The COP30 Climate Conference, held from 10 to 21 November 2025 in Belém, Brazil, is considered one of the most significant climate conferences since the Paris Agreement. Ten years ago, 195 countries committed to global temperature reduction under the Paris Agreement, yet significant progress in implementation has not been achieved. Instead, global temperatures have already risen by 1.2 degrees Celsius, alongside an increase in climate driven disasters and damages. At the same time, climate finance has not increased according to need. Therefore, a key topic of discussion at this year's climate conference includes determining the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) to mobilize at least 300 billion dollars in annual climate finance. Additionally, the conference discussions will monitor progress toward the targets of tripling renewable energy and doubling energy efficiency by 2030, incorporating energy transition plans into national climate commitments, promoting green industry related strategies, and emphasizing the role of ‘indigenous’ communities in protecting natural resources and linking climate and nature. However, the increasing interests and unethical interference of fossil fuel company representatives in the decision making process of the climate conference have emerged as a major obstacle to the expansion of renewable energy. This is calling into question the credibility and effectiveness of the discussion process at the climate conference.
