What to Know About COP30, This Year’s UN Climate Talks
COP30 focuses on updated national climate plans and forest protection with Indigenous leadership, amid warnings that current efforts may not limit warming to 1.5°C, experts say.
- This past week, countries and delegates began gathering in Belem, Para state, Brazil for COP30, the 30th annual United Nations climate summit aiming to stop the worst effects of human-caused climate change.
- This year, countries had homework to bring updated national plans, and the talks are framed as the implementation COP rather than a venue for a new deal; the United States will not submit an updated plan, having dropped out of the Paris Agreement.
- The government of Brazil is spearheading the Tropical Forests Forever Facility to reward forest protection, but observers say it remains uncertain if world leaders will pledge enough funding.

- A decade since the Paris Agreement, negotiators acknowledge countries remain off course, and scientists say limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is now unlikely after a 0.46 degrees Celsius rise.
