📌What happened at COP30?

🔎It began with bold calls to phase-out fossil fuels, but momentum stalled in week two due to a lowest common denominator draft Mutirão Decision.

The real test now lies in what happens next.

🌞Hello #COP30: Belém Daily Debrief

Today was scheduled to be the final day of COP – but it won’t be. As in previous years, extra time will almost certainly be needed.

The delay is partly due to yesterday’s fire. Sessions resumed this morning, and thankfully no one was injured.
