What is COP30?
What is COP30?
The 2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) will take place from 10 to 21 November 2025 in Belém, Brazil. This conference is one of the most significant global events in the fight against climate change. It brings together government representatives, environmental organizations, scientists, and experts from around the world to discuss measures and agreements aimed at protecting the global climate.
COP30 will include several key sessions, such as the 30th Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC (COP30), the 20th Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP20), and the 7th Meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement (CMA7). Major discussion points will include the implementation of the new global climate finance goal, the review of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), and the promotion of a just and inclusive energy transition. In addition, the 62nd sessions of the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA62) and the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI62) will take place.
The Roadmap to COP30 and Mission 1.5°C
The Roadmap to COP30 and Mission 1.5°C
On 21 March 2024, the COP presidencies of COP28 (United Arab Emirates), COP29 (Azerbaijan), and COP30 (Brazil) jointly released a roadmap titled “Mission 1.5°C.”
This roadmap emphasizes the need for stronger international cooperation and the creation of enabling environments to enhance the ambition of the next round of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Its ultimate goal is to accelerate emission reductions and keep the 1.5°C target within reach, reinforcing global commitment to climate action.

Why is COP30 Important?
Why is COP30 Important?
COP30 represents a pivotal moment for international climate policy. By this point, all countries are expected to submit their new Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) that extend beyond 2030. Belém will therefore be the stage where the world decides whether it can stay on course toward net-zero emissions.
Key topics will include climate finance, biodiversity protection, sustainable land use, and a fair transition to a green economy. At the same time, the conference aims to highlight the Amazon rainforest as a symbol of hope and resilience — one of the planet’s most vital carbon sinks.
The Role of Youth
The Role of Youth
Young people will once again play a central role at COP30. Initiatives like Youth4Climate Action ensure that the voices of youth are represented and that their ideas and demands are integrated into the discussions.
Through social media, interviews, and direct engagement, the Climate Youth Delegates will keep the public informed about the negotiations and mobilize young people worldwide to take part in climate action.
COP30 will not only seek solutions to current challenges but also define a long-term roadmap for achieving global climate goals. It represents a unique opportunity for the international community to take ambitious, inclusive, and sustainable action — steering our planet toward a fairer and more resilient future.
