"Over just the past few years, the UNFCCC negotiations have evolved through key milestones, such as COP26 (in Glasgow), where countries agreed for the first time to phase down coal and submitted their second round of NDCs; COP27 (in Sharm El-Sheikh), where parties reached a landmark decision to establish a Loss and Damage Fund for countries most affected by climate impacts;"
"Read this story for a primer on COP30, and join us on Monday, October 27, for the second panel in the Countdown to COP30 Series, to be held at 4:30pm at the Forum. It will feature experts from Columbia faculty discussing the university's priorities for COP30; the role of academia in fostering innovative climate solutions; and what needs to happen in Belém to translate global negotiations into meaningful local action."
Since COP21, nearly every nation committed to global climate action. UNFCCC negotiations advanced through major milestones: COP26 in Glasgow saw a first agreement to phase down coal and submission of second NDCs; COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh created a Loss and Damage Fund for heavily affected countries; COP28 in Dubai completed the first Global Stocktake, urging accelerated transitions from fossil fuels and scaling renewable energy. An infographic outlines other COP milestones and daily COP30 themes and explains distinctions between the blue and green zones. A Columbia panel on October 27 will highlight university priorities, academia's role, and translating global talks into local action in Belém.
