Earth is running out of time. Can COP30 deliver?

1 What's on the agenda?

The UN's annual climate change forum, the Conference of Parties or COP30, is being held during 1021 November this year in the heart of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. The agenda includes ensuring countries commit to lower emissions to limit the rise in global temperatures. It also aims to get historic polluters - today's rich nations to provide low-income countries with financial and technological support to reduce their emissions and counter the effects of climate change. "Climate finance is the lifeblood of climate action," UN climate change executive secretary Simon Stiell said in his opening remarks.
