The COP30 UN Climate Summit concluded with the approval of a controversial climate agreement that lacked legally binding commitments to phase out fossil fuels. André Corrêa do Lago led the negotiations and presented non-official roadmaps on deforestation and fossil fuel phase-out, while Brazil launched a voluntary "implementation accelerator" for climate transition plans. The summit faced objections from countries like Colombia and environmental advocates such as Karin Lexén and Emma Wiesner, who criticized the weak commitments and procedural irregularities.
