🌍 Mission Possible: What COP30 Should Deliver

COP30 in Brazil is a chance to rebuild trust, connect climate policy to real people's lives & turn pledges into action.

Planet Wreckers: The Global North Countries Fueling the Fire Since the Paris Agreement Since the Paris Agreement, 4 Global North countries — the US, Canada, Australia & Norway — blocked global progress on oil and gas phaseout.

In the 10 years since the Paris Agreement, global oil and gas production has increased more than 8%, when it should have been falling.

Four countries -US, Canada, Australia and Norway- are overwhelmingly responsible for the increase. The rest of the world has DECREASED its production since Paris.

COP30 needs an implementation forum, not another cover decision The focus in Belém should be a plan to get results on climate action in the real world rather than haggling over a political statement

"If that can be kept short, and focused, why not? But there would still be a need for an implementation forum alongside to give it credibility."

🚨 New publication! Proud to co-author this brief with Southern Transitions on the Just Transition Work Programme ahead of #COP30 🌍⚖️

We explore how JTWP can drive equitable, ambitious climate action.

COP30 president hints Brazil may be open to a cover decision in Belém André Corrêa do Lago tells Climate Home News the COP30 talks could conclude with an additional text on key outcomes if countries want it - something Brazil has so far resisted

Until recently, Brazil ruled out a cover decision at COP30. Now, its president says he’ll listen if countries want one.

Las empresas fósiles no lideran la transición energética: sólo controlan el 1,42% de los proyectos renovables - Climática, el medio especializado en clima y biodiversidad Un estudio revela que solo el 0,13% de la energía primaria que extraen las empresas fósiles es renovable. Repsol está entre ellas.

Esto es un TEMAZO del que deberíamos estar hablando más. Currazo de @edurobayna.bsky.social en @climatica.coop.

Why COP30 needs a cover decision to succeed Amid entrenched divisions in formal negotiations, a cover decision is the most credible way to confront the ambition gap head-on

I wrote for @climatechangenews.com why #COP30 needs a #coverdecision to succeed

COP30’s credibility rests on how it confronts this ambition gap. If #COP30 must respond to this ambition gap, a cover decision emerges as the most credible path forward.

TODOS los minerales que debemos extraer para la transición energética los próximos 25 AÑOS implican menos extractivismo minero que 1 SOLO AÑO de economía fósil. Un dato clave que aún no tiene relato ecologista que lo abandere. ¿Queremos decrecer en minería en términos absolutos? ¡Descarbonicemos!

Visa barriers block important voices at New York Climate Week How can climate justice be achieved when so many people are shut out of the New York Climate Week by Trump's visa ban?

COP bureau meeting ends in stalemate as Brazil insists Belém logistics can work A UN survey showed a majority of nations had not yet booked hotels in Belém due to high costs, raising concerns about lower participation

La UE se resigna a un arancel del 15% a sus exportaciones para cerrar un pacto comercial con Estados Unidos El acuerdo alcanzado prevé que Europa compre energía a Washington por valor de unos 640.000 millones de euros durante tres años

Este acuerdo tiene una variante climática que innegable. Vamos a comprar gas y petróleo a EEUU, sí o sí, por valor de 750.000 millones de dólares.

Oponerse de manera maximalista y sin argumentos a las renovables también tiene consecuencias, como aceptar la dependencia fósil de potencias como EEUU.

Nations who fail to curb fossil fuels could be ordered to pay reparations, top UN court rules Landmark opinion says those that fail to prevent climate harm could be liable for compensation and restitution

Countries most historically responsible for climate change (UK, US) will have a bill to settle at the end of all this that, at the very least, ought to incentivise a rapidly accelerated fossil fuel phaseout www.theguardian.com/environment/...

COP30 president: Transition from fossil fuels can start In an exclusive interview, André Corrêa do Lago says that negotiators can work out rules or a timeline for the energy transition

COP30 President André Corrêa do Lago says countries don’t need more negotiations—they need to act.

‘She’s pretty much alone’: The EU’s greenest leader fights the tide The European Commission’s second-most powerful politician is isolated, beleaguered and under attack — just like the green policy she has vowed to protect.

Since arriving in Brussels in December to run the EU’s green and competition policy, Teresa Ribera has fought a battle — largely in secret — against opponents who fret that the EU’s efforts to tackle climate change are unaffordable, or that they hand populists an easy win.

What COP30 needs after the June milestone: a to-do list for the second half of 2025 The climate calendar has never looked as crowded—or as fragmented—as it did last month. June closed with the UNFCCC intersessional meetings in Bonn, the Climate Action Week in London and a city leader...

🌍 As the road to #COP30 tightens, here's what the second half of 2025 needs:

✅ Consolidate technical progress
💰 Put finance at the centre
🏙️ Empower non-state actors
🌐 Leverage South Africa’s G20 presidency
🧩 Ease trade tensions
🔧 Push for process reform
