The two-week COP30 climate summit in Belém, Brazil, saw the largest global participation of Indigenous leaders in the conference’s history.

But sources say frustrations grew as negotiators failed to establish pathways for rapid climate finance for adaptation, loss and damage, or to create road maps for reversing deforestation and phasing out fossil fuels.

“Taxing airline fuel is not the only answer to encouraging more people to choose low-carbon travel, but it’s a start.

It’s ludicrous that the most environmentally damaging form of transport doesn’t pay fuel tax”

#UN #climate talks fizzle out 10 yrs after #ParisAccord

Nearly 200 countries reached a weak agreement Saturday at the United Nations climate talks in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest. The deal represents a win for the #oil, #gas & #coal industries because it makes NO MENTION of curtailing the use of #FossilFuels, the main drivers of #ClimateChange.

Fossil fuels are fine unless you use them for anything.

Stop burning #fossilfuels. Stop turning them into plastics.
Leave them in the ground.

Did anyone expect COP30 to reach reasonable agreements?

The results are even more embarrassing than the German chancellor's display of tactlessness!

Nations sealed a modest agreement at the U.N. climate summit in the Brazilian Amazon on Saturday as many countries swallowed weaker terms on a fossil fuel phaseout to preserve unity. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/11/23/climate-change/cop30-climate-deal-fossil-fuels/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #brazil #cop30 #climatechange #emissions #fossilfuels

In a virtuosic performance of political doublespeak, the EU's climate chief declares that the EU is not fighting fossil fuels, only their emissions.

It's a bold new strategy of battling the symptoms while enthusiastically funding the disease. A perfect, nonsensical stance to ensure the arsonists remain in charge of the fire department.

Dozens of #DevelopingNations joined with major #oil producers including #SaudiArabia & #Russia to oppose the road map, arguing they were unable curtail #FossilFuels while many of their citizens lack #electricity.
Facing that resistance, #Brazil’s effort failed.
The #EU was the major holdout pushing for a deal to take stronger actions to slash #climate #emissions, but it agreed to support the accord after an all-night negotiation session that extended well into the morning Saturday.
