QUNO participated in the Conference of the Parties (COP30), held from 9โ23 November in Belรฉm, Brazil. Following the first report on QUNOโs activities at COP30 (available here), this second report provides an analysis of key areas of concern as well as positive outcomes observed during the conference.
This report explains why COP30 was far from an uneventful COP. Hosted in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, COP30 witnessed a renewed presence of civil society and Indigenous Peoples, intense protests spilling into the venue, and even a fire incident. Within the negotiation rooms, coordinated strategies of denial tried to silence language on fossil fuels, the latest climate science, the major drivers of greenhouse gas emissions, and even the recognition of human rights. However, at COP30, that thick wall of denial began to show cracks, emerging from different negotiation groups. By the end of the conference, participants observed early flowers blooming from these cracks in the form of emerging coalitions bringing together developed, developing, and least developed countries.
