Overview
- The final Belém package, branded the Mutirão pact, drops any explicit mention of fossil fuels and excludes the promised phase‑out roadmap despite marathon, closed‑door talks.
- COP30 president André Corrêa do Lago committed to develop separate initiatives over the next year on the energy transition and reversing deforestation outside the plenary text.
- The deal advances adaptation by calling to triple adaptation finance by 2035 and launching global indicators to track progress, with broader finance discussions referencing a pathway toward $1.3 trillion annually by 2035.
- European Union officials and several Latin American delegations, including Colombia and Panama, condemned the outcome as too weak, and civil society groups criticized the process for limited transparency.
- A bloc led by the Arab Group, with countries such as Saudi Arabia and Russia, resisted fossil‑fuel language, while Colombia announced an April 2026 meeting for willing countries to push a phase‑out and some finance issues shifted to mid‑year talks in Bonn.
