"Brazil is set to host the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30) amidst a backdrop of urgent climate crises, where prior summits made lofty promises without follow-through."
"Past climate summits have largely been platforms for grand declarations. Without mechanisms for enforcement and real accountability, many promises will ultimately go unfulfilled."
As Brazil prepares to host the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30), the context is marked by escalating climate crises that demand urgent action. Historical trends reveal that previous climate summits often resulted in ambitious declarations that lacked the necessary enforcement mechanisms to bring about real change. This criticism points to a systemic failure whereby proposed promises remain unfulfilled without accountability, urging a reconsideration of how climate agreements are structured and implemented to ensure tangible outcomes for climate action.
