flag COP30 in Brazil ended with a weak, non-binding deal lacking a fossil fuel phaseout, despite 89 countries initially backing it.

flag The 2025 UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) ended in Belem, Brazil, with a non-binding agreement that dropped calls for a fossil fuel phaseout despite initial support from over 89 countries. flag A coalition of 24 nations pledged to develop a phaseout roadmap by April 2026, but the absence of major powers like the U.S. federal government and the UK, along with resistance from petro-states, weakened progress. flag Critics labeled the outcome as climate denial, citing the influence of fossil fuel lobbyists and a gap between ambition and action. flag Brazil launched a Forest Fund, and affected communities urged stronger implementation, justice, and science-based policies.
