At the COP30 climate talks in Belem, Brazil, activists protested for a plan to phase out fossil fuels, which they argue is crucial for addressing climate change. Negotiations have extended beyond the scheduled deadline due to deep divisions among countries regarding a proposed deal that lacks any reference to fossil fuels. COP30 President Andre Correa do Lago emphasized the need for consensus, but many oil-producing countries resist including fossil fuel phase-out in the agreement. Conversely, numerous other nations demand a clear roadmap for this transition. The deadlock is compounded by discussions on financing, with developing countries seeking greater financial support from wealthier nations to combat climate impacts. The UN Environment Programme has warned that the world is likely to exceed the 1.5-degree Celsius warming limit soon, underscoring the urgency of these negotiations. Activists and experts stress that any final agreement must include a just and equitable plan for phasing out fossil fuels.
