#COP30 must deliver a clear #roadmap for the transition away from #fossilfuels. That will not come easily. This is where the real fight begins.

WOW! President Lula opens #COP30 with his strongest call yet to “get rid of fossil fuels” and “accelerate the energy transition.”
Lula’s called for clear “roadmaps” on deforestation and a fair #fossilfuel phase-out sets the right tone.
Now COP30 must follow with courage and concrete commitments.

#EU environment ministers just agreed the 2040 Hashtag#climate target: a 90 % net emissions cut & a new 2035 climate plan, just days before #COP30 in Belém.
It’s an outcome that many thought would collapse under the weight of populism & protectionism.
Holding the line at 90 % is no small thing
