"I'm not saying we're winning the climate fight. But we are undeniably still in it, and we are fighting back. Here in Belem, nations chose unity, science and economic common sense. This year there has been a lot of attention on one country stepping back. But amid the gale-force political headwinds, 194 countries stood firm in solidarity rock solid in support of climate cooperation."
"The world is not winning the fight against the climate crisis but it is still in that fight, the UN climate chief has said in Belem, Brazil, after a bitterly contested Cop30 reached a deal. Countries at Cop30 failed to bring the curtain down on the fossil fuel age amid opposition from some countries led by Saudi Arabia, and they underdelivered on a flagship hope at a conference held in the Amazon to chart an end to deforestation."
The world is not winning the fight against the climate crisis but remains engaged in the struggle. Cop30 in Belem produced a contested deal while failing to end the fossil fuel age amid opposition led by Saudi Arabia. The summit underdelivered on plans to halt deforestation at Amazon talks. Despite nationalism, war and geopolitical distrust, international talks did not collapse and multilateral cooperation persisted. Nations collectively affirmed that the global transition toward low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development is irreversible, signaling a political and market trend that cannot be ignored.
