"Some 50,000 people from more than 190 countries are expected to attend the 12-day event, which is being held at the edge of the Brazilian Amazon rainforest. Addressing the conference, Stiell said that previous climate talks had helped, but that there was much more work to do. The UN climate boss noted that countries would have to move much, much faster in driving down greenhouse gas emissions. Lamenting is not a strategy."
"His comments came as a new UN analysis of countries' climate plans found that the pledged reductions fall far short of the drop needed by 2035 to limit temperatures to 1.5C (2.7F) above pre-industrial temperatures. If this threshold is breached, the world will experience far more severe impacts than it has so far, experts say. Climate change is no longer a threat of the future. It is a tragedy of the present, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva stressed at the start of COP30."
About 50,000 people from more than 190 countries are expected to attend the 12-day COP30 climate summit in Belem at the edge of the Amazon rainforest. UN Climate Chief Simon Stiell called for unity and urgent action, urging countries to move much faster in cutting greenhouse gas emissions and emphasizing that lamenting is not a strategy. A new UN analysis finds pledged emissions reductions fall far short of the decline needed by 2035 to keep warming to 1.5C. Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva characterized climate change as a present tragedy and condemned deniers. The United States is not sending delegates under the Trump administration.
