Belem, Brazil. The United Nations Climate Change Conference of 2025 in Belém (COP30) will close without explicit mention of the elimination of fossil fuels in its final draft agreement, due to resistance led by oil-producing countries and several emerging economies. The decision represents a setback for a broad bloc of nations that, for almost two weeks, had been pressing for a clear road map to abandon coal, gas and oil.
The Climate Summit in Belém, Brazil, faces its decisive moments without firm agreements. Draft final documents have been criticized by both participating nations and environmental groups. Meanwhile, many countries urge that the summit not be concluded without establishing a definitive plan to leave fossil fuels behind.
‘In denial’ – Cop30 draft deal fails to even mention fossil fuels
The host of the Cop30 climate summit in Brazil urged countries to unite for a deal yesterday as a showdown loomed in the summit’s final hours over whether the accord should set the world on a clearer path away from fossil fuels.
They consider that it does not include a plan for the phasing out of fossil fuels and reaffirm the urgency of increased funding for climate adaptation.
On Friday morning, there was no sign of the fire that almost caused a catastrophe at the COP30 climate summit. But it was another absence that worried the thousands of climate change activists and a few ministers of the Environment, among them the Spanish Sara Aagesen. The expected reference to a road towards the progressive elimination of fossil fuels had disappeared from the plan of action agreed by the Brazilian host.
