TRANSCRIPT: After running into overtime as usual, the year's biggest climate change conference, COP 30, ended late on Saturday. Held in the heart of the Amazon rainforest in Belem, Brazil. The conference was built as the COP of adaptation, the COP of implementation, marking a decade since the adoption of the Paris Agreement.

With the world hurtling towards 1.5° C warming, the pressure to act was more urgent than ever, especially to strengthen resilience of communities hardest hit by climate change. But apart from scaling adaptation finance, a major task was to agree on a set of indicators to measure progress under the global goal on adaptation or the GG. But with the conference happening amid intense geopolitical tensions and the absence of the world's biggest historical emitter, the US, there were concerns. So what really happened? 

After two weeks of intense negotiations among the 200 countries, the COP 30 agreed to a set of decisions under *amutedouttext* a Portuguese word meaning collective effort. The summit made a united call to triple adaptation finance by 2035 instead of 2030 that the developing nations wanted. 

The experts weren't too happy and called it a vague target, falling short of the urgent needs and far from what's needed. It was weak definitely with no clear baseline, lacked the guaranteed finance and basically was largely symbolic and aspirational. Yet it was accepted in the spirit of climate cooperation at a time when geopolitical tensions could have risked no outcome.

The set of adaptation indicators agreed upon also met with disapproval from many Latin American countries, forcing the COP president to even suspend the plenary for an hour. But since the decisions were already gathered through, the countries returned to the table with the assurance to work on these indicators next year. 

Meanwhile, the biggest elephant in the room, fossil fuels, once again escaped concrete action. Hardly surprising. Despite more than 80 countries demanding a fair and equitable road map to transition away from fossil fuels, COP 30 failed to adopt it due to intense lobbing from a few petrol states. 

The Brazilian COP presidency tried to strike a balance and launch these road maps in its own capacity. But with many countries yet to submit their updated climate action targets, experts also highlighted that the formal negotiations fell short of addressing the gap in national climate ambitions. But yes, for the first time, COP 30 also agreed to hold a series of dialogues on the trade within the UNFCCC or the for the first time, which experts said could bring attention to the unilateral measures like the EUC ban. Countries also agreed to develop a transition mechanism which was also supported by G77 and China to enhance international cooperation in this area. 

So was COP 30 an outcome that we should be happy about or was it just a compromise for climate cooperation? Well, experts agree that this deal wasn't perfect and it's far from what science requires at this point in time.

But at a time when the multilateralism is being tested, it was significant that countries continue to move forward together. India, which had pushed for an ambitious adaptation finance goal, also welcomed the outcome, calling it a complete package delicately crafted. The Indian delegate said at the plenary, "It's in our interest to ensure that the climate multilateralism succeeds and provides the right guidance to address global change and complemented the Brazil presidency for achieving a delicate balance on issues with some parties holding extreme positions.”

So in the end, as experts say, in a year where climate multilateralism or climate cooperation has been really challenged, getting a good deal at COP 30 was probably better than failing to get any deal at all. END OF TRANSCRIPT
