COP30 adopts Belém package without fossil fuel phase-out

195 parties adopted the Belém Package at the conclusion of COP30. The climate summit ended without a deal on a plan to phase out fossil fuels, but the Brazilian COP30 presidency pledged to oversee the creation of a roadmap on this issue. The presidency also committed to developing a roadmap for reversing deforestation. These roadmaps will sit outside COP negotiations, though countries and organizations will be invited to submit input, with progress to be reported at COP31 in late 2026

The decisions approved in the Belém Package also include a commitment to triple adaptation finance by 2035, highlighting the need for developed countries to substantially increase climate funding for developing nations. At least 80 countries, including EU members, the UK, Latin American nations, island states, and UN-designated Least Developed Countries (LDCs), had pushed for the COP30 text to address a transition away from fossil fuels. However, options for a roadmap on this issue did not make it into the final decision.

Instead, the main text agreed to launch a “Global Implementation Accelerator” and the “Belém Mission to 1.5”. These initiatives aim at “enabling ambition and implementation” of countries’ climate plans and at keeping the 1.5°C temperature limit of the Paris Agreement within reach. Other outcomes adopted, including workstreams on a just energy transition and a mitigation (emissions-cutting) work programme, did not mention a phase-out or transition away from fossil fuels.
