Proposed steps include:
A 3-year Belém Work Programme and Action Plan on Article 9.1 implementation.
Tripling adaptation finance.
Establishing fair burden-sharing arrangements.
This is one of the most explicit acknowledgements yet that COP30 must unlock public finance to enable any credible outcome.

💵 Finance Options: Closing the Gap
The document acknowledges the persistent and widening climate-finance gaps and frames finance as a central enabler of climate action.

🧵5/X

The text explicitly proposes options for countries to “accelerate action to transition away from fossil fuels”, including a new roadmap shaped by future COP Presidencies.

The real question is whether #Brazil will use these tools to push for a high-ambition outcome or allow the process to settle into the lowest common denominator. And whether Europe and other developed countries will finally step up on finance to make a deal possible.

🧵3/X

among options tabled by the COP Presidency a mandate for successive COP Presidencies to develop a roadmap (on transitioning away from #fossilfuels and deforestation); a coalition of climate ministers; and a clear timeline to deliver before COP31.

Thanks, written in a haste - so thanks for the correction 🫶

The question is whether the COP30 Brazil Presidency has the courage, and the support to turn this COP into a #Mutirão Pact: a cooperative “race to the top” across key issues, rather than another procedural battlefield.

3️⃣ Unilateral trade measures: Many developing countries see these threatening. Yet the charge is led by Saudi Arabia, hardly a champion of climate ambition who is trying to abuse justified worries to derail the talks.

2️⃣ Public climate finance: Developing countries are pushing hard for binding public-finance obligations under Article 9.1 of the Paris Agreement. Developed countries, meanwhile, want to fold this into the broader NCQG framework avoiding a new agenda item altogether.

1️⃣ The ambition gap: A broad coalition (AOSIS, LDCs, AILAC, EIG, EU, UK, Norway, Canada, New Zealand, Chile, RMI, South Africa, Singapore, Switzerland) wants a clear decision responding to the UN’s NDC synthesis report & the glaring shortfall in ambition. Resistance from the Arab Group & LMDC.

there is tons of shortcomings - BUT we are far better off with than without; before the Paris Agreement we were heading for 4+ degrees of warming now its 2+ degrees
thats still way off, but man still so much better than before.
