COP30 in Brazil: World Leaders Discuss Old Failures, Set New Targets | Planet Pulse | N18G

World leaders, activists, and scientists have gathered in Belém, Brazil, for COP30 the 30th UN Climate Change Conference. The summit comes as the world faces record heat, rising emissions, and fast-melting ice. A key highlight so far is a new “Declaration on Information Integrity,” where ten countries pledged to fight climate misinformation. But protests outside the venue turned tense as Indigenous groups demanded stronger action to protect forests and local communities. Talks inside are focused on funding for poorer nations, new climate targets, and cutting super-pollutants like methane. With countries like the US skipping top-level representation, questions remain on whether COP30 will deliver real progress or just more promises.
