With the planet's future on the line, the decisions made at COP30 will have a lasting impact. The pressure is on for global leaders to turn ambitious talk into concrete action.

A new day for climate finance? The path to COP30

At COP29, a landmark deal was struck to triple climate finance for developing nations to $300 billion annually by 2035. While this is a significant step, experts warn it's a fraction of the $1.3 trillion needed to tackle the climate crisis head-on.

Now, all eyes are on COP30 in Belém, Brazil, this November. This summit is poised to be a pivotal moment for nations to submit more ambitious emissions reduction plans under the Paris Agreement.

The UN's goal is clear: keep the "1.5°C alive." But with current pledges falling seven times short of this target, the stakes have never been higher. Will world leaders step up and make the commitments necessary to secure a sustainable future? The answer will unfold at COP30.
