📢 The climate talks #COP30 in Belém conclude with a largely empty deal:
❌ No halt to deforestation,
❌ No fossil fuel phaseout, and
❌ No climate finance at the scale the crisis demands.

At #COP30, it is increasingly evident that the momentum for change is real: A call to #FixTheUNFCCC is growing louder.
