"the world needs roadmaps that will enable humankind, in a fair and planned manner, to overcome its dependence on fossil fuels."
"This is a global coalition, with global north and global south countries coming together and saying with one voice: this is an issue which cannot be swept under the carpet."
COP30 concluded with a decision called the Global Mutirao or Global Collective Effort that makes no mention of fossil fuels. The 2023 IPCC concluded that existing and planned fossil fuel infrastructure already exceeds what is compatible with limiting warming to 2°C and that many fossil fuel capital assets must be stranded—abandoned and not used—to meet that limit. The COP30 decision ignores this imperative and thus undermines efforts to halt global heating. Earlier momentum toward a fossil-fuel roadmap, including calls from Brazil’s president and backing by about 90 nations, failed to secure stronger language in the final text.
