The COP30, to be held from November 10 to 21, 2025, in Belém, Brazil, represents a historic opportunity to move forward with global agreements that address the climate crisis through a more holistic and just approach. Taking place in the heart of the Amazon, this summit will highlight the link between biodiversity, Indigenous peoples, and the planet’s future.
Solutions proposed by COP30
1. International climate-trade forum
Brazil aims to establish a formal platform where climate policies and global trade converge. The forum would set up working groups to analyze trade impacts on climate and facilitate energy transition in key sectors.
2. “Tropical Forests Forever Facility” fund
A proposed $125 billion fund would reward countries that preserve tropical forests, paying per hectare conserved and deducting for deforestation. At least 20% of the resources would go directly to Indigenous and local communities.
3. Inclusion of subnational and private actors
Beyond states, COP30 seeks to recognize and integrate voluntary commitments from local governments, companies, and organizations into a broad “Global NDC” (Nationally Determined Contributions from non-state actors).
4. People-centered Action Agenda
COP30 has outlined an Action Agenda with 30 goals focused on communities, territories, and climate justice, ensuring a socially equitable transition.
5. Just energy transition
With the Amazon as its stage, the summit emphasizes accelerating the shift to clean energy while avoiding extractive models, ensuring green jobs and inclusive development.
6. Transparent and adequate climate finance
The gap between pledged finance and real needs is evident. Currently, only 4–5% of the global $1.3 trillion target has been raised, making clear and effective mechanisms essential.
In short, COP30 aims to redesign climate solutions around justice, forest protection, and the inclusion of all societal actors.
