New national climate plans from over 60 countries would cut global carbon emissions by only 10% by 2035 — just one-sixth of what’s needed to limit heating to 1.5C, a UN analysis shows.
UN climate chief Simon Stiell urged countries to “move faster” ahead of Cop30 in Belém, Brazil, next month. Major emitters like China and the EU have yet to submit updated plans, while Donald Trump has vowed to withdraw the US from the Paris Agreement again.
Experts warned that slow progress and weak pledges threaten global climate goals. Brazil plans to focus the summit on boosting financial support for developing nations and pressing countries to turn promises into real action.
