than thought a year ago, due partly to more American data centres and air conditioners in the Arab world.<\/p>\n On the one hand, oil demand will be boosted by Trump\u2019s removal of incentives for Americans to buy electric vehicles. On the other, electric vehicle uptake in the developing world \u2013 even outside of China \u2013 is expected to grow faster than thought last year.<\/p>\n Coal will stick around for longer than thought in China, as grid integration problems slow down the roll-out of renewables. And there will be more gas for transport \u2013 like CNG cars and LNG ships \u2013 and for electricity, than previously modelled.<\/p>\n Stepping away from the year-on-year changes, the big picture is that renewables are set to grow faster than fossil fuels \u2013 even under Trump\u2019s favoured scenario. The head of the IEA Fatih Birol told an online press conference<\/a> that the \u201cage of electricity\u201d is here.<\/p>\n In Bel\u00e9m, Rachel Cleetus from the Union of Concerned Scientists told journalists that the growth of renewables is \u201cextraordinary\u201d but must be matched by \u201ca fast, fair phase-out of fossil fuels\u201d.<\/p>\n UN-backed roadmap guides PR firms to drop fossil fuel clients<\/p>\n A year after UN chief Ant\u00f3nio Guterres called on PR firms to cut ties with fossil fuel clients and \u201cstop acting as enablers of planetary destruction,\u201d a first roadmap outlining how they can do so has emerged at COP30.<\/p>\n The blueprint <\/a>\u2013 designed by a group of advertising and climate experts and backed by the UN \u2013 sets out \u201cfive levers\u201d that PR agencies can pull to wean themselves off fossil fuel companies in a \u201ccommercially viable and legally compliant\u201d way.\u00a0<\/p>\n Advertising agencies first need to identify how much of their revenue depends on fossil fuel clients and work with their legal team to devise a sound phase-out plan that respects contractual obligations. With that in hand, executives can reassure their board members to secure their backing and support staff through the transition. Finally, they can write a fossil fuel policy and integrate it into the agency\u2019s daily work.\u00a0<\/p>\n The goal is to reach the end of a fossil fuel contract with its revenue already replaced so the agency can let it expire without disruption, and turn down new fossil fuel work with confidence, the roadmap document explains.\u00a0<\/p>\n Florencia Lujan, co-founder of ACT Climate Labs which developed the blueprint, said phasing out fossil fuel work makes business sense for ad agencies that should reduce risky exposure to the industry amid blowbacks from regulators and the public. She added that by taking on fossil fuel clients, agencies are working against the long-term interests of many of their other clients, like food producers who are impacted by climate change.\u00a0<\/p>\n While oil and gas account for less than 0.7% of the $1.08T global ad market, a handful of the world\u2019s largest agencies take on the lion\u2019s share of fossil fuel work, the report found.\u00a0<\/p>\n Edelman \u2013 which provides media services to the COP30 presidency<\/a> \u2013 earns an estimated 5.6% of its revenue from fossil fuel clients, including Shell and Chevron, a significantly higher share than any of its competitors, according to analysis<\/a> by Clean Creatives.\u00a0<\/p>\n Selwin Hart, special adviser to the UN Secretary General on climate action, said the blueprint is a \u201cconstructive and substantive answer\u201d to Guterres\u2019 call to action, while providing evidence that transitioning away from fossil fuels is \u201can immense commercial opportunity that benefits all\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n Indigenous people sailed to make their demands heard<\/p>\n A flotilla with dozens of boats sailed the Guajar\u00e1 Bay \u2013 in the Amazon River Delta- this morning, marking the start of the People\u2019s Summit, a civil society event parallel to COP30.<\/p>\n The press call said that the main goal of the event was to denounce false climate solutions, but in reality, it was much more than that. The slogans varied from \u201cagriculture passes, destruction stays\u201d and \u201cwe are the climate resistance\u201d to \u201cfree Palestine\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n It was mostly an Indigenous Peoples\u2019 action demanding access to the COP30 negotiating rooms. But the group supporting it was so diverse that it included fishermen, campaigners from as far as India and even friars.\u00a0<\/p>\n One of the main boats in the flotilla was a vessel named \u2018Caravan of the Response,\u2019 a nod to the \u2018we are the response\u2019 slogan from Indigenous peoples and had been sailing for a week, having started 3,000 kilometres inland in Sinop, Mato Grosso.<\/p>\n On one side, the boat had a Brazilian flag. On the front, a banner that read \u2018o agro n\u00e3o enche prato\u2019 (agribusiness doesn\u2019t fill your plate), denouncing that agribusiness in their land focuses on export production, without supplying for local communities.<\/p>\n The main banner on the inside was protesting the Ferrogr\u00e3o, a railway that would connect Sinop to Bel\u00e9m\u2019s state of Par\u00e1, and that has been halted since 2021 due to its possible environmental impacts.<\/p>\n Inside the boat, on the first floor, there was music, dancing, and traditional Indigenous food for sale by a group that raises money for rural working women in the Amazon. The top floors were full of hammocks reserved for the people who did the trip from Sinop.\u00a0<\/p>\n The flotilla sailed for about an hour and then stopped at Vila da Barca, an indigenous community on stilts along the banks of the Guajar\u00e1 Bay that received sewage and debris from one of the COP30 construction projects.<\/a><\/p>\n After returning to the port, the event ended with a press conference led by Chief Raoni Metuktire, an Indigenous leader who was recently awarded the highest decoration of Brazilian diplomacy by President Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva for his decades of climate activism.<\/p>\n He started his participation by saying, \u201cI\u2019ve been telling you for a long time that we shouldn\u2019t have these bad problems,\u201d referring to the droughts in the Amazon (last year\u2019s was the worst in 45 years, according to government data<\/a>) and the heatwaves affecting the rainforest, which have made its lakes reach temperatures over 41 degrees, according to one recent study.<\/a><\/p>\n Raoni also talked about the recent licenses Lula gave to Petrobras<\/a> to explore oil off the Amazon coast, saying that projects like that could cause severe problems for the world, \u201cfirst us, the Indigenous Peoples, but also all of you, all of us will have environmental problems.\u201d<\/p>\n This demonstration happened one day after protesters clashed with security guards as they attempted to force their way into the COP30 conference centre. When asked about that, Indigenous people said that they didn\u2019t organise it, but weren\u2019t necessarily against it.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB) said in a statement that while they did not coordinate that activity, they reiterate their support for the right to protest and their demand for Indigenous Peoples to be part of the COP30 negotiations.<\/p>\n Protesters break into summit venue, clashing with security<\/p>\n About 9pm on Tuesday night, a group of protesters clashed with security guards as they attempted to force their way into the COP30 conference centre \u2013 making headlines and news bulletins around the world.<\/p>\n Videos captured dozens of mostly Indigenous demonstrators pushing through the main entrance, rushing past metal detectors, and demanding entry to the area where climate negotiators were meeting.<\/p>\n As UN security guards scrambled to stop them, scuffles broke out before the protesters were forcibly removed. A UN climate spokesperson said two security guards suffered minor injuries, and there was minor damage to the venue. One guard with a small cut told Reuters<\/a> he was hit by a thrown drumstick.<\/p>\n Some of the protesters carried signs saying \u201cour forest is not for sale\u201d or demanding a halt to oil drilling in the Amazon rainforest.<\/p>\n \u201cWe can\u2019t eat money,\u201d Nato, an Indigenous leader from the Tupinamba community, told Reuters. \u201cWe want our lands free from agribusiness, oil exploration, illegal miners and illegal loggers.\u201d<\/p>\n Brazil, the host nation of COP30, has underlined the importance of ensuring Indigenous communities have a voice in this year\u2019s climate negotiations and there has been a record turnout of Indigenous groups in the city of Bel\u00e9m.<\/p>\n But, according to InfoAmazonia<\/a>, Indigenous people are frustrated that more did not receive accreditation for the COP30 venue. Their analysis suggests 360 received accreditation. The Brazilian government says that\u2019s more than any previous COP. But it\u2019s only a small fraction of the 56,000 people registered to attend this year\u2019s UN climate talks.<\/p>\n Lucas Tupinamb\u00e1, a young leader from the Tapaj\u00f3s-Arapiuns Indigenous council, attended Tuesday\u2019s plenary session after travelling for two days by boat to reach Bel\u00e9m. In his speech, he denounced the presence of dredgers extracting minerals in his region, but he told InfoAmazonia that \u201cthey are not interested in hearing from those who truly need to be heard\u201d.<\/p>\n The Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB), the country\u2019s leading Indigenous organisation, wants a strong outcome from COP30 on land demarcation to legally protect their land rights, which are threatened by loggers, agribusinesses and miners.<\/p>\n \u201cOur core message is that demarcation and territorial protection are policies for facing the climate emergency. This needs not just to be acknowledged, but also implemented by global leaders\u2014and in our case, above all, by Brazil,\u201d Kleber Karipuna, APIB\u2019s executive coordinator, told InfoAmazonia.<\/p>\n Could vote break COP31 deadlock?<\/p>\n While we found out yesterday<\/a> where COP32 will be \u2013 Ethiopia\u2019s capital Addis Ababa \u2013 we still don\u2019t know whether next year\u2019s COP31 talks will be in Australia\u2019s Adelaide or Turkiye\u2019s Antalya.<\/p>\n Such decisions have always been made by consensus within the relevant regional group \u2013 in this case, the geographically diverse Western Europe and Others group. But, with both Turkiye and Australia refusing to backdown, consensus has yet to be reached.\u00a0<\/p>\n Joanna Depledge, a COP historian and research fellow at the University of Cambridge, told Climate Home News that it may be possible to break this deadlock through a vote of all countries at this COP \u2013 or at least the threat of one.<\/p>\n She noted that, while\u00a0 the UN\u2019s climate convention (UNFCCC) lacks a formal voting rule for taking substantive decisions, the rules of procedure applied at each COP since 1996 (including COP30) appear to allow for majority secret ballot voting for the election of officers \u2013 including COP Presidents.<\/p>\n She added this is because the rules for elections (rules 51 and 52 specifically<\/a>) are set out in a separate part to the disputed rule on substantive issues (rule 42<\/a>).<\/p>\n \u201cThese rules have never been tested, but even raising the possibility of a COP vote could focus minds,\u201d Depledge said. She noted that \u2013 although the rules are slightly different under the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) \u2013 a dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia over who should host the CBD COP next year was resolved in Armenia\u2019s favour with a majority vote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"COP30 started surprisingly smoothly on Monday, with the Brazilian presidency averting a fight over the agenda by setting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":260161,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1397,90,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-260160","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-environment","tag-science","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260160","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260160"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260160\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/260161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/54917840208_b3d2639e9f_c.jpg\")
