social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cLife on the planet, including our own, is only possible if we separate ourselves from oil, coal, and natural gas as energy sources; science has determined this, and I am not blind to science.<\/p>\n
\u201cColombia opposes a COP30 declaration that does not tell the world the scientific truth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla<\/h2>\n
\u201cWhile the results fell short of expectations, the Belem COP strengthens and demonstrates the importance of multilateralism in addressing major global challenges such as combating #climatechange,\u201d he wrote on X.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmong its key outcomes are the call for developed countries to provide climate finance for adaptation in developing countries, at least tripling current levels by 2035; the establishment of a mechanism to support our countries in just transitions; and the commitment from developed countries to fulfill their obligations under the Paris Agreement.\u201d<\/p>\n
China<\/h2>\n
\u201cI\u2019m happy with the outcome,\u201d Li Gao, head of China\u2019s delegation at COP30, told the AFP news agency.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe achieved this success in a very difficult situation, so it shows that the international community would like to show solidarity and make joint efforts to address climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alliance of Small Island States<\/h2>\n
A group representing the interests of 39 small island and low-lying coastal states described the deal as \u201cimperfect\u201d but said it nevertheless was a step towards \u201cprogress\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cUltimately, this is the push and pull of multilateralism. The opportunity for all countries to be heard and to listen to each other\u2019s perspectives, to collaborate, build bridges, and reach common ground,\u201d the Alliance of Small Island States said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Amnesty International<\/h2>\n
Ann Harrison, climate justice adviser at Amnesty International, noted that COP30 host Brazil had promised to make sure \u201cevery voice is heard and made strenuous efforts to broaden participation, which should be replicated\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cYet the lack of participatory, inclusive, and transparent negotiations left both civil society and Indigenous Peoples, who answered the global mutirao [working together] call in large numbers, out of the real decision making,\u201d Harrison said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Still, she said \u201cpeople power\u201d had helped achieve \u201ca commitment to develop a Just Transition mechanism that will streamline and coordinate ongoing and future efforts to protect the rights of workers, other individuals and communities affected by fossil fuel phase out\u201d.<\/p>\n
Oxfam<\/h2>\n
Viviana Santiago, executive director of Oxfam Brasil, said COP30 \u201coffered a spark of hope but far more heartbreak, as the ambition of global leaders continues to fall short of what is needed for a liveable planet\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cA truly just transition requires those who built their fortunes on fossil fuels to move first and fastest \u2013 and provide finance in the form of grants, not loans, so front-line communities can do the same. Instead, the poorest countries already in debt are being told to transition faster, with fewer funds,\u201d Santiago said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe spark of hope lies in the proposed Belem Action Mechanism, which puts workers\u2019 rights and justice at the centre of the shift away from fossil fuels. But without financing from rich countries, the just energy transition risks becoming stalled in many countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
