#COP30 is about implementation.
We've made #ParisAgreement progress, but not enough as @unep.org #EmissionsGap data shows
That does not mean we give up.
It means we become more determined.
In Belém UNEP is supporting proven solutions on:
🌍 Methane
🌎 Sustainable cooling

Slow climate adaptation is threatening lives and economies.
We need a global adaptation finance push.
Even amid competing priorities the reality is simple: if we do not invest now, we will face escalating costs every year.
