Following two weeks of negotiations in Bonn for the upcoming Cop30 summit in Brazil, significant challenges remain in limiting global temperature rise to 1.5C. Despite the urgent need for countries to submit their national plans, or NDCs, for emissions reduction by September, many have yet to do so. The impacts of ongoing military conflicts and past political decisions have led to a lack of commitment from countries. Preliminary negotiations suggest that even submitted NDCs may fall short of necessary cuts, placing pressure on Brazil to find solutions that can enhance these commitments before the summit.
Success in achieving climate goals hinges on countries submitting effective national plans to cut emissions, yet preliminary negotiations suggest a bleak outlook.
As the Cop30 summit approaches, the mounting challenges, including international conflicts and delayed NDC submissions, undermine hopes to limit global heating to 1.5C.
