COP 30 Halfway Point Webinar
At the midpoint of the UN climate change conference in Belém, the Earth Negotiations Bulletin team shares the latest news, expectations for the final week of COP 30, and answers your questions.
After a year of record-breaking temperatures and geopolitical tension, climate change negotiations and national leaders are meeting at the mouth of the Amazon in Belém, Brazil for UNFCCC COP 30. Among many issues, they will try to agree on a roadmap to increase the New Collective Quantified Goal on Climate Finance from USD 300 billion a year to USD 1.3 trillion, plus indicators to measure climate change adaptation and a gender action plan.
Listen Earth Negotiations Bulletin team leader for COP 30, Jennifer Bansard, as she shared:
- progress on negotiating items in the first week
- where the greatest obstacles have arisen—expected and otherwise
- what we can expect from the second week of the talks
