As the dust settles on COP30, the final agreement presents a mix of gridlock and glimmers of hope.
Sir David King reflects on a formal process that has stalled, contrasted with a powerful new signal that could finally drive meaningful climate action.

“A credible pathway to phase out fossil fuels must be at the heart of any outcome here.”
With negotiations at COP30 reaching their crucial closing stages, there is a glaring gap in the current draft agreement: a roadmap away from fossil fuels.

The UN’s latest Global Methane Status Report shows some encouraging signs of action, but the gap between effort and necessity remains vast. Governments must act now and implement cuts in national plans.

This week at COP30, CCAG members Fatima Denton and Arunabha Ghosh took part in a roundtable on critical minerals.
Critical minerals will play an essential part in the climate transition, enabling technology needed to speed up decarbonisation - making discussions such as this ever more important.

Only a third of countries submitted NDCs before COP30. That gap puts the Paris goals further out of reach, but also underlines why NDCs must do more than cut emissions.

COP30 opens at a pivotal moment. Global temperatures have now breached 1.5°C – the limit the Paris Agreement set out to avoid.
This marks the start of the overshoot era: dangerous, but temporary if we act decisively.

Nearly 90% of methane leaks detected from space are still being ignored.
Methane lasts only a short time in the atmosphere – but while it’s there, it traps 80× more heat than CO₂.
Cutting it is the fastest way to slow warming now.

The energy sector drives ~40% of human-made methane -- most of it preventable.
Banning venting & flaring, fixing leaks, and enforcing transparent monitoring could halve emissions this decade.
It’s fast, affordable climate action that also cleans our air and strengthens energy security.

In his latest blog, Sir David King warns: cutting CO₂ alone won’t be enough.
Methane drives over a third of global warming. Acting on it today could slow heating within decades. The technology is here. What’s needed is focus, fairness and political courage.

Methane cuts aren’t just another climate target – they’re our fastest route to cooling.
New Zealand’s decision to roll back its agricultural methane targets is a step backwards. Agriculture is the country’s largest source of methane, and proven solutions already exist.

According to a new report from @GlobalTippingPoints, rising heat is driving coral reefs into decline. Without urgent emission cuts, other ecosystems could follow. But by taking action against climate change, we can spark positive tipping points to create a manageable future for people and planet.

Waste produces nearly 20% of human-driven methane – but it’s one of the easiest to fix.
By cutting food waste, madating universal collection, and monitoring landfill gas, we can slash emissions fast while making cities cleaner and healthier.
