From Rio to Belém: The long unravelling of climate consensus
Three decades after the optimism of the 1992 Earth Summit, the climate regime faces a tough test. The retreat of multilateralism and the rules-based international order has left COP30 struggling to hold together the fading promise of global action.
As the world gathers in the Amazon, political headwinds and fading ambition test the limits of global climate cooperation.
China’s climate pivot has been shaped by its survival strategy, and this is now quickly redefining its resilience in the 21st century. Whether that power endures will depend on Asean – arguably China’s closest testbed for clean energy development. The recent Asean Summit and Apec meetings suggest China’s successes in climate and development will see a far larger reach beyond its shores.
A landmark UN treaty will soon govern two-thirds of the world’s oceans – testing whether nations can balance conservation with competition for deep-sea resources.
