Ahead of COP31, Brazil offers a global fossil fuel exit plan

- Brazil is concluding its year-long COP30 presidency by publishing roadmaps aimed at curbing deforestation and accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels to help governments implement past climate agreements.
- While the COP30 summit in Belem failed to explicitly mention fossil fuels due to opposition from Saudi Arabia and Russia, Brazil introduced these voluntary roadmaps to maintain momentum.
- The roadmap proposes a "collective agenda" in three phases to transform energy systems, with COP30 President Andre Correa noting that the knowledge and technology needed are "already available."
- Climate campaigner Fanny Petitbon of 350 welcomed the initiatives but warned they must not "end up as just another report gathering dust," emphasizing COP31 must deliver clear commitments.
- COP31 begins in Turkey on November 9, with hosts championing a voluntary program focused on "electrification," though current policies "still leave the world short" of the 1.5 degrees Celsius goal.
