Post by COP30 Brazil

The COP30 Presidency received 444 contributions for the international roadmaps on fossil fuels and deforestation, following a consultation that closed earlier this month. The final documents are expected to be released before COP31, to be held from 9 to 20 November in Antalya, Turkey. The “COP30 Presidency roadmap for transitioning away from fossil fuels in energy systems, in a just, orderly and equitable manner, accelerating action in this critical decade, so as to achieve net zero by 2050 in keeping with the science” received 267 submissions from Parties, groups, and organizations. The “COP30 Presidency Roadmap on Halting and Reversing Deforestation and Forest Degradation by 2030” got 177 submissions. The consultation highlights the transparent, consultative process behind the Roadmaps. These non-mandated documents, prepared independently by the COP30 Presidency, stem from the debate President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva initiated in Belém on reducing dependence on fossil fuels. COP30 President André Corrêa do Lago thanked contributors, saying their inputs show strong interest in discussing these issues and advancing implementation of decisions from the first Global Stocktake of the Paris Agreement. https://lnkd.in/dj9VK9up
