*Brazilian diplomat André Corrêa do Lago, the president of the upcoming United Nations climate change conference (COP30), has released a new letter calling on all stakeholders, not only governments but also the private sector, to step up their efforts in the face of the global climate crisis. COP30, which Brazil will host this November, will mark ten years since the COP21 conference hosted by France, which led to the Paris Agreement aimed at limiting the global temperature rise to under two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, but preferably with a limit of 1.5 degrees. Corrêa do Lago’s latest open letter highlighted that 2025 will feature another global stocktake of the objectives that countries agreed upon a decade ago. His letter also detailed the 30 objectives organised into six pillars on which national and local governments, corporations, and civil society will review their progress. These six axes include: energy, industry, and transport; forests, oceans, and biodiversity; agriculture and food systems; building resilience for cities, infrastructure, and water; human and social development; and “unleashing enablers and accelerators” such as finance, technology, and capacity building.
