The UN climate talks—COP30, hosted by Brazil this year—could be a turning point in our fight for a liveable planet. In the past, these talks have led to some of the most significant global climate agreements. And, as the host of this year’s talks, the Brazilian COP30 President plays a key role in shaping the debate and its outcomes.
The COP30 President, André Aranha Corrêa do Lago, could get governments to agree to end fossil fuels and drive a rapid expansion of renewable energy.
We are calling on the COP30 President to ensure the talks lead to real international cooperation for the climate. This means:
- Supercharging renewables in a fair way:
- We need a tripling of renewables. Clean, renewable sources like wind and solar must replace fossil fuels by 2030.
- Clean, renewable energy must be affordable, accessible to all and involve communities.
- Rich countries must step up — governments must raise enough money to help countries switch to clean energy. Rich countries should give grants, not loans, to help poorer ones make the transition.
- No more fossil fuels:
- We cannot have new oil, gas, or coal projects, especially in important ecosystems like the Amazon.
- Cut fossil fuel production. Rich countries must go first and fastest.
- Indigenous Peoples have an equal seat at the table:
- Indigenous leaders and communities must have a strong voice at the climate conference. They should be embedded in the decision-making.
