COP30 Concludes in Belém With Mixed Results on Climate Action

The 30th United Nations Climate Summit, COP30, concluded on November 24, 2025, in Belém, Brazil, after two weeks of intense negotiations. With over 55,000 participants, including 2,500 Indigenous representatives and approximately 1,600 fossil fuel lobbyists, the summit was the second-largest in UN history. Dubbed the “COP of Truth,” it aimed to address critical issues such as climate finance, deforestation, and Indigenous rights. However, the outcomes were mixed, reflecting both progress and significant setbacks.
