The world our children deserve is still possible. Parents move mountains for their kids every day. We’ll keep pushing, keep showing up, and keep fighting for a livable future. After all, it’s #OurKids’Climate.

Momentum is building: over 80 countries spoke up for a transition away from fossil fuels, and the COP president will drive forward a new global roadmap for fossil fuel phase-out. Next April, Colombia will host the first conference for fossil fuel phase-out. Renewables are surging.

But hope was everywhere in Belém. At the Global Climate March, we felt vibrant energy, creativity, and solidarity. 89% of people worldwide want stronger climate action, and we felt that truth in the streets.

The final COP outcome was a tug at the heart. No mention of fossil fuels, even though science is clear we must phase them out. Our children deserve better.

Catarina, who lives in Belém, is a mother and part of our delegation, continuous: “#COP30 has ended, but we remain mobilized. Clean air to breathe and clean rivers to play in are not promises — they are rights.”

Dr Jemilah Mahmood, Executive Director of the Sunway Centre for Planetary Health, spoke about her concerns as a doctor, but also as a Grandma. “It's very personal for me. But I think this is what health should be. It should be very personal. It should be founded on love.” @gchalliance.bsky.social

Catarina Nefertari, a Belem-based mother from our delegation, spoke about how climate change is impacting her daughter's daily live: "Sometimes when we want to go out to take her to play, we can't because it's really hot.”

Inside the #GlobalEthicalStocktakePavilion, children’s butterflies flutter as messages of care and urgency.
Created by young hands, these banners remind leaders that a livable future must be built with the voices of the youngest among us.

We hope this spirit - vibrant, heartfelt, and full of purpose - carries into the conference rooms of #COP30 as we enter week two of the climate negotiations.
