Brazil's President Warns Time to Prevent Catastrophic Climate Change Is Rapidly Diminishing at COP30 Summit
Nov 07, 2025 01:59 am CST
At the pre-COP30 summit in Amazonian Belem, Brazil's President Lula da Silva warned that the window to prevent disastrous climate change is closing quickly, citing UN projections of a 2.5°C temperature rise by 2100 that could cause 250,000 annual deaths and reduce global GDP by nearly a third. He criticized misinformation from "extremist forces" while urging immediate global action amid growing international climate tensions.
UN Report Warns World Off Track to Meet Paris Climate Goals Despite Progress Ahead of COP30
Nov 05, 2025 01:07 am CST
A new UN Environment Programme report reveals that despite some progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the world remains significantly off track to meet Paris Agreement climate goals. With global temperatures projected to rise 2.3-2.5°C by century's end under current pledges, and a temporary breach of the critical 1.5°C threshold now considered inevitable, the report calls for dramatic emission cuts as leaders prepare for COP30 in Brazil. While renewable energy adoption accelerates, G20 nations—responsible for 77% of global emissions—must dramatically increase climate ambition.
COP30 in Brazil: Addressing Emissions, Climate Finance and Forest Protection a Decade After Paris Agreement
Nov 04, 2025 02:57 pm CST
The upcoming COP30 in Brazil's Amazon region marks a critical milestone ten years after the Paris Agreement, focusing on three key challenges: insufficient emissions reductions by major polluters, inadequate climate finance for developing nations, and innovative approaches to forest conservation including the new Tropical Forests Forever Facility. As world leaders gather in Belem, they face mounting pressure to deliver concrete actions rather than symbolic gestures.
Amazon Rainforest Time Machine: Scientists Simulate Future Climate Conditions to Test Forest Resilience
