In this article, Dr Anil Pratap Singh analyses the outcomes of COP30 in Belém, highlighting the sharp divide between ambition and delivery, particularly on climate finance and mitigation. He explains how disagreements over the New Collective Quantified Goal, adaptation finance, and the Mitigation Work Programme exposed deep North–South tensions.
