Brazil’s biodiversity pledge: Six key takeaways for nature and climate change - Carbon Brief The world’s most biodiverse nation, Brazil, has published its UN plan for halting and reversing nature decline by the end of this decade.

🇧🇷 Last month, Brazil published its National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan 2025–2030, outlining new targets for protecting nature and addressing climate change.

A timely step as countries refine how land use, ecosystems, and climate ambition come together in national planning.

EU agrees on a 2040 Climate target that sets a clear path towards a decarbonised and competitive economy The EU is setting a legally binding climate target of 90% reduction in net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for 2040.\n

🌍 The EU has agreed yesterday on a new legally binding 2040 climate target 👉 a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, compared to 1990 levels. The deal also allows for the use of up to 5% high-quality international carbon credits.

Shaping the EU’s 2040 Climate Target | GreenDeal-NET Blog analysing the EU’s 2040 climate target, weakened ambition, international carbon credits, and risks to procedural climate governance under the amended Climate Law.

🎯 How ambitious is the EU’s 2040 climate target?

A 90% reduction goal is set to be added to the European Climate Law, but risks remain: below ESABCC advice, carbon credits, weaker review rules and delayed implementation to 2026.

NEW – COP30: Key outcomes agreed at the UN climate talks in Belém

#COP30

I think the most important issue at stake at #COP30 in #Bélem on mitigation is whether the #UNFCCC continues addressing the transitions needed to achieve the mitigation objectives of the #ParisAgreement - or gets forced back into discussing the global emissions gap only in abstract terms

🌍 ACCLIMATE at #COP30 happening today! For those attending #COP30, join us at the side event “𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧"!
