The COP30 Brazilian Presidency released the Executive Report of the United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Belém, last November, outlining the key political, normative, and implementation outcomes and the commitments that will guide the Presidency’s work in the months ahead to sustain momentum for global climate action.

The conference brought together delegations from nearly every country in the world and resulted in the adoption of 56 decisions by consensus, reaffirming Parties’ commitment to advancing global climate action. More than a single event, the COP was conceived as part of a continuous process of mobilization to translate international commitments into tangible results for people and the planet. As part of this effort, the COP30 Presidency committed to developing Roadmaps designed to support the implementation of decisions and guide global engagement in key strategic areas.
