The 30th annual Conference of the Parties (COP30) is taking place ten years after the landmark Paris Agreement of 2015. Leaders from around the world will gather in Belém, Brazil, for this crucial summit to discuss the future of global climate action.
This summit holds special importance because participants will be reviewing how much progress has been made since the Paris Agreement and what countries have done to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Nations will also be submitting new and stronger climate pledges, known as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Brazil, as the host nation, will highlight its efforts to protect the Amazon rainforest and lead discussions on sustainable solutions for the planet’s future.
The world should be watching COP30 closely because climate change is worsening, with heatwaves, floods, and wildfires becoming more frequent. As Brazil hosts the summit in the Amazon — one of the most important ecosystems for the planet’s health — the decisions made here could shape the Earth’s future.
