COP30 was held in Belém, Brazil, from November 10 to 21, 2025. For two weeks, countries talked about what the world should do next to deal with climate change. In the end, they created a plan called the Mutirão. It has some strong points—and some weak ones.
The Good Side—the helpful progress
Countries spent more time talking about adapting to climate change, not just reducing emissions. They agreed to triple the money for helping poorer countries deal with heatwaves, floods, storms, and unusual weather. This support should help people stay safe, protect their homes, and recover faster when disasters happen.
They also created a better system for checking progress. This means the world will know which countries are actually doing something—and which ones are only making promises.
Another positive step: countries officially agreed on the idea of a “just transition.” This means that when the world shifts to clean energy, workers and communities should not lose their jobs or get left behind.
Indigenous groups—especially important in the Amazon—had a stronger voice. Their knowledge about forests and nature was included in the final plan.
The Bad Side—the parts that did not improve
The biggest problem was simple: countries did not agree on a plan to slowly stop using fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas.
Many leaders wanted a clear decision, but some powerful countries blocked it. Because of this, the final message became soft and unclear. This was a major disappointment because fossil fuels are the main cause of global warming.
Some parts of the agreement were also too vague. They sound nice, but they don’t have exact steps or exact deadlines—which means progress could stay slow and uneven.
The usual divide between rich countries and vulnerable countries also continued, mostly about money and support. Funds were promised again, but poorer nations want to see real action, not just speeches.
The Overall Result
COP30 made progress in areas like adaptation, fairness, and tracking real action. But the world expected more—especially because the summit was held in the Amazon, a place that shows how serious climate change has become.
COP30 moved things forward. But it wasn’t the big breakthrough people were hoping for.
