From 10 to 21 November 2025, the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30) will take place in Belém, Brazil. At this year’s COP, key issues will include the new climate pledges by countries for 2035, a proposal by Brazil for a new fund to protect rainforests, further work on scaling-up climate finance for developing countries, and a framework to measure progress on adaptation. At this time of geopolitical tension and after the renewed withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Agreement, COP30 will also serve as a test of the multilateral process: how well will countries work together to address climate change?
