The Cop30, the UN climate conference in Belém, ended on Saturday (22) almost 27 hours late, after tense negotiations that resulted in a final agreement without Brazil's plan for reducing fossil fuels. The text advanced on adaptation financing and recognized the roles of indigenous and afrodescendant communities, but disappointed NGOs for lacking ambition on emissions. Tensions marked the final plenary, with criticism from Colombia and defense of the Brazilian presidency.
Major oil firms like BP, Shell, Exxon, and Chevron have altered their public communications since 2020, moving away from climate pledges toward emphasizing fossil fuels' role in energy security, according to a Clean Creatives report. This change followed Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine and aligns with analyses of their advertisements and annual reports. Recent global oil disruptions highlight vulnerabilities in fossil fuel dependence.

Illinois is set to introduce a bill requiring fossil fuel companies to contribute to a climate superfund amid rising costs from global warming. This effort joins a wave of similar legislation in other states, driven by advocates pushing for polluters to cover expenses like flooding and heat waves. New York and Vermont have already enacted such laws, despite opposition from industry and the federal government.
Det COP30-klima-topmøde i Belém, Brasilien, er gået i overtid, da ingen aftale om udfasning af fossile brændstoffer er nået. Det nye udkast til beslutning mangler klare forpligtelser om kul, olie og gas, hvilket har udløst skarp kritik fra lande som Tyskland og miljøgrupper. Forhandlere advarer om et topmøde, der ender uden resultater.

Den svenske delegation på COP30-klimatopmødet i Belém kritiserer stærkt udkastet til aftale, der blev frigivet tidlig fredag. Udkastet mangler omtale af fossile brændstoffer og ambitiøse udslippsreduktioner, hvilket vækker vrede fra EU og flere land. Forhandlingerne er i sidste fase, men nationerne er stadig langt fra hinanden på flere centrale spørgsmål.
