COP30
COP30 will take place in Belém, Brazil from 10-21 November 2025.
This COP will be a pivotal conference in terms of the fact it is just 5 years until 2030, the year by which the Paris Agreement has attempted to halt global warming to “well below 1.5ºC”.
With emissions and temperatures at an all-time high, COP30 needs to be a turning point in terms of mobilising and operationalising climate action in all areas of the UNFCCC.
On this page you will find all of our COP30 coverage, ranging from articles to infographics and booklets.
