Climate change

Release time:

2024-12-05

Nations have proposed urgent actions and strengthened existing agreements to tackle climate change. Regarding the Paris Agreement, the document reinforces the commitment to limit the global average temperature increase to below 2°C. And, although not guaranteeing it, the nations signal an effort toward an even more ambitious goal of limiting the increase to 1.5°C —which, according to the document, would have "significantly better" effects.

The Consensus also covered net greenhouse gas emissions. The group expects that by 2050, this pollutant will no longer be used by G20 countries. A goal to end plastic pollution by the end of this year was also presented.

For funding, the group has committed to promoting and encouraging public and private investments in Nature-Based Solutions. President Lula called on countries to take more concrete actions. "Everyone can do more," said the president.

The document also endorsed proposals from COPs 29 and 30. President Lula said this will be the last chance for effective actions capable of reducing the effects of climate change. "I count on everyone to make the Belém COP the Turning Point COP," said the president.
