US EditionCOP30 president vows to defend global climate fight
- Veteran climate diplomat Andre Correa do Lago was selected to lead the COP30 conference taking place in Belem, an Amazonian city, in November 2025, marking a decade since the signing of the Paris Agreement.
- COP30 occurs amidst concerns that climate change is being overshadowed by national security and economic pressures, with deadlines for national climate plans missed by major emitters like China, Europe, and India, and corporations rolling back carbon footprint pledges.
- Correa do Lago has vowed to campaign for greater climate funding for poorer nations, emphasizing the essential role of the private sector in raising the $1.3 trillion a year needed by developing nations by 2035, while his speech at the Petersberg Climate Dialogue, the first major COP30-related meeting, did not address fossil fuels, a key driver of global warming.
- During the Petersberg Climate Dialogue, Correa do Lago urged nations to reinforce multilateralism, unveil stronger 2030 emissions targets, and join forces to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, the safer limit of the Paris accord, while German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock noted that the Paris accord is 'coming under pressure once again'.
- With emissions hitting new highs in 2024, COP30 will aim to defend climate action against geopolitical challenges and push for greater private sector contributions, while alternative forums like the People's Summit will likely amplify marginalized voices and intensify dialogue around justice and equity, especially concerning the safety of environmental defenders in a region where many have been murdered.
