Beyond the negative headlines, some truly good things came out of Cop30.

In this week’s newsletter: Ultimately, climate progress will come from
real-world action, and this year’s summit made some promising strides on
that front. ome commentators have called Cop30 a failure. An attempt to
insert plans for a route to the phaseout of fossil fuels into the legal
text was stymied, consideration of how to improve countries’
emissions-cutting plans was put off till next year, and although developing
countries got the tripling of finance for adaptation that they were
seeking, it will not be delivered in full until 2035 – and will come out
of already promised funds. Look beyond the headlines, however, and the Cop
achieved a great deal more. Take the outcome on fossil fuels – it seems
absurd, but until 2023 three decades of annual climate summits had failed
to address fossil fuels directly. More on the positives to come out of this
year’s climate conference, after this week’s most important reads.
