🌊 Subrayo la importancia que por primera vez, el océano fue un tema considerando en la #COP de cambio climático, mencionado también en la decisión final. En mi informe había recomendado la importancia de incluir también en esta COP, una perspectiva de derechos humanos y la vinculación con el océano.

🌱Fue una semana de trabajo arduo en la #COP30 , la llamada COP de la verdad y de las personas. Lo vivido en estos días confirma una vez más que los DD.HH, incluyendo el derecho al ambiente limpio, sano y sostenible, deben estar al centro de todos los esfuerzos de protección ambiental y climática.

#COP30 finished yesterday in Belém, after immense preparations & admirable efforts from the Brazilian Presidency, and many others involved. This was the COP of truth and the peoples’ COP. With many challenges and important advances.

#COP30 is entering the last few hours, a new draft was shared 16 hours ago, and parties are still negotiating.

With COP30 talks in "crisis", countries are urged to unite
A group of 29 countries - mainly from Europe, Latin America and small islands - reject the main text, saying it is "weak" for omitting their demand for a fossil fuel transition roadmap

A un día de la finalización de la #COP30, de acuerdo con agenda y después del desafortunado incendio 🔥 que obligó a evacuar el área, tres reflexiones antes de terminar el día:
November 21, 2025 at 1:16 AM
Querida gente,

Estamos participando en la #COP30 y hoy desafortunadamente hubo un incendio en uno de los pabellones. Se contuvo rápidamente y todas las personas fuimos evacuadas muy pronto.

Esperamos que la situación pueda arreglarse y se reanude la conferencia, para terminar mañana.
