The 30th World Climate Conference (COP30) in Belém, Brazil, finished after two weeks of negotiations with agreements on a new rainforest protection fund and a pledge by wealthy countries to increase adaptation assistance for poorer states. The fund will reward nations that preserve forests and impose sanctions for every hectare destroyed; it will be financed partly by private investors. Germany, Indonesia, and Norway have committed to substantial contributions. COP30 also confirmed a voluntary initiative to accelerate climate measures, but no binding plan for an exit from fossil fuels was reached. Officials noted that trade measures related to climate actions will be discussed in a three‑year dialogue with the World Trade Organization. The next conference, COP31, is scheduled for November 2026 in Antalya, Turkey.
