Climate negotiators from around the globe are meeting in Belém, Brazil, for the 30th session of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 30) on Monday.
Commitments are on the table, but the focus must shift to implementation. Negotiators face mounting pressure to agree on adaptation indicators and set a clear climate finance roadmap. Meanwhile, the third round of national climate plans will show if the world can build resilience and limit warming to 1.5°C.
Visit our Inside COP 30 page to read daily summaries, learn more about the priorities, and explore our events.
Our experts and reporting services will be on the ground in Belém. Follow their reporting in our Earth Negotiations Bulletin (ENB).

What’s at Stake for Adaptation
Tackling the climate crisis requires both cutting emissions and learning how to live in a rapidly warming world. Adaptation is in the spotlight at COP 30, with some even calling it “the adaptation COP.” But where the rubber meets the road is when countries need to turn COP decisions into national actions that truly deliver for people and nature. Our experts explain the key areas where we need to see progress.

What’s at Stake for Energy
At COP 28 in Dubai, governments took a historic step toward adding more substance to the Paris Agreement by committing to a just and equitable transition away from fossil fuels. Two years later, that promise hangs in the balance. Our experts unpack how governments can drive the energy transition at COP 30.

Trade in the Spotlight at COP 30
In Belém, climate and trade will intersect in ways that could reshape economies and emissions. From border carbon adjustments to deforestation-free import rules, countries are exploring how trade can reduce emissions while supporting economic competitiveness. Our experts highlight the need for transparency, support for developing countries, and harmonized standards to ensure that trade drives climate ambition rather than deepening global divides.
