Opinion / #UNFCCC
Much of the international community has been under the illusion that climate action and development are different pursuits. But to make progress on both agendas, the delegates at this year’s United Nations Climate Change Conference must recognise that they are one and the same, and begin building an integrated financing system.
As the host of this year's UN Climate Change Conference, Brazil seeks to make COP30 the “COP of implementation.” Translating commitments into robust action should include providing indigenous peoples with direct access to predictable and sustainable finance, and treating them as equal partners, rather than as beneficiaries.
Ending reliance on oil, coal, and gas, and embracing technologies that will only improve and become cheaper over time, is not just smart climate policy. It is the best way to improve economic competitiveness and human prosperity for decades to come.
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.
