Overview
- The final COP30 text contains no reference to fossil fuels or a consensus roadmap to phase them out despite a push from the EU and more than 80 countries.
- Negotiators agreed to work toward tripling adaptation finance by 2035 compared with 2025 levels, estimated at roughly $120 billion per year, with implementation details still unclear.
- Delegates backed the development of a just transition mechanism intended to support workers and communities shifting from fossil-fuel economies.
- COP30 President André Corrêa do Lago said he will issue separate, voluntary roadmaps on transitioning away from fossil fuels and on halting and reversing deforestation outside the agreed text.
- Several countries objected to the outcome, including a formal plenary objection from Colombia, as talks ran overtime without a U.S. delegation and were disrupted by protests and a venue fire.
