Brazil’s Audit Court Unveils ClimateScanner at COP30, Finding Most Countries Can’t Track Climate Spending

Overview

• TCU reported 141 countries engaged with ClimateScanner and 103 submissions analyzed, with about 90% unable to state how much they spend on climate action and widespread gaps in monitoring and planning.
• The COP30 panel launched climatescanner.org and painelclimabrasil.org to publish comparable audit results on governance, finance and policies.
• Painel ClimaBrasil found 17 of 24 capitals unprepared for disaster recovery, only four identifying vulnerable groups, and most states lacking concrete emissions targets despite having plans.
• Quaest’s new IPM‑Clima shows 94% of Brazilians felt climate effects in the past two years, with heat waves most cited and strong concern across demographic groups.
• Genial/Quaest polling finds the public split on COP30’s impact at 41% positive and 41% no difference, while a school survey reports roughly one in ten students know what COP30 is.
