COP30 Ends With Adaptation Pledge, No Fossil-Fuel Roadmap

Oil producers stripped fossil‑fuel language from the final text, leaving a finance‑heavy deal centered on voluntary implementation.

COP30 President Andre Correa do Lago (C) gestures next to his advisers after the plenary session was interrupted following Colombia's intervention at the COP30 UN Climate Change Conference in Belem, Para state, Brazil, on November 22, 2025. A proposed final deal for the UN climate talks omits any direct mention of phasing out fossil fuels, as demanded by the EU and many countries, according to the text published Saturday after two weeks of fraught negotiations. The draft, which must be approved by consensus by nearly 200 nations, calls on developed countries to "at least triple" financing to help poorer nations adapt to the impacts of climate change.

Overview

  • The Belém Package’s consensus decision omitted any reference to fossil fuels or a phase‑out roadmap after pushback from major producers.
  • Governments endorsed a call to at least triple adaptation finance by 2035, though amounts, sources and delivery mechanisms remain unresolved.
  • Countries launched a Global Implementation Accelerator and agreed to develop a just transition mechanism to support workers and communities in shifting economies.
  • Brazil said it will lead voluntary roadmaps on transitioning away from fossil fuels and on halting and reversing deforestation outside the UN text.
  • Brazil’s Tropical Forests Facility drew multibillion‑dollar pledges with reported totals ranging from about $6.6 billion to $9.5 billion, as the United States’ absence from COP30 reduced perceived leverage on funding and ambition.
