"In past conference cities — including resort areas and playgrounds for the rich such as Bali, Cancun, Paris, Sharm El-Sheikh and Dubai — host nations show off both their amenities and what their communities have done about climate change.
But this fall’s conference is in a high-poverty city on the edge of the Amazon to demonstrate what needs to be done, said the diplomat who will run the mega-negotiations in Belem known as #COP30 or Conference of Parties."

" “The truth is that we have failed to avoid an overshooting above 1.5C in the next few years. And that going above 1.5C has devastating consequences.”
[António Guterres] did not give up on the target though, and said it may still be possible to temporarily overshoot and then bring temperatures down in time to return to 1.5C by the end of the century, but this would require a change of direction at and beyond #COP30."

"Prabowo backed a Brazilian-initiated forest finance scheme, the Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF). The initiative aims to raise US$125 billion, with 80% sourced from capital market investors and 20% from wealthy nation donors. The fund’s financial structure is ambitious, with a target return 7.5%, which is disbursed to forest-owning countries meeting specific deforestation reduction criteria. The TFFF is scheduled for an official launch at COP30."

"More than 60 countries have so far submitted national plans on greenhouse gas emissions to the UN, setting out how they will curb carbon for the next decade.
Taken together, these plans would cut carbon by only about 10% by 2035 compared with 2019 levels. This is only about a sixth of the drop in global emissions needed to limit global heating to 1.5C."

"The calculation marked the first time the UNFCCC has forecast a steady decline in global emissions, which have consistently increased since 1990.
The projected 10% cut is far short of the 60% emissions drop needed by 2035 to limit global warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial temperatures."
Still awaiting many countries' NDCs, including Europe's.

"Hundreds of environmental and human rights groups have urged #COP30 to confront the historical roots of the climate crisis, and put reparations on the agenda.
The letter argues that historical crimes, such as enslavement and colonialism, created global inequalities in resource access, drove asymmetrical contributions to emissions, increased vulnerability to disasters, and continue to exclude many from climate decision-making."

"Below are five key issues being negotiated in the lead-up to Belém
– Stronger national climate plans with clearer investment pathways
– Mobilizing trillions for climate action in developing countries
– Incentivizing sustainable and climate-aligned investment
– Finalizing the rules for a UN-backed global carbon market
– Coordinating fair and inclusive transitions"

Why climate summits fail – and three ways to save them
"Reforms that go beyond current blanket consensus are necessary.
Second, it is necessary to streamline the chaotic array of climate-related financial instruments.
Third, we absolutely need to change the format of Cop itself."
