COP30
COP30 Outcomes: Takeaways from the UN Climate Talks in Brazil
COP30 ended with some significant wins for climate action. Adaptation finance was increased, new funding was gathered for renewable energy, and a 1.5°C goal was reaffirmed. However, the lack of a plan for a global phase out of fossil fuels soured the final COP30 text. This dichotomy defines this year's COP and highlights the lack of continuity in critical aspects of global climate action.
No Progress on the Global Stocktake at COP30
While scientists increasingly consider the 1.5°C goal impossible to achieve, public and private sector stakeholders at COP30 can still help ensure a livable future for the next generation by uniting and working to urgently phase out fossil fuels, halt and reverse deforestation and scale up renewable energy sources.
At COP30, Transportation Emissions Remain a Big Hurdle
COP30 highlighted a critical gap: despite funding pledges, transport remains underfunded and slow to decarbonise. With Asia’s rapid urbanisation driving demand for mobility, accelerated, equity-focused investments in clean and inclusive transport are urgently needed to avoid locking in high emissions and inequitable access.
Climate Finance at COP30: Can Developing Countries Expect a Breakthrough?
As COP30 unfolds in Belém, developing nations press for action over pledges, urging a shift from climate finance commitments to real-world implementation. The toll of climate disasters in 2025 underscores the urgency: loss and damage funding remains far short of what’s needed, even as new tools and debt-for-climate swaps begin to unlock potential investments.
What COP30 Should Deliver to Advance the ASEAN Power Grid
The regional grid, a decades-old concept, could significantly accelerate Southeast Asia’s transition to renewables, ensuring stable, secure, clean and affordable electricity for countries in the region. However, for that to happen, leaders at COP30 must address the policy and financing roadblocks impeding the initiative.
