WORLD (Enmaeya News) - November 24, 2025
After two weeks of intense negotiations in Belém, Brazil, the COP30 climate summit concluded Sunday with no formal commitment to phase out fossil fuels, according to the host’s closing report.
More than 80 countries pressed for a concrete roadmap to transition away from oil, gas and coal. However, no final deal was reached due to pushback from other countries.
According to DW, instead of a binding plan, the outcome proposes a “voluntary initiative” to accelerate the implementation of existing national climate commitments and increase international cooperation.
The COP30 President, André Corrêa do Lago, announced two voluntary roadmaps: one targeting fossil fuel transition in an equitable way and another aimed at stopping and reversing deforestation. He also disclosed plans for a conference on ending reliance on oil, gas and coal, set to take place in Colombia in April next year.
Financial support for climate adaptation received a boost: countries agreed to triple adaptation funding by 2035.
The summit also established a recurring annual dialogue to monitor progress toward the Paris Agreement target of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C.
The talks were marked by disruption, including Indigenous-led protests, prolonged late-night negotiations, and even a fire that led to a mass evacuation of the venue.
