Why it matters
The COP30 conference held in Belém, Brazil, saw participation from over 190 countries, emphasizing a collective commitment to combat climate change and promote clean energy. The UK, representing a small fraction of global emissions, highlighted the need for international collaboration to address the remaining 99%. Although the conference did not yield a detailed roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels, a coalition of 83 countries emerged, supported by businesses and civil society. The summit also focused on mobilizing climate finance, particularly for developing nations, aiming to triple support for resilience against climate impacts. The event marked a significant moment in the ongoing global effort to limit warming to 1.5°C, reinforcing the belief in multilateralism as essential for tackling the climate crisis.
