"Delegates from around the world are expected to disagree over how to tackle climate change and who should pay. The 30th annual United Nations climate change conference (COP30) begins on Monday in the Brazilian city of Belem. About 50,000 people from more than 190 countries, including diplomats and climate experts, are expected to attend the 11-day meeting in the Amazon. Delegates are expected to discuss the climate crisis and its devastating impacts, including the rising frequency of extreme weather."
"COP is the abbreviation for the Conference of the Parties to the Convention, which refers to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), a treaty adopted in 1992 that formally acknowledged climate change as a global threat. The treaty also enshrined the principle of common but differentiated responsibility, meaning that rich countries responsible for the bulk of carbon dioxide emissions should bear the greatest responsibility for solving the problem."
About 50,000 people from more than 190 countries will attend the 11-day COP30 meeting in Belem in the Amazon to negotiate climate action amid rising extreme weather. The agenda includes 145 meetings on the green fuel transition, global warming, and failures to implement past promises. Andre Correa do Lago is president of the conference; mutirao is a Brazilian word derived from an Indigenous term that refers to a group uniting to work on a shared task. The UNFCCC treaty, adopted in 1992 and in force since 1994, enshrines common but differentiated responsibility and underpins the 2015 Paris Agreement to limit warming to about 1.5°C.
