COP30 Reaches Final Deal Without Fossil-Fuel Roadmap as Brazil Plans Separate Initiative

Overview

• COP30 president André Corrêa do Lago said the fossil-fuel roadmap will not be in the UN decision and will be launched separately by the Brazilian presidency.
• After overnight negotiations, delegations reported agreement on a final text, with a plenary set this morning to adopt the documents.
• The package retains advances on adaptation, including a consolidated set of 59 Global Goal on Adaptation indicators and language to triple adaptation finance by 2030, though funding sources and rules are undefined.
• The European Union and a coalition of roughly 30 countries had warned they would not support a text without a fossil phase-out roadmap, driving the talks past the scheduled close.
• Proceedings were strained by a pavilion fire and a Federal Police probe of unauthorized security firms, and Colombia announced an April 2026 conference to pursue a fossil-fuel phase-out.
