6 main issues for COP 30 – and nuclear is no climate solution

Robyn Wood, 12 Nov 25

International climate change COP 30 has begun in Brazil, and will run for 2 weeks. We hope that the pro-nuker delegates won’t be successful in promoting nuclear power as a solution for climate change.

Here are the main issues to be covered according to the UN:

1. How to prevent runaway global warming

2. How to protect communities from climate impacts

3. How to make good on a trillion-dollar promise to developing countries

4. How to leverage creative solutions to the climate crisis

5. How to ensure fair and inclusive transitions

6. How to recapture the mojo of Paris

When the Paris Agreement was adopted in 2015, it brought with it hope that humanity could turn the tide against climate change. Without it, we’d be heading for 3-3.5°C degrees of warming. Today, we’re tracking closer to 2.3-2.5°C. The latter figure could still prove devastating for billions of people around the world.
