During the COP30 climate conference in Brazil, leaders from countries facing severe climate impacts, such as Hurricane Melissa's devastation in Haiti, called for urgent action to combat the climate crisis. They highlighted the disparity between developing nations and wealthier countries responsible for most emissions. Brazilian President Lula da Silva stressed the need for a roadmap to reverse deforestation and reduce fossil fuel dependence. Despite a $300 billion pledge from richer nations last year, developing countries argue that this amount is insufficient, aiming for $1.3 trillion in support. The UN Secretary-General warned that global emissions must be halved by 2030 to avoid catastrophic warming, emphasizing the need for immediate and effective climate action.
