COP30 chair moots 10-year road map to move away from fossil fuels
COP30), is doubling down on accelerating the implementation of climate action. To this end, it has suggested setting up «additional governance structures» under the UN, «complimentary» to the existing process under UNFCCC, to follow up on commitments that have been made on climate action.
Explaining the rationale for complementary governance structures under the UN, Brazil's environment minister, Marina Silva, said, «Take the NDCs (nationally determined contributions or climate plans), these are meant to be reviewed every five years. Maybe this is not enough. We may need additional pieces to make global efforts more effective».
Silva said the rule book for the Paris Agreement has now been completely finalised. «We have a structured regime on which we can rely,» the minister said. «We have no choice to implement or else we will experience the unthinkable.»
To this end, Brazil is proposing that countries agree to finalise a 10-year roadmap for transitioning away from fossil fuels and ending deforestation.
Even as the Brazilian environment minister set out the imperative for action and the need for creating the mechanisms for supporting accelerated action, she acknowledged that the US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement will «slow down progress on climate action».
