COP30 Climate Summit: The Final Hope to Save the Planet from Global Warming?

The city of Belém, Brazil, is hosting the COP30 Climate Summit amid high global anticipation for decisive actions to mitigate the worsening climate crisis. This summit comes after a series of previous conferences that have fallen short of halting global temperature rise, placing great hopes on this event to deliver real breakthroughs.

This summit is considered pivotal, as scientific reports warn that the world is on the brink of surpassing the critical 1.5°C threshold—a red line emphasized by the United Nations. Developing nations are pushing for fair financing from industrialized countries that bear the historical responsibility for emissions.

All eyes are now on concrete commitments from world leaders, particularly in reducing dependency on fossil fuels, achieving climate justice for the most vulnerable countries, and activating the Loss and Damage Fund to support those increasingly affected by climate-related disasters.
