The thirtieth session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP30) opens in Belém, Brazil. From Monday 10 November to 21 November, COP30 will bring together leaders from governments, businesses and civil society to discuss priority actions to tackle climate change, one of the most important issues of our time.

This Climate Summit will continue to focus on the efforts needed to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5°C, as set out in the 2015 Paris Agreement , which is now 10 years old. In addition, countries will present their new national action plans.

Progress on financial commitments made at COP29 will also be reviewed, a key issue, as countries are likely to drastically reduce global greenhouse gas emissions and protect themselves from the growing effects of climate change to be on such financing . Specifically, the need to channel resources on a large scale to meet the goal adopted at COP29 in Baku of mobilizing 1.3 trillion dollars per year by 2035 will be addressed.

Another of the major areas to be discussed at COP30 will be the closure of the work programme on adaptation indicators that was launched at COP28 in Dubai and that will allow progress in this area to be measured in a homogeneous way among all countries.

Finally, and after the lack of consensus in the negotiation on just transition last year, Brazil has once again made this issue a priority to achieve concrete results that will help countries implement a just model change that leaves no one behind.

SPAIN’S PRESENCE AT THE COP

The Government of Spain, as was the case in past editions held in Baku (Azerbaijan), Dubai (Saudi Arabia) and Sharm el-Sheikh (Egypt), has a pavilion in the blue zone where more than 50 events will take place in which the different Spanish and international entities, companies and administrations present at the COP will participate.

Thus, the Spanish Pavilion is conceived as a meeting place for entities to present their agreements and objectives in terms of climate ambition. As in previous years, 100% of the events can be followed in streaming through the Biodiversity Foundation’s social media channels.
