US EditionAs Nations Push for More Ambition at Climate Talks, Chairman Says They May Get It
COP30 chair may issue a final communiqué urging countries to strengthen emission cuts and climate finance amid calls from vulnerable nations and Indigenous groups.
- On Saturday, COP President André Corrêa do Lago said he will consider a big-picture, end-of-negotiations communiqué and added that 'the parties will decide how they want to proceed' with key issues punted to incoming ministers.
- Amid growing urgency, negotiators are pushing for stronger action on weak emission plans, more climate finance and enforceable fossil-fuel phase-outs, spurred by Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Annalena Baerbock, U.N. General Assembly President, last week.
- Data show 116 of 193 countries filed plans this year, yet United Nations and Climate Action Tracker conclude those pledges barely reduce warming projections, leaving Earth about seven-tenths of a degree Celsius above the 1.5 C Paris goal.
- Ministers due to arrive next week will decide on contested issues after some were deferred this weekend, and experts say this often leads to final messages urging nations to revise inadequate plans and clarify finance and fossil-fuel phase-out language.
- Despite being promoted as the 'Indigenous Peoples' COP', Indigenous groups twice breached and blockaded the venue this week demanding inclusion, while past COP end statements left rich countries' unfulfilled finance and fossil-fuel pledges despite Annalena Baerbock citing new momentum.

The main technical deliverable of COP30 — the Global Adaptation Target (GGA) — has become yet another chapter in the funding dispute between rich and developing countries. What was intended as a technical discussion on how to measure countries' progress in the face of the climate crisis has been captured by the impasse over resources. The conference had the mission of approving up to 100 global indicators to monitor adaptation actions, such as t…
For the past week, delegations attending the 30th UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) have been repeating the same stark, undeniable truth: without money, there will be no security, no climate justice, and no possibility of survival. All the measures devised to stabilize the planet—from resilience shields to energy transitions—run up against the same obstacle.

A procedural impasse is threatening to derail the COP30 climate summit holding in Belem, Brazil, five days into negotiations, with disagreements over which issues deserve priority attention preventing substantive talks from advancing.
