"The first draft of a potential outcome from the Cop30 has landed, put up on the UN web site on Tuesday morning, and it's fascinating. This will not be the only text from Cop30 there are also texts on all of the other decisions that will be made at this Cop, in various stages of draft or not draft yet but the mutirao decision takes in the big four issues that were too difficult to be included in the official agenda."
"Discussion of this issue which was agreed as the key resolution from Cop28 in 2023 was effectively shut down last year in Baku, and in Belem has taken place only on the sidelines up to now. The draft text is an elaboration of the note sent by Brazilian Cop president Andre Correa do Lago on Sunday night, formalised into the shape of something that could be gavelled through as a decision."
The first draft of a potential outcome from COP30 was posted on the UN website. The mutirao decision consolidates four contentious issues excluded from the official agenda: finance, transparency, trade, and national climate plans (NDCs). The draft unexpectedly includes options referencing a transition away from fossil fuels. The draft elaborates a note from Brazilian COP president Andre Correa do Lago and suggests gavelling after a ministers meeting, though that is unlikely. The draft contains many options and shows nations remain far from resolving the issues. It also proposes annual reviews of NDCs to accelerate strengthening toward the 1.5C goal.
