                        Food is not a privilege. It is a right.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        Millions of Children and Seniors Will Go Hungry if SNAP Funding Stops. Congress Must Act.
                       
                 
           
                             Sign Now      
                 
           


                        Forty-two million Americans ? including children, seniors, and disabled people ? could see their food assistance slashed or stopped entirely this month. This is not just an administrative issue. It's a human rights emergency.



                        Sign the petition to demand that Congress and the USDA immediately restore and protect SNAP funding before hunger becomes the next national disaster.



                        SNAP benefits, commonly known as food stamps, are the backbone of America's fight against hunger. They keep millions of families fed, stabilize local economies, and even act as one of the country's fastest forms of economic stimulus ? generating $1.54 in economic activity for every dollar spent. In 2021 alone, SNAP lifted nearly 3 million people out of poverty. It's simple: children should not go to bed hungry because of political inaction. Sign now to demand immediate action to restore SNAP benefits and protect the right to food for every person in America.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 Thank you,

Subject: *[Enwl-eng] Hunted little bats
Message-ID: <assp.04011aaa88.B3ED4C45AE9F41F19AFBF1C79B3D4133@lewpostnew>

This Halloween trend is driving bats to endangerment.

          
                        This is beyond spooky ? painted woolly bats are being hunted so that consumers can buy their corpses as Halloween decorations. 

                        Tell Amazon to ban this grotesque trinket trade before the last of these stunning creatures disappear:

                         

                         Sign the petition 
                       
                 
            Painted woolly bats are selfless little forest guardians, helping to control pests and pollinate flowers ? but a sick Halloween trinkets trend is fueling demand for their bodies.

            They?re being kidnapped from their forest homes across south and south-east Asia, their dead bodies sold as frivolous Halloween decorations on platforms like Amazon. Horrifyingly, the demand from the US is the biggest threat to the species? survival! 

            We can turn this around.

            Etsy and eBay have already banned the sale of bats ? now we have a chance to take this pressure to boiling point and demand Amazon follow suit to stop this grotesque trinket trade.

            But they?ll only act if they can feel the heat from tens of thousands of us around the world.

            Tell Amazon to save painted woolly bats! 

            It?s totally macabre ? Amazon were found to be awash with the bodies of these little bats, some sold as jewelry or stuffed in jars. HUNDREDS of listings were discovered by researchers over a 12-week period and the majority of vendors were in the US.

            These stunning creatures known for their flaming orange and black wings are at particular risk of dying out because they reproduce so slowly, just one offspring at a time. But if we can build enough pressure on Amazon to stop selling them, demand for these creatures would take a massive hit and they could finally start to recover in the wild.

            At a time when species are disappearing at alarming speed, we have to do everything we can to save the precious wildlife we have left. This is our best chance to save these bats before it?s too late ? are you in?

            Sign the petition to save painted woolly bats. 


             Sign the petition 
            Thanks for all that you do,

                        A hero horse in Virginia helped save the day recently when it led authorities directly to a property with around 54 animals in desperate need of medical care and protection.

                        The horse had broken free and ran all the way to a local road, where it successfully attracted officials' attention. Once it knew they were paying attention, it led them back to where it came from: a barn and a garage filled with mistreated, starving animals.



                        Dogs, cats, roosters, and goats were being held on a property without sufficient food, water, or shelter ? and with signs of forced animal fighting.  Some animals were unable to stand, suffered from open sores, and intense hair loss. Bones were visible through skin because the animals had become so emaciated. Even worse, it seemed clear from their injuries that many of the animals ? especially dogs and roosters ? had been used in animal fighting competitions.

                        Now, thanks to the horse's assistance, all animals have been rescued and are undergoing veterinary treatment, and one man has been charged with animal cruelty and animal fighting.



                        Now we must demand an investigation into this animal fighting ring ? and authorities must also recognize the incredible efforts of this hero horse by giving it an equine key to the city! Sign the petition.

                        After years of tireless advocacy, a major victory for animal welfare is finally within reach: Ridglan Farms, one of the largest beagle-breeding facilities for laboratory testing in the United States, will shut down part of its operation. But there's a heartbreaking catch ? the facility still plans to sell its remaining 2,500 dogs to research labs before its July 2026 closure.



                        Sign the petition to demand that Wisconsin officials step in to ensure every remaining Ridglan Farms beagle is released to adoption programs, not sold to experiments.



                        These dogs have already suffered enough. Investigations revealed horrifying allegations: beagles kept in cramped cages, their eyelids and vocal cords cut without anesthesia, their paws blistered from standing in filth. These animals have known nothing but confinement and pain. Selling them to more labs would only extend their suffering. Sign now to demand that the 2,500 remaining beagles at Ridglan Farms be adopted into loving homes, not sold into more suffering.

      The rabbit?duck illusion (known since at least 1892) is an image that can be seen as either animal, depending on how one looks at it.

      But to experience the illusion, one must know both animals. If someone knows only the rabbit, for instance, they will never see the duck. To them, the picture will appear entirely unambiguous and consistent.

      Equally unambiguous and consistent sounds the recent public summary of the 112-page report ?State of Wildfires 2024?2025.? Below, I list the most relevant excerpts from that summary, with my emphasis:

        CLIMATE CHANGE DRIVING MORE INTENSE WILDFIRES, REPORT WARNS

        Severe heatwaves and droughts linked to human-driven climate change are making extreme wildfires increasingly frequent and destructive worldwide, according to the State of Wildfires 2024?25 report, co-led by ECMWF, the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, the UK Met Office and the University of East Anglia.

        Published in Earth System Science Data, the annual assessment provides mounting evidence that global warming is amplifying wildfire risk, with advanced satellite observations and modeling revealing that fires are now larger, longer lasting and more polluting than ever. ?

        In Southern California, January?s Los Angeles wildfires were estimated to be twice as likely and 25 times larger in today?s warmer climate than in a pre-industrial world. ?

        Report co-lead Dr Francesca Di Giuseppe of ECMWF explained, ?Climate change is not only creating more dangerous fire-prone weather conditions, but it is also influencing the rates at which vegetation grows and provides fuel for the fires to spread.

        ?Our analyses detected the critical role of both extreme weather and fuel in the Los Angeles fires, with unusually wet weather in the preceding 30 months contributing to strong vegetation growth and laying the perfect foundations for wildfires to occur when unusually hot and dry conditions arrived in January.? ?

        The report warns that without rapid global emissions cuts and improved land and fire management, extreme wildfire seasons like 2024?25 could become routine by century?s end. Land and fire management policies and practices can also help to mitigate damage.

        Report co-lead Dr Matt Jones of the University of East Anglia said, ?We urge world leaders at COP30 to make bold commitments to cut greenhouse gas emissions rapidly this decade. This is the single most powerful contribution that most developed nations can make to avoiding the worst impacts of extreme wildfires on living and future generations.?

      It is a familiar narrative: excessive atmospheric carbon leads to more fires, with the usual, inconsequential nod to land-use policy.

      Is a radically distinct perspective justifiable?
      Before turning to the alternative, it is worth emphasizing once again that land-use issues are indeed marginalized in climate reporting (I recommend Rob Lewis?s series on how land use came to be marginalized). Yet in this case, marginalization is not the whole story.

      From the account above, one can gather that, according to the scientific report, additional plant growth provides more fuel that later facilitates fires ? with Southern California given as an example. In the current U.S. context, this reinforces the notion that such ?extra fuel? must be eliminated through land-management practices such as preventive burning, which has been widely promoted in California.

             

      ?This beautiful, dense carpet of old-growth chaparral on the slopes of Santa Rosa Mountain in the San Bernardino National Chaparral (Forest) Preserve was scheduled for clearance and burning by the US Forest Service. We stopped them.? ? California Chaparral Institute

      However, in line with the ideas that I shared in ?Why it is important to read scientific papers beyond their abstracts, especially when it is about the role of CO2 in climate?, the report itself implies something very different. First of all, already the abstract states that

        In Southern California, the future trajectory of extreme fire likelihood remains highly uncertain due to poorly constrained climate?vegetation?fire interactions influencing fuel moisture, though our models suggest that risk may decline in future.

      That is to say, although global warming has allegedly doubled fire frequency in Southern California, further warming will not lead to more fires. How could that be? 

      The report clarifies that

        simulations suggest that increased tree cover driven by CO2 fertilisation under higher emissions scenarios (SSP585 and SSP370) may raise fuel loads while simultaneously increasing fuel moisture, with the overall effect being to reduce the likelihood of extreme fire events in our models.

      Again, compare this to what we read in the summary:

        ?unusually wet weather in the preceding 30 months contributing to strong vegetation growth and laying the perfect foundations for wildfires to occur when unusually hot and dry conditions arrived?

      At this point, the reader has every right to be confused. After all, is more vegetation in California good or bad for fire prevention?

      Understanding Ecological Succession
      To truly see the full picture, we must consider the laws of wild nature ? something almost entirely foreign to our urban civilization.

      When an ecosystem is disturbed ? but not yet murdered ? it does not descend into chaos. It enters a deliberate sequence known as ecological succession ? the ecosystem?s own process of healing and rebuilding itself, along with its environment and climate. Ignorance of this order is not merely academic; it distorts how we perceive our predicament and the very strategies by which we attempt to live within it.

             

      An example of ecological succession. Image source

      The image above shows ecological succession in a forest ecosystem. This recovery process is unique to each ecosystem, yet follows some general patterns. For our discussion today, what matters most is that 

      different stages of succession have different flammability.

      Immediately after a severe disturbance, such as a fire, little biomass remains and flammability is naturally low. This initial stage is dominated, on the plant side, by lichens, mosses, and herbs. Then, as the ecosystem strives to regain its biological power, shrubs and early-successional trees begin to appear. As succession advances, the so-called climax species re-establish, forming a gap mosaic of young and old trees that can persist on time scales far exceeding the lifespan of any individual tree. This is effective immortality.

      Flammability depends on the ecosystem?s capacity to store moisture and regulate the water cycle ? including through the biotic pump mechanism. At the early stages of succession, the priority is to rebuild biomass, while the ecosystem?s environmental control temporarily weakens. A fitting analogy is that of a sick person on leave: not yet contributing to society, but devoting energy to recovery. Once health is restored, the ability to perform useful work ? or, in nature?s case, to regulate climate ? is regained at full strength.

      Now an important point: just as a sick person is temporarily supported by the rest of society, a healing ecosystem depends on the environmental stability maintained by the biota of the surrounding intact areas. As long as the disturbed zone remains relatively small ? as it naturally tends to be ? the larger region retains its overall regulatory power, allowing the damaged area to recover safely within the protective framework of the whole.

      The inference is clear: when we humans disturb ecosystems on a large scale, their recovery inevitably passes through a stage of heightened flammability. But unlike in natural settings, there is no surrounding biotic support to stabilize the environment in a moist state ? the devastation is too vast. If, in our ecological ignorance, we continue to interfere at this vulnerable stage ? reducing ?fuel? through logging, burning, pesticides, and the rest of our ingenuity ? 

      we trap the system in a state of maximum flammability. 

      For as long as it remains alive, the ecosystem will strive to move beyond this phase of ecological succession toward the water-competent, climate-stabilizing climax state ? yet our actions keep it perpetually sick.

      If, on the other hand, we open our minds to the fundamental laws of ecology and protect the recovering ecosystem ? as the surrounding intact biota would naturally do ? from additional fires during its delicate, vulnerable stage, we will be rewarded. The result will be a resilient, water-competent native ecosystem with maximum moisture-storage capacity, an efficient biotic pump mechanism, and flammability reduced to its naturally low level.

      The State of Wildfires 2024?25 report never mentions ecological succession.

      Having outlined this conceptual sketch, in the next sections I will turn to supporting evidence and explore its implications for the global climate narrative ? to see the duck.

      Landscape trap
      The image below summarizes the multi-year research of Professor Lindenmayer and colleagues in Australian forests. It illustrates both the rabbit and the duck ? the interplay of changing climate and human pressure.

        a.. A key point in the figure is that early-successional, young forests exhibit higher flammability than native old-growth stands, despite the latter?s greater biomass. This aligns with results from North American forests, where protected areas ? with no fuel removal or prescribed burning ? were found to burn less severely than ?managed? stands subjected to preventive burning (Bradley et al. 2016).

             

      Figure 1 from Lindenmayer et al. 2022 describes how increased human pressure can lead to ecosystem collapse ? a ?landscape trap?

        a.. Another key point is the mention of the extensive old-growth forest (left panel) being replaced by an equally extensive, highly flammable young stand (right panel). While old-growth forest ensures environmental stability and supports the safe and rapid recovery of small burned patches, this regulation breaks down when the entire landscape is disturbed.

        b.. The left panel shows that without human disturbance, even under novel climatic conditions associated with global warming, the forest ? though experiencing high-severity fires ? retains its ecological integrity and spends only a brief period in the highly flammable stage, thanks to rapid natural regeneration. In contrast, the right panel illustrates that with human disturbance, the forest remains trapped in a highly flammable state, unable to complete succession, until it eventually degrades beyond recovery.

      Not only flammability, but also drought resilience declines with increasing anthropogenic disturbance. The figure below, from the global analysis by Xiao et al. 2023, shows an inverse relationship between human pressure and ecosystem resistance to drought stress (higher values indicate a more resilient system).

             

      Primary forests are more resilient to drought than secondary forests, older forests are more resilient than young stands, and heavily harvested forests tend to be less resilient than unharvested ones. Local studies confirm that primary, undisturbed forests are more resilient to drought than secondary forests (e.g., Wolf et al. 2023).

      Since about 90% of major forest fires in the U.S. are human-caused, there is enormous potential to reduce wildfire damage simply by working with people. Achieving zero ignitions may, in fact, be easier than cutting fossil fuel use by 100% to reach zero emissions.

             

      Left image: Nagy et al. 2018. Right image: The big tree was killed by a fire from an anthropogenic ignition, but the surrounding forest in the Clearwater Country in north-central Idaho is alive ? thanks largely to the efforts of Professor Chuck Pezeshki and his colleagues back then in the 1990s

      Finally, let?s not forget the global trend: primary ecosystems are increasingly being replaced by secondary ones ? effectively pushing the world?s biota backward along the successional axis, toward greater vulnerability and reduced resilience, figure from Makarieva et al. 2023):

             

      During the industrial era, CO2 concentration has grown, and primary ecosystems have declined, by approximately one half. We have been focused on carbon.

      The Duck
      How might a report and its summary look if our environmental thinking had taken a different course ? one that moved beyond carbon-centrism to focus on life from the very beginning?

      If the evidence we have just discussed (and many other similar studies) were not scattered randomly across the vast universe of scientific publishing, but instead woven into a coherent, life-centered framework for studying the living world of which we are a part, then perhaps the headlines we read today would sound more like this:

        HUMAN PRESSURE ON ECOSYSTEMS DRIVES MORE INTENSE WILDFIRES, REPORT WARNS

        New assessment links thinning and burning of recovering forests to rising flammability, stalled succession, and global ecological decline.

        Expanding land use, logging, and repeated disturbance are keeping ecosystems in a state of chronic recovery, and making them burn more easily, according to the State of Ecosystem Resilience 2024?25 report, co-led by the Institute for Biotic Regulation, the Centre for Wildland Recovery Research, and the Aurora Institute for Living Systems.

        Published in Journal of Applied Ecological Literacy, the study finds that human pressure, rather than temperature alone, explains the growing intensity of modern wildfires. Drawing on the concept of a ?landscape trap,? the authors show that repeated clearing, fragmentation, and forest thinning interrupt ecological succession, preventing ecosystems from reaching mature, moisture-competent, climate-regulating stages.

        Lead author Dr Patricia Forrester explained, ?When we thin or ?manage? recovering forests through preventive burning, we interrupt their own healing process. Young trees lose shade and moisture, the soil dries, and the ecosystem becomes trapped in a water-poor stage ? the ecological equivalent of a patient kept perpetually in rehab but never allowed to heal.?

        Co-author Prof Lin Shuiyuan added, ?We believe we?re reducing fuel, but in reality we?re dismantling the forest?s water engine, weakening the ecosystem?s drought resistance.? Co-author Dr Sylvia Spruce agreed: ?It?s not the planet that?s combustible, it?s our management philosophy.?

        The authors warn that increasing human pressure is globally pushing the biota toward earlier successional stages, where natural flammability is higher and water regulation weaker. Over time, this feedback can lead to regional drying and eventual ecological collapse, even under moderate climate stress.

        ?Global warming adds heat,? said report co-lead Prof Ignatius Burne, ?but the deeper issue is that we no longer let nature reach maturity. We?ve built a world of ecosystems forever recovering ? and nothing can recover forever without breaking down.?

        The report concludes with a call for a paradigm shift in forest and land management.

        ?We urge policymakers and land stewards to adopt zero-ignition, zero-deforestation, and proforestation strategies, minimizing anthropogenic disturbance during recovery phases,? said Dr Forrester. ?Allowing natural succession and continuous forest growth to reach their moisture-retentive, climax stages is the most effective pathway to lowering flammability, restoring hydrological regulation, and stabilizing regional climates.?

      The principle is simple:
      In difficult times, try to reduce ? rather than increase ? what you take from the forests.
      Their endurance is our own.

climate and sustainable agriculture.

                                This week, Tashkent expands its green zones 
and creates a ?green belt? to protect residents from heat and dust. In 
Ukraine, scientists study the war?s impact on the ecosystems of Kamianska 
Sich National Park. The Green Climate Fund has approved $250 million for 
glacier melt adaptation across Central Asia, the South Caucasus, and 
Pakistan.

                                The new Lancet Countdown report warns that 
heat-related deaths have risen by 23% since the 1990s, bird populations have 
declined by 61%, and Hurricane Melissa in the Caribbean became one of the 
most powerful in the region?s history.

                                At the end of this issue ? new opportunities 
for activists.

                                Best regards,

                                What Should the City of the Future Look 
Like?
                                By 2050, nearly 70% of the global population 
will live in cities, according to the UN. Urbanization brings both 
opportunities and risks ? from waste management and overburdened 
infrastructure to rising inequality and vulnerability to climate impacts.


                                When Climate Kills: The Lancet Countdown 
Report
                                Heat-related mortality has risen by 23% 
since the 1990s, claiming an average of 546,000 lives annually. The latest 
Lancet Countdown report, prepared with the WHO, warns that the climate 
crisis has become a major health threat, with droughts, wildfires, and food 
insecurity endangering millions.


                                61% of Bird Species in Decline ? Extinction 
Confirmed for Slender-Billed Curlew
                                The International Union for Conservation of 
Nature reports a record loss of bird populations: three out of five species 
worldwide are shrinking. The updated Red List confirms the extinction of the 
slender-billed curlew, once nesting in Western Siberia. Habitat loss from 
agriculture and deforestation remains the main driver.


                                Hurricane Melissa Among the Most Powerful 
Atlantic Storms on Record
                                Hurricane Melissa hit Jamaica and may become 
the strongest storm in Atlantic history. Scientists link its intensity 
directly to global warming: sea surface temperatures in the Caribbean are 
now 1.4?C above normal, making such extreme events up to 500 times more 
likely.

Protect the planet or bow down to Big Oil?



                        Brazil?s President Lula, once a climate champion, 
has been opening up the Amazon for oil drilling.

                        In just months, he?ll be hosting make or break 
climate talks ? let?s push Lula to seize this chance to protect nature and 
the climate.

                         Sign the petition


            When Lula took office, he promised zero deforestation in the 
Amazon and zero greenhouse gas emissions.

            Yet he?s caved into lobbying from oil companies, opening up the 
Amazon basin for drilling and allowing the construction of a mega-highway 
that will cut through miles of precious rainforest.

            But Lula still has a last chance to make good on his promises. 
In just over 100 days, Brazil will host the global climate talks ? and it?s 
a pivotal moment for Lula?s legacy, Brazil and the planet.

            To act boldly, to take on powerful corporate interests - oil, 
agriculture, mining - Lula needs the full force of a global movement behind 
him. Will you join the call:

            Lula: it's your last chance ? protect nature and the climate

            Lula wants to secure Brazil?s economic future for generations to 
come ? but the future doesn?t lie with companies driving the climate crisis. 
It lies in a just and sustainable transition that lifts people up without 
tearing nature down.

            Scientists warn that we?ll exceed the 1.5 degree climate target 
in two years. The window to stop dangerous climate change is closing 
rapidly. This moment was made for a bold and courageous leader.

            Lula?s legacy must be to respect Indigenous people and lands, 
halt drilling and mining and stop the destruction of the Amazon. Lula must 
show the rest of the world how it?s done ? ushering in a just and equitable 
transition, where everyone lives with dignity and security.

            Will you add your name and demand Lula delivers?

            Lula, the people and planet are counting on you ? it?s time to 
show the world how climate leadership is done.

            We?ve come together before to achieve the seemingly impossible 
task of taking on corporate giants ? like when we forced some of the world?s 
biggest insurance companies to stop bankrolling Total?s East African oil 
pipeline. Let?s show Lula we have his back as he stands up to corporate 
power again.


             Sign the petition
            Thanks for all that you do,
            Vicky, Vanessa, Rosa and the team at Ek?

                        Protect Spain's Rare White Lynx and Strengthen 
Conservation for the Entire Species



                             Sign Now




                        In southern Spain, a photographer captured something 
extraordinary: a white Iberian lynx, never before seen in the wild. 
Nicknamed "the white ghost of the Mediterranean forest," this lynx, named 
Satureja, is now the focus of international attention and scientific 
curiosity. But her appearance is also raising alarms about the future of her 
species and their environment.



                        Sign this petition to urge Spain's Ministry for the 
Ecological Transition to expand monitoring, strengthen habitat protections, 
and investigate environmental factors affecting the Iberian lynx and other 
vulnerable wildlife.



                        Researchers suspect Satureja's rare white coat may 
be linked to environmental factors ? a possible reaction to pollutants or 
ecosystem stress. While she continues to hunt and raise her young, her 
condition highlights how delicate the balance truly is for Iberian lynxes, 
who were nearly extinct just two decades ago. Every lynx is a sign of how 
resilient nature can be when given the chance to recover. Let's make sure 
the white lynx of Spain becomes a symbol of hope, not warning. Sign now to 
help protect the Iberian lynx and preserve the ecosystems they call home.




                 Thank you,

Mexico?s first ever dolphin sanctuary is within reach. Let?s make it happen.

            We have a once-in-a generation chance to release ALL of Mexico's 
captive dolphins imprisoned in cramped, dirty tanks into an underwater 
paradise ? but we have to move fast!

            Our partners are racing to create the first-EVER dolphin 
sanctuary in Mexico. It would give up to 300 dolphins a chance to recover 
from years of cruel abuse in concrete tanks and live out the rest of their 
lives in over *600,000 acres* of pristine ocean ? an area almost the size of 
Mauritius!

            But the dolphin captivity industry is trying to block this 
life-saving plan.

            Partners are urgently asking for our help to unleash a massive 
groundswell of pressure at this critical moment to make sure authorities 
greenlight this sanctuary.

            If all of us chip in, we could help partners pay for 
groundbreaking investigative work, expose illegal dolphinariums, and launch 
a wave of legal actions to make this sanctuary a reality ? then keep 
fighting to end all animal exploitation.

            We?re so close to setting the dolphins free ? can you rush a 
donation to help save the dolphins and all our most precious species?


            I'll donate $3
            I'll donate $4

            I'll donate $5
            I'll donate $9
            I'll donate another amount


            Dolphins are some of the most intelligent and social beings on 
Earth ? they use tools, form tight family and social bonds, and even can 
recognise themselves in the mirror! But these amazing animals? lives are 
being reduced to a horrific nightmare. Instead of swimming free in the wide 
ocean, hundreds are forced to perform tricks in tiny cages.

            Nearly 40,000 of us signed a petition that helped pass a new law 
banning dolphin shows, swim-with-dolphin programs, and the breeding of 
marine mammals in captivity. It was a huge victory ? but our work isn?t done 
yet.

            The dolphinarium industry is lobbying hard against a proposal to 
approve Mexico?s first-ever dolphin sanctuary in Quintana Roo, a tourism 
hotspot where many dolphins are located. This pristine sanctuary would use 
already-identified coastal areas that can be adapted to provide a safe, 
natural environment.

            We urgently need to show the state authorities now that there is 
massive global support for this dolphin sanctuary. So here?s the plan: first 
we?ll mobilize a wave of public pressure to show them that people in Mexico 
and around the world want dolphins freed ? not exploited.

            Then, our partner Animal Heroes can move ahead with plans to 
unleash huge actions in front of the State Congress and a dolphinarium to 
capture the attention of decision-makers and the media. And at the same 
time, we?ll help Animal Heroes document abuses inside existing 
dolphinariums, equip activists with cameras and legal support, and push the 
government to shut down the worst offenders.

            This is our chance to turn the tide on dolphin captivity in 
Mexico ? but only if we come together. Please, if you can, donate today to 
help expose the abusers, greenlight the sanctuary, and help make animal

                                Billionaires Won?t Save Us

                                LAST WEEK, two separate communication salvos were fired into the arena of environmental politics, each in their own way attempting to influence the upcoming United Nations?sponsored climate talks, COP30, that kick off November 10 in the Brazilian city of Bel?m.


                                One was a peer-reviewed article, published in the journal BioScience, that warned that global society is ?hurtling toward climate chaos.? The authors ? a who?s who of scientists including Peter Gleick, Michael Mann, William Ripple, and Johan Rockstr?m ? concluded that 22 of 34 ?planetary vital signs? are flashing red, and that ?the consequences of human-driven alterations of the climate are no longer future threats but are here now.? The second message was a 5,000-word memo from one of the world?s richest men that offered the supposedly soothing consolation that climate change ?will not lead to humanity?s demise.?


                                Guess which one received more attention?


                                Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates?s October 27 open letter predictably got the chattering classes chattering. After all, in the attention economy, a rich man?s pronouncements trump the detailed research of eminent scientists. And, just as predictably, the loudest voices of climate-science denial pounced on Gates?s words to assure us all that climate change is a big nothing burger. Although Gates had been careful to insist that climate change remains ?a serious problem,? his nuances were willfully overlooked.?


                                The Gates memo is the type of classic online manifesto that generates more heat than light, more uproar than insight. I?m reluctant to give the fire any more oxygen. But when someone who is worth more than $100 billion seeks to influence the highest level of global decision-making, that person?s views deserve as widespread and as detailed a parsing as possible.


                                Especially when that person is wrong.


                                Journalist and author Jason Dove Mark dives into the larger questions about the limits of elite-led climate action.

                                Many US federal employees haven?t been paid in nearly a month due to the government shutdown. In response, one resident of Grand Canyon Village started organizing to feed and support her local national park workers. Other communities are following suit.

                                ?The sea is constantly speaking,? says oceanography professor Shima Abadi, ?we just didn?t have the right instruments to listen.? A project in Washington State is working to change that by turning underwater fiber-optic cables into a network of ultrasensitive vibration sensors. If successful, the same cables that carry the internet could carry the sounds of marine species, and help us protect them.

                                Artificial intelligence (AI) is distorting all kinds of realities, including our perceptions of nature. Fake images ? say of a threatened tropical bird using its wing to shield three chicks ? can give false impressions about animal behavior or conservation status.

                              In this month?s edition: With COP30 just days away, we take a look at the renewed COP 30 Climate Action Agenda, linking 400+ climate initiatives (like forest finance, renewable grids, and more). Plus, how a decade of progress since Paris is shaping the road to Bel?m
                             
                       
                              The Countdown to COP30




                              With less than a week until the UN Climate Conference (COP 30) in Bel?m, Brazil, the recently released NDC Synthesis Report shows that global climate action is accelerating. The climate plans submitted by countries so far, combined with further analysis of climate plans announced up to publication of the Synthesis report, collectively project around a 10 per cent reduction in emissions, below 2019 levels, by 2035. 

                              ?

                              These findings landed just as Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica ? leaving widespread destruction, power outages and flooding ? a stark illustration of the escalating risks of a warming world. Climate action needs to accelerate to protect lives, livelihood and the prospects of a livable planet.




                              Critically, the NDC Synthesis report reveals that non-State actors - from business and investors, to cities, regions, and researchers - are playing a bigger role in delivering national climate plans. Reported involvement in implementation has surged by 20 per cent. Non-State actors are participating in the implementation of plans, via innovation, partnerships and investment mobilisation, among others.




                              Similarly, the recently released National Adaptation Plan (NAP) Synthesis Report revealed that nearly all developing nations are putting in place the foundation for building climate resilience ? through coordination mechanisms, financing strategies, and monitoring systems involving women, youth, Indigenous Peoples, and the private sector. But while the direction is clear, the report warns that progress must speed up, with far greater and better-targeted finance needed to turn plans into real protection on the ground.




                              Bridging Political Ambition and Real-world Delivery




                              Growing momentum from outside government mirrors a broader shift in the COP process itself. Alongside the negotiations, COP30 is elevating the Action Agenda ? a framework that draws in the ?whole of society? to deliver climate solutions. Thousands of companies, cities, governments, Indigenous Peoples, and financial institutions will be breaking through bottlenecks to scale ?real-world? climate solutions. Think of it as the bridge between political ambition and real-world delivery ? both sides working hand in hand. It doesn?t replace negotiations. It makes them stronger by ensuring that what?s promised at the political level actually turns into measurable progress on the ground.




                              For policymakers asking what modern multilateralism looks like in practice, and journalists seeking evidence that climate action can thrive amid political headwinds, the Action Agenda offers a showcase for collective ambition.




                              If the Action Agenda mechanism works ? if governments, cities, regions, businesses, and investors leave Bel?m with concrete partnerships, capital flows, and plans for delivery that roll out in the weeks following the conference ? then COP 30 will show how these summits can be launchpads for immediate action. Achieving resilient net zero communities is no longer about making new promises, but about delivering existing ones ? faster, fairer, and at a far greater scale.

                              Understanding the COP 30 Action Agenda: Systems Thinking at Scale




                              Think of the Action Agenda as the operating system that connects the key actors implementing climate solutions: the CEOs, governments, city planners, and investors moving billions and orchestrating supply chains that will power, feed, and insure the global economy. This collective energy has always existed, but now the Action Agenda is maturing.




                              The COP 30 Action Agenda includes six axes and 30 measurable objectives spanning energy, forests, agriculture, cities, human development, finance, and more. These weren't chosen arbitrarily: they target gaps identified by the first Global Stocktake, the UN's official assessment of climate progress.




                              How It Works: The Four-Step Activation Process




                                1.. Coordinate: Initiatives with similar goals are organized into ?Activation Groups,? ensuring they collaborate. 
                                2.. Measure: These initiatives feed into the UNFCCC's Global Climate Action Portal (NAZCA). The portal has significantly scaled-up in size since the COP30 Activation Groups kicked off this year, meaning a boost in tracking and accountability with the coordination of more than 400 major climate initiatives worldwide participating in the Activation Groups. 
                                3.. Showcase: Proven solutions are documented in the ?Granary of Solutions? database. 
                                4.. Scale: The most promising solutions are converted into Plans to Accelerate Solutions ? concrete roadmaps often led by governments themselves. 
                             
                       
                                  
                             
                       
                              Where We Stand, Ten Years After Paris




                              As the world prepares to gather in Bel?m, it?s worth taking stock of how far the world has come since the Paris Agreement and why this progress matters for what comes next.




                              Ten years on, the numbers tell a rare good-news story. Solar power didn?t just outperform expectations ? it obliterated them, expanding by more than 1,500% to become the cheapest source of electricity in history. Wind energy kept pace, and together renewables have now overtaken coal in global power generation. Clean electricity makes up more than 40% of the world?s supply.

                              The investment story is just as striking. For the first time, clean energy funding now outpaces fossil fuels by two to one. Electric vehicles ? once a niche technology ? account for one in five new car sales worldwide. Net zero targets now cover 83 per cent of the global economy.

                              Perhaps most significantly, global CO? emissions have barely risen ? up just 1.2 per cent since 2015, compared to an 18 per cent increase in the decade before Paris. 

                              This is the backdrop for COP 30: a decade of undeniable progress built on clear policy signals, growing cooperation, and accelerating innovation. None of this means the work is done. Emissions must still fall steeply, and fast. 




                              But the last decade offers an unmistakable lesson: policy signals matter. Cooperation works. The next decade?s challenge is not to prove that change is possible, but to finish the job.
                             
                       
                                  
                             
                       
                              Collaboration Key to 2030 Climate Goals, According to Breakthrough Agenda Report




                              ?The 2025 Breakthrough Agenda Report ? an annual collaboration between the International Energy Agency and the Climate High-Level Champions ? demonstrates why the Action Agenda's focus on coordination matters.




                              The 2025 edition finds that non-State actors (from countries, to companies, and global initiatives) can achieve far greater impact together by harmonising standards, aggregating demand, enabling trade, and mobilising finance than by acting alone. Examples from around the world highlight how cooperation works in practice: grid interconnections in Central America and Southeast Asia, zero-emission transport corridors in Europe and East Africa, and bilateral iron offtake agreements for steel decarbonisation between Namibia and Germany. These initiatives prove that cross-border coordination can reduce costs, enhance energy security, and de-risk investment in clean technologies.




                              Dan Ioschpe, COP 30 Climate High-Level Champion, said: ?We're in an era of implementation. The Breakthrough Agenda Report 2025 shows that international collaboration is essential to making sustainable technologies the most affordable and accessible option in all sectors and regions by 2030.?

                              A major milestone in global forest finance was recently reached, as the Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF) launched yesterday at the COP 30 Leaders? Summit in Bel?m. This flagship initiative of the COP 30 Action Agenda seeks to scale effective forest protection and restoration.




                              The TFFF is a Brazil-led partnership, supported by 11 founding countries, including the DRC, Colombia, France, Germany, Ghana, Indonesia, Malaysia, Norway, UAE, and the UK - and developed in partnership with Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities. 




                              Building on Brazil?s USD 1 billion commitment announced during New York Climate Week, the Facility envisions a USD 125 billion performance-based fund to reward measurable results in forest protection and restoration. Designed to complement existing international efforts, such as REDD+, the Loss and Damage Fund, and Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, the TFFF is a long-term investment model designed to deliver large-scale finance for standing and restored tropical forests. 




                              In recent weeks, the World Bank was confirmed as the trustee and host for the TFFF. ?The World Bank?s decision transforms the TFFF from an idea into a fully operational reality,? Brazilian Finance Minister Fernando Haddad said. Once operational, the TFFF could generate around USD 4 billion annually ? nearly triple the current volume of forest finance. 




                              With its governance framework now in place, the Facility is ready for countries to follow Brazil?s lead by making their own pledges. Private finance is also being called to the table to help shape this transformative new chapter in global forest investment, alongside philanthropy and civil society partners.




                              "Halting and reversing deforestation is fundamental to achieving global climate goals,? said COP30 Climate High-Level Champion, Dan Ioschpe. ?For too long, the immense value of standing tropical forests has been absent from the world?s balance sheet."
                             
                                  
                             
                              Baku Climate Action Week: A Cornerstone of Azerbaijan?s COP29 Legacy
                             
                                  
                             
                       
                              Led with energy and vision by COP 29 Climate High-Level Champion Nigar Arpadarai, Baku Climate Action Week (BCAW) gathered leaders from across government, business, and civil society to advance the Action Agenda?s mission to mobilize the ?whole of society? for climate solutions.




                              A cornerstone of Azerbaijan?s emerging COP 29 legacy, the week featured 46 events across 30 sectors, with strong engagement from major ministries and COP 29 President Mukhtar Babayev throughout.




                              A standout session on SMEs and climate resilience built the case for greater small-business engagement, with Jens Nielsen of the World Climate Foundation offering insights on scaling private-sector action.




                              Nigar Arpadarai commented:




                              ?Small and medium enterprises employ most of the world?s people. They carry ingenuity and resilience, yet too often they struggle for finance and recognition. Recognising this, last year we launched the Climate-Proofing SMEs campaign, which I?m proud to say now brings together partners reaching almost 90 million small businesses worldwide, and why we recently launched the second and third chapters of the SME Finance Sprint calling for major financial institutions to step up their support for SMEs in emerging economies.?
                             
                       
                                  
                             
                       
                              Race to Resilience: Regions Driving Impact Through the Action Agenda




                              Across the Action Agenda, Race to Resilience partners are demonstrating how climate solutions are being scaled from the ground up - led by Indigenous knowledge, regional innovation, and small-business collaboration.




                              RegionsAdapt - an initiative by Race to Resilience partner Regions4 - is coordinating collaboration between regional governments in Quebec, Ecuador, Mexico, and Brazil and local Indigenous Peoples to integrate traditional knowledge into modern adaptation planning. 




                              These efforts have so far placed 4,400 hectares under Indigenous co-management, engaged 900 people in co-designing biodiversity reserves, and revived three ancestral agricultural systems, strengthening both ecosystems and community resilience.

                              RegionsAdapt is also mobilizing subnational governments and SME, contributing to the Climate Proofing SMEs Campaign, across Latin America, Europe, Africa, and North America to build systemic resilience. To date, it has restored 10,000 hectares, mapped 500,000 for preservation, and unlocked over ?100 million in green SME credit - proof that adaptation can also drive economic opportunity.

                              ?A Race to Zero report released this week, Towards a Just Transition, calls for fairness and inclusion to be placed at the centre of the global net zero transition.

                              Reflecting two years of work within the Race to Zero community, it explores the barriers companies face and how they can overcome them.

                              The report emphasises that there is no single approach: different sectors, regions, and business models will require different routes. It urges governments, businesses, and investors to align climate action with social protection, skills development, and community-driven solutions ? ensuring that the shift to a green economy creates better jobs, shared prosperity, and leaves no one behind.

                        At the end of September, Donald Trump issued an executive order declaring antifa a "domestic terrorist organization."

                        The problem is, antifa is not a formally designated group. It's a decentralized movement opposing fascism ? it's literally short for anti-fascist. Antifa does not have meetings, membership cards, or even "members."

                        And the fact that no one is formally "in" antifa means that Trump's executive order could set a dangerous precedent for labeling any political dissident as a domestic terrorist.




                        It's worth noting that Trump never proposed a crackdown on white supremacist hate groups, despite the fact that right-wing extremists have killed many Americans in the past decade. In fact, research shows that the overwhelming majority of political violence in the United States comes from right-wing extremism. 



                        Trump is clearly cherry-picking evidence to create broad, sweeping crack downs against anyone who might oppose his extremist agenda. This sets an extremely dangerous precedent. Sign the petition now to tell the Trump Administration: reverse this executive order immediately!

                        Soci?t? G?n?rale breaks its own promises and fuels climate chaos.

                        The French banking giant is bankrolling Adani?s coal destruction while all other major banks have turned away from this notorious polluter.

                        It?s time we show Soci?t? G?n?rale that dirty coal is bad for business: Tell Soci?t? G?n?rale to stop sponsoring coal and Adani?s destruction.

                         Sign the petition 
                       
                 
            Soci?t? G?n?rale brags about its so-called coal ?exclusion policy?, but behind the scenes, it?s bankrolling one of the world's most corrupt, climate-wrecking coal giants: Adani.

            Rings a bell? Yes, it?s the same Adani Group convicted of bribery and fraud, trashing reefs, stealing Indigenous land, and suing journalists for telling the truth.

            The Washington Post recently exposed that major American and European banks are refusing to finance Adani, showing that the mobilisation against Adani is working, but Soci?t? G?n?rale seems to treat dirty coal as a business opportunity.

            Adani is in hot water, and there is no better time to corner Soci?t? G?n?rale, expose its complicity in environmental crimes, and make its hypocritical choice backfire?publicly.

            Tell Soci?t? G?n?rale: stop sponsoring coal and Adani?s destruction

            In 2020, Soci?t? G?n?rale made a clear commitment to "no longer provide products and services to companies that develop new mining projects, power plants or infrastructure related to thermal coal". Since then, media, activists and climate researchers have uncovered Adani?s plans to double its coal-power production; exposed its lies about its renewable energy targets; and revealed its routine transfer of its money from its green entity to coal operations.

            Still in 2024, Soci?t? G?n?rale underwrote a $409 million bond issue for Adani Green Energy. Soci?t? G?n?rale?s multi million-dollar arrangement for Adani has not only helped it burn record volumes of coal but also enabled the Adani Group to go after human rights defenders and journalists.

            Soci?t? G?n?rale?s loyalty for Adani is not forever. It can end where our collective power begins.

            Soci?t? G?n?rale really cares about its green image, and with enough public pressure, we can turn its decision of financing the world?s largest private coal mining group against them.

            Sign the petition to make Soci?t? G?n?rale cut off Adani?s money supply.

                              Today?s edition spotlights a wave of major announcements under the Climate Action Agenda: the Race to Resilience campaign reports that around 438 million people are now better protected from climate shocks; Brazil and the UAE offer an early look at AgriLLM, the world?s first open-source AI model for farmers; and some of the world?s leading development and technology institutions announce the Green Digital Action Hub, measuring tech?s true climate impact.
                             
                       
                              Monday 10th November 2025



                              Welcome to the ?Top of the COP? daily newsletter, brought to you by the Climate High-Level Champions.



                              This year?s UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Bel?m, Brazil unfolds in one of the regions most vulnerable to the crisis it seeks to solve. As delegates began arriving, torrential rains flooded Bel?m?s streets into rivers ? a reminder that climate change is no longer abstract but a lived reality, and adaptation has never been more urgent. Only days earlier, Hurricane Melissa tore across the Caribbean, its rainfall 16% heavier and winds 7% stronger due to human-induced warming, according to World Weather Attribution scientists.




                              These scenes of flooded cities and shattered coastlines set the stage for what?s unfolding in the next two weeks in Bel?m, where COP 30 is focusing on turning ambition into action ? and elevating the Action Agenda ? the ?whole-of-society? effort to accelerate implementation now.




                              Over the next fortnight, the Climate High-Level Champions will report live from COP 30, spotlighting new capital committed for climate action, partnerships tackling system-wide bottlenecks, and implementation blueprints ? all aimed at rewiring the global economy to embed climate action at its core.

                              Driving the Day



                              As COP 30 turns its focus today to adaptation and resilience, the timing could not be more urgent. From floods to fires, climate impacts are escalating faster than expected, causing over USD 250 billion in weather-related losses last year alone. Nearly three-quarters of national climate plans now include adaptation components ? but the challenge is turning those plans into bankable pipelines, and promises into protection for vulnerable people. 



                              Yet, new waves of digital innovation ? from early warning systems to smart agriculture ? are transforming how communities prepare for, withstand, and recover from shocks. 




                              Technology is emerging as a powerful ally in protecting people on the frontlines. Today?s Action Agenda announcements show how digital solutions can supercharge resilience, helping societies not only endure, but evolve, adapt and thrive in a changing climate. 



                              Nearly Half Billion People Now More Resilient via the Race to Resilience 




                              The Race to Resilience (RtR) campaign today unveils major progress towards its goal of helping four billion people to withstand climate impacts by 2030. 



                              RtR is the world?s first and largest campaign ? led by non-State actors, such as cities, regions, businesses, and civil society ? tracking resilience outcomes among people, nature and finance. Today it announces the following tangible proof that collective adaptation efforts are already improving lives and protecting livelihoods.




                                a.. Nearly 437.7 million people ? about one in every 18 people ? have become more resilient to climate shocks. 
                                b.. More than 18 million hectares of ecosystems ? about twice the size of Portugal ? have been protected, restored or better managed, across 78 countries. 
                                c.. USD 4.2 billion in funding for adaptation has been mobilized, signalling that investment in resilience is scaling. 



                              Why this matters:

                              In almost five years, RtR has united over 40 partners, with more than 1,700 members, in 164 countries. This growing movement includes 96 cities as part of Cities Race to Resilience, with Atlanta, USA, among the latest signatories. Additionally, 85 regions have joined the campaign through RegionsAdapt, including ABEMA (the Brazilian Association of State Environmental Entities) which represents Brazil?s 26 state secretariats and 24 autonomous agencies. 




                              Collectively, partners are driving solutions across all Axes of the COP30 Action Agenda from universal energy access, and resilient agri-food systems, to urban water security, and health infrastructure. RtR embodies the COP30 Presidency?s challenge to have climate action begin and end with people ? a theme set to define this year?s COP, with human resilience at the heart of global climate ambition.




                              Speaking from Bel?m, Dan Ioschpe, COP30 Climate High-Level Champion reflected on the urgency of climate adaptation, having witnessed first-hand the human and economic cost of intensifying climate catastrophes: ?Last year, my hometown, Porto Alegre, faced its worst flood in 80 years. Over 150,000 people lost their homes, with damages of about USD 18 billion. Building resilience to floods, droughts, and heatwaves is no longer a choice. It?s an imperative we must embed in everything we do.?



                              New Tools Take Root at COP 30: Brazil and UAE Preview AgriLLM as AIM for Scale Expands to 100 Million Farmers




                              Brazil and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), with support from 15+ global organisations including the Gates Foundation, Embrapa, CGIAR and ai71, today introduce ?AgriLLM? the world?s first open-source Large Language Model for agriculture. The model provides a shared foundation for governments and local organizations to create digital tools that empower farmers with locally relevant insights, enhancing their knowledge and decision-making.




                              At COP 30, AgriLLM is being presented to regional and international partners, demonstrating how open, collaborative AI can empower millions of farmers worldwide. Its full global launch is planned for December 2025 in UAE marking a major step toward a more inclusive, adaptive, and climate-smart future for agriculture. 




                              Separately, another UAE and Gates-funded initiative, the Agricultural Innovation Mechanism for Scale (AIM for Scale) has announced its plan to reach 100 million farmers with digital advisory services. These efforts aim to deliver science-based insights ? such as weather forecasts, pest advisories, or soil information ? directly to farmers, improving decision-making, productivity, and climate resilience at scale.




                              In line with this, this year, the Indian Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare delivered AI-based monsoon onset forecasts to 38 million farmers, up to 30 days in advance, enabling them to make timely decisions for the growing season. AIM for Scale provided catalytic support to scientific partners leading this work.




                              AIM for Scale was among the initiatives highlighted by the Gates Foundation earlier this week as part of its announcement to invest USD 1.4 billion over four years to expand access to innovations that help smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia adapt to extreme weather.




                              Why this matters:

                              Global crop yields are already down 4-13% in tropical regions and could fall another 8% by 2050. 

                              Together, AgriLLM and AIM for Scale are advancing information equity across developing countries, that help rural communities anticipate risks, adapt early, and protect harvests and livelihoods.




                              As Nigar Arpadarai, the Climate High-Level Champion for COP 29, put it: ?AI can help farmers predict droughts before they happen ? tools that could save lives and livelihoods. But if developing countries don?t have the data or the infrastructure to use these technologies, we risk deepening old inequalities with new tools.?



                              Green Digital Action Hub Provides a Platform to Measure Tech?s Climate Impact




                              Some of the world?s leading development and technology institutions today announced the creation of the Green Digital Action Hub (GDA Hub) ? a global platform designed to turn technology into a force for climate action.




                              The initiative brings together the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), the World Bank Group, the European Green Digital Coalition (EGDC), the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), the Coalition for Digital Environmental Sustainability (CODES), and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), working alongside the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). An International Advisory Board, co-led by Brazil and Saudi Arabia, will oversee progress to ensure the effort delivers real-world impact.




                              The GDA Hub builds on last year?s COP29 Declaration on Green Digital Action, endorsed by 82 countries and nearly 1,800 organizations.




                              Designed to accelerate the use of technology for sustainability, the hub will help countries and industries shrink the environmental footprint of the digital sector itself while expanding access to green digital solutions ? particularly in developing countries. Key priorities include launching an open-access portal to monitor greenhouse gas emissions, reductions, and e-waste data from tech companies and countries. It will also support innovation and technology transfer to help countries expand green digital strategies. The Hub will follow the International Telecommunication Union (ITU)?s globally recognized standards for measuring digital emissions. 




                              Why this matters: 

                              ?Digital innovation could cut global emissions by up to 20% by 2050, yet AI?s soaring energy demand rising 70% annually through 2027 risks offsetting those gains. The GDA Hub will ensure technology becomes a measurable driver of climate action, not a hidden source of emissions.
                             
                       
                                  
                             
                       
                              News In Brief:




                                a.. World?s First Digital Infrastructure for Climate Action Launches. A new global framework ? led by the Brazilian Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services, the Digital Public Goods Alliance, and The Institute of Technology and Society of Rio (ITS Rio) ? will help countries use Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) and Digital Public Goods (DPG) to drive climate action. The open source initiative will engage at least 30 countries across three continents, to apply open digital tools to strengthen disaster response, energy, water, and climate-resilient agriculture.

            Hello and welcome to the Ek? newsletter. Today we?re covering US inequality, the war in Ukraine, and the climate crisis.

            Dining out while the world burns
            Trump gorges himself as Americans go hungry.



            As lower income Americans see their benefits suspended due to the government shutdown, President Donald Trump and his wealthy friends have been partying like it?s 1791.

            Last week, they threw ?A Little Party Never Killed Anyone.? On Friday, attendees dined on filet mignon and held a raffle for vacations to resorts worth in the tens of thousands of dollars while listening to live opera.

            The out of touch nature of the event wasn?t lost on observers. And Trump?s administration is giving more tax breaks to the richest Americans even as SNAP benefits are drying up.

            ?It looks like Versailles in Mar-a-Lago.??Eugene Robinson

            (MSNBC) (HuffPost) (Daily Beast) (the New York Times)

            In other news
            Power struggles

            The war in Ukraine continues, as both sides are entrenched and attacks continue.

            Strikes from Russia have led Ukraine to cut electricity for the population on a daily basis. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drones are hitting Russian energy infrastructure as retaliation.

            ?These are our living conditions. It?s normal. We have fluctuations with electricity in Kyiv, like everywhere else.??Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy

            (Al Jazeera) (The Guardian) (The Guardian)

            Cop to it

            The COP30 climate conference faces an uphill battle to get commitments for real action on the environment.

            This year, the conference is being held in Brazil. The US is not sending any representatives at the federal level, though some state and local officials are attending.

            An ICJ ruling that nations of the world are duty bound to deal with the existential danger of climate change is likely to drive much of the conversation at the event.

            (The Guardian) (ABC News) (CNN)

            Damage, done

            The US has been hostile to climate action for decades, and the consequences are becoming clear.

            Almost one million people fled the northwest of the Philippines over the weekend ahead of super Typhoon Fung-wong making landfall. The powerful storm follows Tino earlier this month which also hit the archipelago nation.

            In countries like Indonesia, the dismantling of USAID is having deleterious effects on attempts to address the crisis.

            But the Trump administration isn?t done yet. The White House has been leaning on nations to curtail their efforts to address the environment, notably last month, when a landmark deal which would have cut emissions from cargo ships was scuttled due to Trump?s involvement.

            ?It was like a bunch of gangsters coming into the neighborhood and smashing windows and threatening shop owners.??Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-Rhode Island)

            (the New York Times) (NPR) (PBS)

            Here?s your campaign of the day.
            From controlling nuclear weapons, to replacing millions of jobs, to creating deadly viruses?unfettered AI development could have catastrophic consequences for us all.

            And it?s keeping top experts and scientists awake at night. 800 Nobel Laureates, CEOs, faith leaders and public figures have put their names behind a powerful new call to ban this advanced AI until it?s safe: the Statement on Superintelligence.

            That?s the foundation. Now it?s up to us to build a people powered campaign so big that our governments have to respond.

            Slow down, superintelligence


            Thanks for reading! 
            Eoin Higgins and the team at Ek?



            PS: In case you missed it earlier, here's the original email about this new project:

            ????????,

            Ek? is starting something new.

            For more than a decade, we?ve kept you informed about ways we can use our collective power to push back against corporate abuse and corruption. And we?ve had a massive impact, filing shareholder resolutions, changing policies, buying and protecting forests, and more.

            Now, we?re offering a different way to keep up to date on Ek??s campaigns and mission. It?s called Ek? News, and it?s a new project on the newsletter platform Substack.

            Sign Up Now! (It's free)

            To launch it, we?re working with Eoin Higgins, a US-based journalist whose work has focused on corporate corruption and power. His book, Owned: How Tech Billionaires on the Right Bought the Loudest Voices on the Left, delves into how Silicon Valley?s conservative lean has led to a takeover of alternative media?and offers a history of characters like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and others.

            Ek? News will publish twice a week, giving a digest of stories we?re following about corporate (mis)behaviour, and taking a deeper dive into one story or character from the news. We?ll also interview people making change and show you the impact of our work together.

            Please sign up today?we hope to see you there. (It?s free, but we?d love support for the new initiative and there will be an option for a paid subscription, too.)

                              Today?s edition spotlights the surge of subnational leadership driving global implementation. The CHAMP coalition breaks down intergovernmental siloes through an ambitious new governance framework backed by 78 members including the EU; under the Buildings Breakthrough, countries and companies launch global standards to transform how buildings are designed, financed, and delivered; the USD 1 billion No Organic Waste Partnership targets a 30% methane cut by 2030, while UNEP?s ?Beat the Heat Drive? supports 150 cities adapting to rising temperatures.
                             
                       
                              Tuesday 11 November 2025




                              Today, COP 30 turns its focus to subnationals ? the states, provinces, regions, cities and municipalities ? driving forward climate action at local levels. 




                              The spotlight comes as UN Climate Change and the Climate High-Level Champions today released the Yearbook of Global Climate Action 2025, which captures how implementation is gaining pace across the six axes of the Global Climate Action Agenda. ?Whole-of-society? action is accelerating, with 95% of countries now engaging cities, businesses, and civil society in implementing their national climate plans ? a 20% increase from the previous cycle of national climate plan submissions known as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). 




                              Building on this momentum, nearly 100 Plans to Accelerate Solutions ? prepared by initiatives participating in Activation Groups under the COP 30 Global Climate Action Agenda ? are now live on the UNFCCC website. These plans detail how coalitions of national and subnational governments, businesses, investors, and communities are scaling action across key systems, from food and energy to transport and resilience.

                              Despite experiencing the brunt of climate impacts, subnationals are proving to be effective implementers of climate solutions ? driving forward adaptation and resilience in an effort to protect infrastructure and livelihoods.




                              The numbers tell the story: C40, a network of 100 of the world?s largest and most influential cities, is cutting per-capita emissions five times faster than the global average. Similarly, the Under2 Coalition, representing more than 260 regions and 1.75?billion people, is aiming for 80?95?% greenhouse gas cuts by 2050. Last week, at the COP 30 Local Leaders Forum, 14,000 local governments offered to partner with national leaders on accelerating climate implementation. Additionally, 50 mayors launched new clean air targets to save 450,000 lives by 2040, alongside major accelerators on urban heat resilience and sustainable food systems.

                              Driving the Day 




                              Momentum is visible on every continent. Bogot? received the Earthshot Prize last week after slashing air pollution by 24%. Amsterdam?s Heat Transition Vision is shifting existing buildings away from fossil gas heating by 2040, while Quezon City is deploying e-vehicles expected to eliminate nearly all PM2.5 and NOx emissions by the end of 2025. 




                              ?I have not found any mayor who regrets going too fast [on climate action] and I don't know any city that's moving backwards,? said Eric Garcetti, former mayor of Los Angeles and C40?s ambassador for global climate diplomacy. ?Because when your people are choking on air pollution or are looking for quieter buses that emit less, they don?t care where you are on the political spectrum ? they want you to find solutions for their health and security.? 




                              And yet despite the commitment of local leaders, the scale of need is enormous. Developing-country cities alone will require over USD 147 billion annually for adaptation by 2030. Nearly 44% of all carbon pricing mechanisms operate at subnational level, yet the bulk of climate finance still flows through national channels. 



                              Here is a look at the top announcements from subnationals at COP30. 



                              From Local to Global: Governance Model Unlocks Finance for Local Climate Action



                              A first-of-its-kind governance framework launched today by the Coalition for High-Ambition Multilevel Partnerships (CHAMP) is set to make collaboration between national and local governments a core part of delivering the Paris Agreement.



                              With the recent endorsement of the European Union, CHAMP now counts 78 members ? the largest coordinated COP Presidency-led effort to boost collaboration between national and subnational governments, linking political commitment, institutional reform, and access to finance.



                              Brazil and Germany will co-chair CHAMP until 2027, kickstarting its shift from political commitment at COP 28 to practical delivery ? and towards the following goals by 2028: 



                                a.. 100 national climate strategies will include multilevel governance structures and mechanisms, rising to 120 by 2030. Currently, four out of five of the 64 NDCs submitted ahead of COP 30 specifically mention subnational governments ? a 19% increase over previous plans. About two-thirds explicitly include them as partners in planning, implementing, and monitoring climate action. 
                                b.. At least five annual CHAMP convenings will foster knowledge-sharing between national local and regional governments. 
                                c.. 6,000 public officials and practitioners will be trained through ongoing multilevel governance and climate action programmes around the world. 


                              According to Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC: ?CHAMP must now become part of how every country prepares and implements its climate plan ? aligning national vision with local execution?National governments commit to big infrastructure projects but local leaders want to see shovels in the ground.?



                              Why this matters:

                              Local governments don?t just implement ? they regulate, plan, tax, and mobilize capital. They also directly work on key sectors like transport, buildings, waste, and energy systems that account for the majority of global emissions. According to 78 CHAMP nations, stronger collaboration with subnational governments could close 40% of the emissions gap between current plans and a Paris-aligned pathway.



                              New Announcements Build the Foundations for International Cooperation on Sustainable Buildings




                              A wave of announcements land today accelerating the transition toward Near-Zero Emission and Resilient Buildings (NZERBs) and responsible construction ? as ministers meet for COP 30?s Intergovernmental Council for Buildings and Climate. 




                              Delivered under the Buildings Breakthrough, these announcements lay the foundations for stronger international cooperation, helping countries align standards, finance, and materials in the global race to decarbonise the built environment.




                              New progress includes:




                                a.. A common global language for buildings has now been established ? defining shared principles for sustainable and resilient construction, enabling countries to exchange data and best practices more effectively. Six countries ? Finland, Ghana, Kenya, Colombia, and two additional partners to be announced ? have endorsed the new Global Framework for Action on Public Procurement, embedding sustainability and circularity in government purchasing. 
                                b.. Complementing these efforts, more than 300 industry leaders and governments ? including Canada, Costa Rica, France, Switzerland, and the UK ? have united behind the Principles for Responsible Timber Construction, a first-of-its-kind framework embedding sustainably sourced wood into building codes, procurement, and investment frameworks worldwide. Substituting carbon-intensive materials like concrete and steel with responsibly sourced timber could cut lifecycle emissions by up to 60%, according to a UK study ? and, beyond slashing emissions, sustainable wood construction can also protect forests, create jobs, and meet rising housing needs. 
                                c.. 162 companies, cities, and regions ? covering 25,000 buildings and USD 400 billion in annual turnover ? announced that they cut over 850,000 tonnes of CO? in 2024 through the WorldGBC Net Zero Carbon Buildings Commitment, surpassing 1 million tonnes reduced in total. More than half have lowered emissions intensity and nearly 60% report lower energy use, proving that clear targets drive real, scalable impact. 



                              Why this matters:

                              Buildings account for over a third of global energy-related CO? emissions ? and the global built floor area is projected to double by 2060, especially in developing countries. The scale of transformation required is immense, and cooperation across borders is essential to make progress faster, fairer, and more coordinated.




                              By strengthening countries? ability to exchange knowledge, information, and data ? and by improving how capital flows into the sector ? these new initiatives promise to transform how buildings are designed, financed, and delivered.




                              Turning Waste Into Climate Action




                              A new global effort launched today to tackle one of the fastest-growing sources of methane: organic waste. The No Organic Waste (NOW) Partnership for Accelerated Solutions commits to cutting 30% of methane emissions from organic waste (a short-term pollutant) by 2030, while transforming discarded food into climate action, nutrition, and livelihoods. Currently, food loss and waste generate 8-10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, almost five times the total emissions from the aviation sector. Additionally, global households waste one billion meals of edible food every day, while 783 million people go hungry, with economic losses equivalent to 1 trillion USD.




                              Backed by USD 1 billion in blended finance, NOW will recover 20 million tonnes of surplus food each year, feed 50 million people, and formally integrate 1 million waste workers into the circular economy. Already, 25 cities across 18 countries have engaged, implementing methane-reduction targets. The initiative?s next phase will scale city pilots, composting hubs, and foodbank networks. It will also document impact to inform national strategies and donor engagement.




                              Why this matters:

                              NOW combines climate action with social impact. By turning food into bio-resource for communities, the initiative reduces emissions while creating green jobs and improving access to food through redistribution. Verified reductions in methane emissions will also unlock new funding opportunities such as access to SDG-linked loans and climate finance under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, helping cities and countries scale their efforts. 




                              Greening Cities to Beat the Heat: A Global Plan for Urban Climate Resilience




                              As record-breaking temperatures push cities to their limits, a new global effort is taking action to cool urban areas and protect vulnerable communities. Greening Cities to Beat the Heat, a flagship initiative co-led by UNEP and the COP 30 Presidency, is launching the ?Beat the Heat Implementation Drive? ? a coordinated push to help cities adapt to extreme heat through nature-based solutions and urban forestry.




                              The plan will support over 150 cities in developing local heat action and greening plans, reducing heat risks for 3.5 billion people by 2030. It will also embed cooling strategies into 50 national adaptation frameworks, ensuring that climate resilience becomes a cornerstone of-term urban planning.




                              Why this matters:

                              ?From expanding urban tree cover and restoring wetlands to creating shaded public spaces and green roofs, this effort strengthens collaboration between national and local governments ? promoting equity, public health, and climate resilience where it?s needed most.
                             
                       
                                  
                             
                       
                              News In Brief:




                                a.. USD 20 Billion Flows into Climate Resilient Water in Latin America. By 2030, USD 20 billion will be mobilized for climate-resilient water investments through the new ?Latin America & Caribbean Water Investment Programme.? The initiative is led by the Economic Commission for Latin America & the Caribbean (ECLAC), the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF) and the Global Water Partnership (GWP). Investments will include projects to secure drinking water supplies, modernize irrigation systems, and strengthen flood and drought resilience. 
                                b.. Brazil Accelerates Freight Decarbonization with Landmark e-Dutra Electric Truck Corridor. Sixteen leading companies, supported by the Brazilian government at the national and local level, have joined the Laneshift e-Dutra project ? a major step toward electrifying freight transport along the Rio de Janeiro?S?o Paulo corridor, one of Latin America?s busiest highways. The initiative will deploy 1,000 electric trucks and charging stations by 2030, with the potential to procure several thousand more vehicles over the same period. Replacing diesel fleets at this scale could avoid 75,000 metric tonnes of CO? emissions annually ? equivalent to taking 16,000 cars off the road.

                        Regulations to stop this danger must be put in place now.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        ChatGPT Allegedly Pushed a Child Toward Suicide. CEO Sam Altman Seems to Care More About Profit.

                        Trigger Warning: This petition discusses suicide and suicidal intent.



                        More than one million people every week show suicidal intent when using ChatGPT, the most commonly used chatbot in the country. And tragically, some of the users act on this intent, including a 16-year-old boy who spent months using the chatbot before dying by suicide in April of 2025. According to the child's family, at one point, ChatGPT even helped him write a suicide note and encouraged him not to talk to his parents about his feelings. 



                        Sign the petition to tell Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI and ChatGPT: put people over profits and protect users from enabling self-harm!



                        In the past, if someone expressed suicidal intent to ChatGPT, OpenAI's guidelines had the chatbot respond with: "I can't answer that." But in May 2024, as part of the company's strategy to maximize engagement, everything changed. Now, ChatGPT does not respond with outright refusal, but instead has changed to be "supportive, empathetic, and understanding." But robots aren't conscious, and this approach seems to have led to a child's death. ChatGPT is enabling mental health issues, putting actual lives in danger, and must immediately end a conversation if someone expresses suicidal intent. Sign the petition now if you agree!

                                Dear subscribers,

                                The COP30 has opened in Bel?m, Brazil, bringing together world leaders, scientists, and activists. Meanwhile, presidents of all five Central Asian states skipped the Climate Leaders Summit before COP30 to meet with Donald Trump at the White House.

                                Across the region, women are driving green initiatives in the water and energy sectors, Armenian youth are shaping the national climate agenda, and Tajikistan is developing a low-carbon development strategy.

                                Protests at COP30 highlighted tensions over the exclusion of Indigenous peoples and civil society from negotiations, while the IEA reported that fossil fuel use is set to peak before 2030 even as clean energy rapidly expands.

                                At the end of this issue ? new opportunities for activists.

                                Best regards,
                                CAN EECCA Communications Manager

                                COP30 Opens in Brazil?s Bel?m
                                From November 10 to 21, global leaders, scientists, and activists are gathering in Bel?m, Brazil, for COP30 ? the annual UN climate conference focused on accelerating global action to limit warming.

                                Protests at COP30: Clashes between activists and security in Bel?m
                                Activists, including representatives of Indigenous peoples, broke into the negotiation zone to protest the exclusion of local communities from decision-making. Clashes with security guards occurred, causing minor injuries and highlighting growing tensions over civil society participation in climate negotiations. 
                                Global fossil fuel use to peak before 2030 ? IEA
                                The IEA report presented at COP30 shows coal consumption is already near its peak, oil is expected to peak around 2030, and gas by 2035. At the same time, clean energy use is projected to grow rapidly: solar by 344%, wind by 178%, and nuclear by 39% by 2035. Even under current policies, global warming could reach 2.5?C by the end of the century.
                                Fossil Fuel Giants Still Obstruct UN Climate Talks
                                A new report from Kick Big Polluters Out shows that representatives of 180 oil and gas companies participated in COP26?COP29 negotiations. These corporations, responsible for nearly 60% of global fossil fuel production, continue to influence UN climate processes and delay emissions reductions.

                                Central Asian Leaders Meet Trump Instead of Attending COP30
                                On the opening day of COP30, the presidents of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan met Donald Trump at the White House. The U.S. itself did not send delegates to the climate summit ? a move highlighting the widening gap between global climate diplomacy and geopolitical maneuvering.

                                People with Disabilities Overlooked in Central Asia?s Climate Policies
                                Floods and heatwaves in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan leave thousands of people with disabilities without evacuation plans or access to shelters. A World Bank study found that emergency systems fail to consider their needs, and their participation in local decision-making remains minimal.

                                Desertification in Southern Russia Reduces Crop Yields
                                In Russia?s Rostov region, 17.5% of land is now desertified, cutting grain harvests from 130 million tons in 2024 to 105 million in 2025. Severe drought and dust storms from the east are worsening the impact of the climate crisis.

                                Women Lead Green Transformation in Central Asia
                                A regional dialogue titled Women in Water and Energy took place in Bishkek, bringing together participants from five Central Asian countries. Discussions highlighted how women?s leadership strengthens cooperation, innovation, and climate resilience across the region.

                                Uzbekistan?s Energy Paradox: Economic Growth Fueled by Dirty Air
                                Tashkent continues to suffer from some of the highest air pollution levels in the region, with over 3,000 deaths annually linked to fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Despite promises of ?green reforms,? the country remains one of Eurasia?s most energy-intensive economies, while weak oversight and illegal logging worsen the crisis.

                                From Vulnerability to Vision: Armenian Youth Shape Climate Action
                                More than 100 young Armenians gathered at LCOY 2025 to develop a National Youth Statement on inclusion, adaptation, and climate education. The document, to be presented at COP30 and to local authorities, calls for stronger climate justice and local participation.

                                Tajikistan Develops Long-Term Low-Carbon Strategy
                                Tajikistan has launched work on a national strategy for low-emission development ? a roadmap for transitioning to a carbon-neutral, sustainable economy aligned with the Paris Agreement and updated NDC commitments.

                                According to UNEP, fewer than one-third of countries had updated their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) by September 2025. The projected global temperature rise remains between 2.3?2.5?C ? still far above the 1.5?C target and posing major risks to people, economies, and ecosystems.

                                2025 Becomes a Year of Climate Extremes
                                Earth continues to break heat records in 2025, with average global temperatures 1.42?C above pre-industrial levels. Polar ice is shrinking, glaciers are losing mass, and extreme weather ? from heatwaves to floods and wildfires ? is causing mounting damage to lives and livelihoods. The World Meteorological Organization calls for urgent, large-scale action to keep warming below 1.5?C by century?s end.

                              Reimagining climate action ? with people at the centre



                              Today?s Top of the COP spotlights the people powering the transition ? from a new global plan to upskill workers in 20+ countries, as well as thousands of women and youth. Plus, culture takes the stage at COP 30, as new initiatives aim to protect 3,000 heritage sites and shift EURO 500 million in ad budgets toward climate-positive storytelling.
                             
                       
                                  
                             
                              Wednesday 12 November 2025 



                              Welcome to the Top of the COP daily newsletter, a recap of the day?s Climate Action Agenda highlights, brought to you by the Climate High-Level Champions.




                              As COP 30 kicks off Day 3 in Bel?m, the conversation turns squarely toward the human side of the transition ? the workers, educators, storytellers, and innovators shaping the new climate economy. Today?s announcements come from Axis 5 of the Climate Action agenda which seeks to ?foster human and social development.? 




                              The focus begins with skills and education. According to LinkedIN?s 2025 Climate Talent Stocktake, workers with green skills are 47% more likely to be hired than the global average. Green jobs span all sectors ? from manufacturing, to the creative industries and media, to employment in renewables - which has surged to 16 million, up 18% in just one year. Nearly 60% of countries now plan to embed ?just transition? measures like green skills training, social protection, and funding for vulnerable communities into their climate plans.




                              ?We can?t solve the climate crisis without getting the right people into the right roles and right now, we?re leaving too much talent on the sidelines,? said Kristy Drutman, COP Impact Maker and founder of the Green Jobs Board, which connects over 150,000 job seekers with 700+ climate-focused organizations. 




                              Drutman recalls watching people in the Philippines weave plastic bags into purses and fishermen teaching sustainable practices passed down through generations. ?These weren't people with environmental degrees or access to ?green jobs?...That taught me that climate work isn't just for people who fit a certain mould, it's for everyone, and we need everyone.? 




                              The cultural cost and opportunity of climate change




                              Yet the imbalance extends beyond skills to the very systems that hold communities together. UNESCO warns that one in three natural heritage sites and one in six cultural sites are already threatened by climate change. Rising seas have damaged the Moai statues of Rapa Nui (Easter Island) while floods have damaged over 130 cultural sites in China. When culture erodes and livelihoods and languages disappear, the cost of climate change can no longer be measured in dollars alone.


                              But culture can be a powerful driver of solutions too. From sustainable fashion to climate storytelling, green skills are increasingly needed. The creative industries ? film, design, music, media, art ? have the power to attract millions of people who care deeply about the planet and want to apply their craft to mobilize public imagination and help people see themselves in the transition.




                              Today?s featured initiatives are a reimagining of what climate action looks like when people stand at its centre. From upskilling women and youth to safeguarding cultural heritage and rethinking the stories that shape our collective imagination, this is what a just transition looks like in motion.

                              Countries Back Global Initiative to Upskill Workers for Rising Green Economy




                              The Global Initiative for Jobs & Skills for the New Economy lands today ? a coordinated effort to prevent a looming talent crisis that threatens to derail the net-zero transition.




                              Led by GIZ, the Germany-based development agency; the World Resources Institute, Systemiq, the Ares Charitable Foundation, and the NDC Partnership, the initiative will help countries embed workforce and skills development into their national climate plans while mobilizing public and private finance through shared investment mechanisms and climate funds. By 2028, it aims to unite over 20 countries and 40 global institutions in an ?Engagement Community on Jobs & Skills for the New Economy.? Initial country studies in Kenya, Pakistan, and Brazil are already identifying opportunities in sectors from renewable energy and transport to green agriculture and low-carbon construction.




                              ?A people-centred transition is both a moral imperative and an economic necessity,? said Jochen Flasbarth, State Secretary at the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, Germany. ?Social protection, opportunities for retraining and job transition policies are key to ensuring that climate ambition remains both politically and socially sustainable?.




                              This new global drive follows a year of groundwork since COP 29, including the first comprehensive global assessment of the transition?s implications for jobs, skills, and social impacts.




                              Why this matters:

                              The timing is urgent: At the current pace, the world will face a shortfall of nearly one-fifth of the green talent needed by 2030. By 2050, that gap could swell to more than 100%, leaving employers without half the workforce required to drive the net zero transition. Green jobs are booming across sectors. The construction sector now sees one in five job postings demanding green skills, while technology, information, and media saw the fastest growth in demand: jobs requiring green skills jumped 60% between 2023 and 2024, driven by AI expansion.




                              Plan to Empower Women and Youth to Lead a Just Transition Gathers Pace




                              A new plan to accelerate skills development for women and youth is building on programmes already underway across Africa, Asia-Pacific, and the Americas. It seeks to scale up existing efforts such as The Green Jobs for Youth Pact which is piloting green skills programs in Latin America and running capacity-building projects in Cuba, Madagascar, and Senegal. Additionally, UNIDO?s Global Cleantech Innovation programme supports women entrepreneurs across eight countries, and the Global Network of Sustainable Energy Centres is building the capacity of women and youth through its network of regional sustainable energy centres.




                              The new plan spearheaded by the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), with support from partners including Care About Climate, and Student Energy, consolidates these successes under a single framework and scales them with measurable targets. 




                              By 2030, it aims to equip 3,000 women and youth with future-ready green skills, support 6,000 youth-led clean energy and climate initiatives, and facilitate 500 job placements, mentorships, and internships. It also seeks to integrate gender- and youth-responsive measures into at least three national or regional policy frameworks and reach 50,000 people through advocacy and storytelling campaigns.




                              Speaking from Bel?m, Nigar Arpadarai, COP 29 Climate High Level Champion said: ?We need to close the green skills gap to give young people the best possible future. Education, empowerment, and decision-making power ? that's what we owe them, and that's what will drive this transition forward."



                              Culture Takes the Stage: Mobilizing the Power of Culture




                              Culture ? from heritage and the arts, films, TV to advertising and media ? has the power to make climate action not just necessary, but desirable, memorable, and shared.




                              From heritage sites to global advertising campaigns, culture is stepping into the spotlight as one of the most powerful drivers of transformation. Across COP 30, this shift is becoming visible through new initiatives that connect creativity, identity, and resilience ? embedding climate action in the stories that define who we are and what we value.




                              Three key announcements demonstrate this trend: 




                                a.. Brazil is spearheading a global effort to integrate cultural heritage into National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), with partners such as UNESCO and the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS). This initiative is designed to protect the traditions, knowledge, and assets of vulnerable communities while strengthening local resilience, for example, through mapping and protecting heritage sites. 
                                b.. The Heritage Adapts Coalition, led by Preserving Legacies and supported by the National Geographic Society, unveiled plans for 3,000 cultural heritage sites and practices to implement climate adaptation strategies by 2030. This campaign will be backed by an online Community of Action platform linking museums, libraries, heritage experts, and local custodians to share knowledge and accelerate adaptation. 
                                c.. Meanwhile, the creative industries are stepping up. The launch of the Creative Integrity Playbook: How Agencies and Brands Align Influence with Climate Science aims to bring 250 brands and 1,000 agencies to embed fossil-free procurement, narrative integrity, and regenerative storytelling across all their work. Together with the Cultural Power: Narratives for Change campaign, this movement aims to retrain 20,000 practitioners, engage 500 brands, and shift EURO 500 million in advertising budgets from high-carbon messaging to climate-positive storytelling - reaching over 10 million citizens through pop culture, libraries, and public campaigns. Watch the campaign video here. 
                             
                       
                                  
                             
                       
                              News In Brief




                                a.. Bel?m Declaration on Hunger, Poverty and Human Centred Climate Action ? At the COP 30 Leaders? Summit, leaders from 43 countries and the European Union adopted the Bel?m Declaration on Hunger, Poverty, and Human-Centered Climate Action, placing the world?s most vulnerable populations at the heart of global climate policy. The declaration urges countries to invest in people-centered measures like expanding social protection coverage by 2% per year, providing support for small-scale farmers, and building community resilience. The declaration also calls for increased climate finance for adaptation measures, such as crop insurance, without decreasing funding for climate mitigation. 
                                b.. The Just Resilience Action Platform (JRAP) ? led by Regions4 with support from the Scottish Government, CONGOPE, Nature4Climate, the Global Covenant of Mayors, and Race to Resilience ? aims to connect local projects with the finance and partnerships they need to protect people and nature. Backed by an initial ?100,000 from Scotland, the Platform includes plans to scale up investment and accelerate action, from mangrove restoration in Senegal to rewarding Indigenous peoples and small farmers in Brazil. 
                                c.. Three years into implementation, the Early Warnings for All (EW4All) initiative reports that over 60% of countries now have Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems (MHEWS), with strong progress in least developed countries and clear evidence of life-saving impacts. A major milestone includes the Green Climate Fund?s $103.2 million grant to expand early warning systems in seven climate-vulnerable countries, reaching 78 million people. The upcoming 2025 EW4All Report, to be launched at COP 30, will outline six priorities ? from leveraging big data and making warnings impact-based, to scaling community-led systems and securing predictable, long-term investment ? calling for sustained government leadership backed by international and private partners.

      Inaction is making the crisis worse

      Hello and welcome to the Ek? newsletter. 

      Heating up
             

      There has been ?little to no measurable progress? in the warming projections from the Climate Action Tracker in the last four years, the group said in its November report. 

      Effects of the climate crisis, from storms in the Philippines to drought in Iran, are getting harder to ignore. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian even warned that if the crisis in the country gets worse, the city of Tehran may need to be evacuated. 

      Governments and private industry are not taking the threat of the climate crisis seriously, CAT said, and not one of the 40 countries the group monitor has updated their 2030 emissions target. CAT blamed the US for rolling back its commitments and China and the EU for not taking action to address their role in emissions. 

      ?Global progress is stalling,? CAT wrote, noting that ?while the Paris Agreement has spurred important action, the pace of change remains far too slow.?

      The danger is real, CAT allies said. 

      ?The consequences of delay go beyond lost time: instead of building momentum, it fuels doubt and erodes trust in the process.??Ana Missirliu, NewClimate Institute

      (Climate Action Tracker) (Al Jazeera)

      In other news
      But his emails

      Emails released this week indicate that US President Donald Trump was closer to sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein than previously revealed. In the emails, which have caused an international stir, Epstein refers to Trump on multiple occasions. 

      Other elites, like economist Larry Summers, as well as Trump?s current ambassador to Turkey, appear in the emails, which were released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee. 

      But it?s Trump whose role is getting the most attention, with a number of messages from Epstein referring to the president staying with him and spending time with the young women who were often on hand. 

      The White House has tried to downplay the connection between the two men. 

      ?Of course he knew about the girls.??Jeffrey Epstein, about Trump, in an email to writer Michael Wolff

      (The Guardian) (New York Times)

      War time?

      Escalating tensions in India and Pakistan, punctuated by terror attacks in both countries, are pushing the two nations closer to war. 

      A car bomb went off in Delhi this week, killing eight, and a suicide attack in Islamabad killed at least 12. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that further attacks would be treated as acts of war even as his government angrily denounced claims that India was behind the Afghanistan militants they blamed for the latter blast.

      Kids under pressure

      Children have seen increased rates of hypertension in the last two decades, according to a new Lancet report. 

      ?In 2000, about 3.4% of boys and 3% of girls had hypertension,? Dr. Peige Song, a School of Public Health at Zhejiang University School of Medicine in China researcher and report co-author, told CNN. ?By 2020, those numbers had risen to 6.5% and 5.8% respectively.?

      Possible causes for the rise include higher rates of obesity, more screen time, and a sedentary lifestyle?all of which help fuel corporate profits. 

      ?The nearly two-fold increase in childhood high blood pressure over 20 years should raise alarm bells for health care providers and caregivers.??Professor Igor Rudan, Director of the Center for Global Health Research at The Usher Institute, University of Edinburgh

      (Lancet) (CNN) (Medical XPress)

      Here?s your campaign of the day
             

        Right now Sarawak?s native forests are being torn down to make way for a giant monoculture plantation of bamboo?a project that could devastate ecosystems and local communities for generations to come.

        The forests are home to the Kayan, Kenyah, Lahanan, Ukit and Penan Indigenous communities who have cared for the land for generations. Now, plantation giant Rich Venture is completely disregarding their land rights and failing to properly consult them.

        But Indigenous communities are fighting back. They?re in talks with the Sarawak Government and hoping to meet with the Premier very soon. We must act fast to back them and shine a global spotlight on this devastation?before even more of their ancestral forests are lost.

      Stop the bulldozers

                              In the news today at COP 30:

                              FINI announces a global drive to develop project pipelines of USD 1 trillion in climate adaptation and resilience by 2028. Brazil launches the Bel?m Health Action Plan with an initial USD 300 million commitment to protect communities from heat, disease, and air pollution; Additionally, USD 5.4 million in grants target regenerative school meals while a global effort seeks to halve food waste by 2030.

                              ?

                              Welcome to Top of the COP, a daily recap of the Climate Action Agenda highlights, brought to you by the Climate High-Level Champions. 
                             
                       
                              Driving the Day:




                              Climate change stops being abstract the moment it affects your health, your child's classroom, or the food on your table. Today at COP 30, the focus turns to some of the top Global Climate Action Agenda announcements which are helping the world move from scattered emergency responses to integrated systems that put people first.




                              The numbers as they stand right now are dire: The WHO projects an additional 250,000 deaths every year by the 2030s from climate-driven diseases such as malaria, diarrhoea, and coastal flooding. The climate crisis threatens to undo half a century of progress in global health and poverty reduction, deepening inequalities within and between countries. In 2023, people endured, on average, 50 more days of health-threatening heat, while over 700,000 child deaths in 2021 were linked to air pollution. Already, 930 million people ? one in eight globally ? spend at least 10% of their income on health care, and 100 million are pushed into poverty every year by medical costs. 




                              But today?s announcements show that these numbers can be turned around. Adaptation and resilience are being built where it matters most ? in hospital wards preparing for heatwaves, in school cafeterias serving locally-grown meals, in early warning systems that turn climate data into lifesaving action. And crucially the money is starting to follow.






                              Drive to Develop Project Pipelines of USD 1 Trillion for National Adaptation Plans by 2028

                              ?


                              Today?s launch of the Fostering Investible National Planning and Implementation (FINI) for Adaptation & Resilience tackles the toughest question about adaptation: how to pay for it. 




                              Led by the Atlantic Council?s Climate Resilience Center and the Natural Resources Defense Council, FINI aims to turn National Adaptation Plans ? country-level roadmaps that outline how nations will prepare for and respond to climate impacts ? from policy documents into investable plans that can attract real, large-scale funding from the private sector. 




                              FINI will identify vulnerable assets, assess the value of building resilience, and connect the right type of finance to the right projects.




                              The goal: develop project pipelines of USD 1 trillion in adaptation investment pipelines by 2028, with 20% coming from private investors, plus USD 500 million from multilateral agencies and philanthropies for risk assessment and to build local capacity for implementation. Additionally, it aims for a 25% rise in pre-arranged finance.




                              The initiative brings together a vast collaboration: countries like Colombia, Peru; multilateral banks including the Asian Development Bank, IDB Invest; insurers such as Zurich, Howden and the Insurance Development Forum; investors like Gawa Capital, Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change, the Lightsmith Group; global organizations and coalitions like UNDP, the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative, CDRI, V20, Global Green Growth Institute; philanthropies including the Gates Foundation, European Climate Foundation; and data leaders like S&P Global.




                              Why this matters:

                              Most developing countries remain unprepared for intensifying climate impacts. Less than 5% of global climate finance supports adaptation. As of early 2025, 64 countries have submitted National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), but many are lacking investment-ready projects. NAPs are key to unleashing the epic transformative power of investing in climate resilience. They are the blueprints for stronger economies, more resilient societies, and faster progress right across the SDGs. FINI represents a major shift in how the world finances adaptation ? from fragmented, short-term funding to long-term investment in resilience. FINI aims to make adaptation truly investable, delivering tangible resilience returns for people and the planet. 



                              New Bel?m Health Action Plan Gets USD 300 Million Commitment




                              One of the biggest announcements taking centre stage today is the launch of the Brazilian-led Bel?m Health Action Plan ? the world?s first international climate adaptation plan dedicated entirely to health. The plan lays out concrete actions to help countries monitor and respond to the growing health threats of climate change, from heat stress and dengue to air pollution and mental health.




                                a.. The plan launches with an initial USD 300 million investment from the Climate and Health Funders Coalition, a group of more than 35 philanthropies. The money will fund research, policies, and solutions tackling extreme heat, air pollution, and infectious diseases. It will also strengthen health systems through the integration of critical climate data. Committed funders include Bloomberg Philanthropies, Children?s Investment Fund Foundation, Gates Foundation, IKEA Foundation, Quadrature Climate Foundation, The Rockefeller Foundation, Philanthropy Asia Alliance (by Temasek Trust), and Wellcome. 
                                b.. The plan also brings together the Cool Cities Accelerator (a new Rockefeller Foundation and C40 partnership) which is helping cities set and fund targets to protect residents from extreme heat. Also under the umbrella is an $11.5 million investment from earlier this year by The Rockefeller Foundation and Wellcome Trust to the WHO?WMO Climate and Health Joint Programme, which will help create new health?meteorology units across 7+ countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. 



                              ?We are calling for a global effort to protect the health of vulnerable people, reinforcing health systems preparedness to cope with extreme heat, floods, droughts, and other emergencies?, said Brazil?s Minister of Health, Dr. Alexandre Padilha.




                              Why this matters:

                              Climate change is already amplifying health risks. Yet fewer than one in three countries currently have climate-informed health systems. Brazil?s plan creates a model for coordinated global action ? linking climate science, public health, and finance ? to safeguard lives and livelihoods in a warming world.

                                         

                              From Soil to Schools: Rockefeller Invests USD 5 Million in Brazil?s Regenerative Future



                              The Rockefeller Foundation has announced USD 5.4 million in new grants to strengthen Brazil?s food systems by linking regenerative agriculture with the country?s world-leading National School Feeding Program (PNAE).




                              The investment will empower 12 partner organizations ? including Instituto Clima e Sociedade (ICS), Instituto Arapya? and Instituto Comida do Amanh? ? to work with smallholder farmers to regenerate soils, boost biodiversity, revitalize rural economies, and bring healthy, locally sourced meals to schoolchildren across Brazil.




                              For example, Instituto Clima e Sociedade (ICS) is running a project to connect smallholder and family farmers with PRONAF, one of the world?s largest rural credit programmes, to advance agroecological production as a bioeconomy solution. The initiative trains youth and women to access financing, supports farmer-to-farmer learning, and helps schools source fresh, local, and healthy food from Brazilian producers.




                              ?Supporting farmers and unlocking finance is foundational to our big bet on regenerative school meals ? one of the world?s most powerful tools for improving children?s lives, building local economies, and sustaining the planet,? said Elizabeth Yee, Executive Vice President of The Rockefeller Foundation.




                              Rockefeller is a member of a Plan to Accelerate Solutions on regenerative agriculture ? advancing healthy soil and healthy diets, along with key partners such as the Coalition of Action for Soil Health, the Global Alliance for the Future of Food, and the East African Farmers Federation.




                              Why it matters: 

                              Brazil?s PNAE already directs 30% of federal school meal funds to smallholder farmers, a share set to rise to 45% in 2026. Rockefeller?s investment advances its global goal of transforming food systems ? including reaching 100 million children worldwide with nutritious, regeneratively produced school meals.




                              A Global Recipe for Halving Food Waste by 2030




                              A new initiative launched today aims to halve global food waste by 2030, cut methane emissions by up to seven per cent, and reduce hunger worldwide. The Food Waste Breakthrough, a 2030 Climate Solution led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) under the Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action, unites governments, cities, and civil society to tackle one of the most overlooked drivers of climate change.




                              A USD 3 million Global Environment Facility grant, will kickstart the initiative: building capacity, and funding data and policy innovation. It will also scale local food waste prevention and methane reduction solutions such as community composting and food recovery networks in developing countries. 




                              ?The world wastes an unforgivable amount of food each year, in every country, rich and poor,? said Inger Andersen, UNEP Executive Director. ?Reducing this food waste is key to addressing hunger and cutting methane emissions from landfills.? 




                              Why this matters:

                              The world wastes over one billion tonnes of food every year, contributing up to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. It accounts for up to 14% of methane emissions ? a short-lived climate pollutant that is 84 times more potent at warming the atmosphere than carbon dioxide over 20 years. As food waste also equates to a financial loss of USD 1 trillion per year, the Food Waste Breakthrough offers one of the most cost-effective, scalable, and high-impact solutions to tackle climate and hunger.
                             
                       
                                  
                             
                       
                              News In Brief

                              ?

                                a.. UNESCO Launches Global Report Card for Green Schools: UNESCO and partners launched a new Global Education Partnership dashboard to track and drive progress on integrating climate literacy into classrooms worldwide. The tool will help the GEP?s 97 member countries to ?green? 100,000 schools by 2030, by measuring impact, knowledge sharing, and scaling education for sustainable development everywhere. 
                                b.. Global Coalition Forms to Unlock USD 50 Billion for High Integrity Carbon Markets: 10 countries ? including Kenya, Singapore, the UK, France, and Panama ? have endorsed the Coalition to Grow Carbon Markets, with new Shared Principles that set a global benchmark for credible, transparent carbon credit use. Developed with WBCSD, ICC, the World Bank, and GFANZ, the Coalition aims to harmonize public and private markets, restore trust, and unlock up to USD 50 billion a year in high-integrity climate finance for people and nature. 
                                c.. Changing Lanes: COP Showcase Maps Road to Halving Emissions. A sector showcase today reveals that shifting to public transport, walking, cycling, and rail freight ? combined with electrification ? can halve urban transport emissions by 2030. To deliver on this potential, The International Association of Public Transport (UITP) has committed to doubling its global training efforts and launching the first annual ?World Public Transport Day from 2026?, building the professional capacity and public support needed to expand sustainable mobility across 100 countries. 
                                d.. And in case you missed it: 13 countries signed the Declaration on Information Integrity on Climate Change on Wednesday ? the first formal pledge by countries to combat climate disinformation. The declaration was launched at COP 30 with signatories so far including Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Uruguay, Netherlands and Belgium. Through the declaration, signatories commit to uphold reliable science, strengthen media freedom, and build resilient, rights-based information ecosystems to counter climate misinformation worldwide.

                              Driving the Day:



                              Two years ago at COP28, the first Global Stocktake of climate progress led nearly 200 countries to call for tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030. It marked real ambition ? acknowledgment that transition is possible. Solar panels and wind turbines are getting cheaper and more efficient every year. The technology works. So why isn't the world on track?




                              Countries are building renewable energy faster than they can connect it to the grid. Right now, at least 3,000 GW of renewable projects ? enough to power billions of homes ? are sitting in connection queues, waiting years just to plug in. In the United States alone, the backlog is more than twice the size of the entire existing power system.




                              It's like manufacturing electric cars faster than building charging stations, or installing solar panels faster than wiring them into homes. The clean energy is ready, but the infrastructure to deliver it? Not even close.




                              To triple renewables by 2030, the world needs to add or upgrade 80 million kilometres of power grids. Countries need to deploy 1,500 GW of energy storage to manage the sun-doesn't-always-shine problem. And all this has to happen while current grid projects take 5-15 years to complete, compared to just 1-2 years for the solar and wind farms waiting to connect. Unfortunately, grid investments have stayed flat while renewable investments have doubled.




                              In response, 65 countries and 46 non-state actors, including the Utilities for Net Zero Alliance (UNEZA), endorsed the Global Energy Storage and Grids Pledge last year at COP 29, committing to deploy that 1,500 GW of storage and build 25 million kilometres of new grid infrastructure by 2030.




                              But grids are just one piece of the puzzle. Even with unlimited clean electricity, roughly one-third of global emissions come from sectors that can't easily electrify ? aviation, shipping, steel, cement. These industries need sustainable fuels and entirely new production processes. They also need the infrastructure and market signals to make the economics work.




                              But here's the good news: the infrastructure is finally coming together. Today's announcements show the pieces falling into place: a trillion-dollar pipeline for grids and storage, a quadrupling of sustainable fuels by 2035, and developing countries leading the race on industrial decarbonisation. 




                              Under Axis 1 of the Global Climate Action Agenda, and based on the gaps identified by the first Global Stocktake (the UN?s progress report on climate action) the foundations of a modern clean energy system are coming together at speed.




                              Which sets the stage for today's announcements.



                              USD 1 Trillion Pipeline for Clean Energy and Grids by 2030




                              The Utilities for Net Zero Alliance (UNEZA) ? a coalition of the world?s leading utilities established at COP28 ? today raised its annual investment target to USD 148 billion, up nearly 30% from USD 117 billion announced just last year. Now members will invest USD 66 billion per year in renewables and USD 82 billion in grids and storage. This acceleration directly supports the COP 29 Global Grids and Storage Pledge and the need to triple renewable power identified under the first Global Stocktake at COP 28.




                              All together, UNEZA members will invest around USD 1 trillion to expand clean energy, modernise global power grids and deploy energy storage by 2030.




                              But here's the reality: USD 148 billion per year is a major step forward, but it's not enough. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the world needs between USD 791-912 billion per year in grid investment between now and 2030 to meet system transformation needs. That's why UNEZA isn't just increasing its own investment ? it's working with partners to unlock far more capital from other sources.




                              Grid financing principles, developed by the Green Grids Initiative and UNEZA and endorsed by the COP 30 Presidency under the ?Plan to Accelerate the Expansion and Resilience of Power Grids?, are designed to mobilise climate and development finance for grids in emerging economies. These principles are already backed by major institutions including the Asian Development Bank, African Development Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, British International Investment, and Climate Bonds Initiative.



                              Already there are immediate plans to support grid development in emerging economies:




                                a.. The Asian Development Bank and World Bank announced USD 12.5 billion in combined financing to strengthen the ASEAN Power Grid. 
                                b.. The Inter-American Development Bank launched the Power Transmission Acceleration Platform for Latin America and the Caribbean, with Germany committing EUR 15 million to support grid expansion and modernization. This includes funding for 16 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, known as RECLAC, targeting at least 80% renewable electricity by 2030". 



                              Why this matters:

                              UNEZA members will more than triple their combined renewable energy capacity by 2030 compared with 2023 levels, while delivering tens of thousands of kilometres of new and upgraded grid infrastructure. Last year alone, UNEZA members built enough new grids to stretch from Bel?m to New Zealand, and enough new renewables capacity to meet half the peak demand of India. But to close the full investment gap, governments, multilateral development banks, and private investors must step up alongside utilities. The financing principles provide the framework to make that happen.




                              Speaking from Bel?m, Dan Ioschpe, COP 30 Climate High-Level Champion said: "We need to move beyond just building more wires to a systemic transformation. COP 28 set the goal to triple renewables. COP 29 acknowledged grids were the bottleneck. Now at COP 30, utilities and related infrastructure providers are putting forward a solid implementation plan with the resources to back it, creating the mechanisms for delivery."



                              Belem 4x Launched: Quadrupling Sustainable Fuels by 2035



                              Countries and companies launched the Belem Commitment for Sustainable Fuels (?Belem 4x?), pledging to quadruple production and use of sustainable fuels by 2035 for hard-to-abate sectors such as aviation, shipping, steel and cement. One month after its launch, the pledge has already been endorsed by 23 countries: Andorra, Armenia, Belarus, Brazil, Cabo Verde, Canada, Chile, Guatemala, Guinea, India, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Maldives, Mexico, Mozambique, Myanmar, the Netherlands, Panama, the DPRK, Sudan, UAE, and Zambia.




                              But here's what makes this different from past pledges: it comes with a concrete plan for implementation. Led by the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM), the plan focuses on three things: creating actual demand for sustainable fuels (not just aspirational goals), establishing transparent carbon accounting so investors know what they're buying, and building the physical infrastructure and trade corridors to move fuels at scale.




                              It is complemented by sector-specific efforts that in the past had been working in silos: the Hydrogen Breakthrough, the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Plans, Maritime Decarbonization Plans, and industrial decarbonisation initiatives, including Chemicals. Instead of each sector figuring out sustainable fuels on its own, they're now coordinating supply, demand, and infrastructure under one umbrella.




                              Real-world momentum is already visible: shipping-giant Maersk announced plans to operate 41 methanol-enabled vessels by 2027, including the first large dual-fuel retrofit, with offtake agreements for 500,000 tonnes of green methanol annually from 2026.




                              Andrew Hoare, Global Head of Marine Systems & Green Shipping at Fortescue commented on the announcement from aboard the Green Pioneer: ?The Bel?m 4X Pledge recognises that the market for green fuels is here. The Green Pioneer, the world?s first ammonia-fuelled ship berthed here in Bel?m proves that zero emission shipping isn?t theory anymore, it?s happening?.




                              Why this matters:

                              The global economy will not reach net zero without transforming hard-to-abate sectors that drive roughly one-third of emissions. Today, sustainable fuels are moving from pilots to real markets: Shipowners have ordered an increasing number of zero-emission capable vessels, new mandates for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) use are driving up production, and innovative financing mechanisms, such as intermediary markets, are derisking new fuel supply.




                              The Industrial Decarbonisation Race is Underway




                              Sustainable fuels solve the problem of powering ships and planes. But what about making the steel for those ships, or the cement for the airports they fly from? Heavy industry presents a different challenge: it's not just about finding clean fuel, it's about transforming entire production processes that have relied on coal and high heat for centuries.




                              ?That's where the third piece of today's announcements comes in.




                              The Bel?m Declaration on Global Green Industrialisation launched today provides a framework for countries, especially in developing economies, to place green industrialisation at the centre of their economic strategy.




                              Instead of treating heavy industry as a ?hard-to-abate? problem, the Declaration positions it as a driver of opportunity ? bringing together industrial decarbonisation, new clean-technology markets, and inclusive economic growth under one coordinated approach.




                              The initiative is being driven by a core group of countries including Brazil, the United Kingdom and South Africa, with support from UNIDO, as well as industry and research partners. By creating a mechanism to align initiatives, track progress, and coordinate priority actions, the Bel?m Declaration establishes green industrialisation as a global priority. It also positions developing countries at the forefront of building clean industries ? from green steel to solar PV cells.




                              Why this matters: 

                              ?The Bel?m Declaration arrives just as the real economy is embracing green industrialisation: New analysis released ahead of COP30 by the Mission Possible Partnership reveals that globally USD 140 billion in finance for clean industrial projects is nearing final investment decisions, and 1,000 commercial-scale plants are now planned or operational. The same report finds that over a third of new projects identified are located in Emerging Markets and Developing Economies, representing a USD 2 trillion investment opportunity.
                             
                       
                                  
                             
                       
                              News In Brief

                              ?

                                a.. Under the COP 30 Presidency and Climate Action Agenda, the efforts on implementation to build a pathway to overcome fossil fuels dependency is accelerating across multiple fronts. The Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA) presented a Plan to Accelerate Solutions for countries developing coal transition roadmaps, while the Beyond Oil & Gas Alliance (BOGA) unveiled its plan to facilitate the managed phase-out of oil and gas production through producer-consumer dialogue and just transition support. Since 2021, Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETP) members have cut up to 78% of international public finance for fossil fuels ? avoiding nearly USD 31 billion ? and the Coalition on Phasing Out Fossil Fuel Incentives Including Subsidies (COFFIS) is advancing progress on subsidy phase-outs. Meanwhile, EFFECT presented a framework to facilitate collaboration between fossil fuel exporters and importers on transitioning away, including new pilots to put the approach into practice.  
                                b.. Mission Efficiency, hosted by SEforALL, launched a new Energy Efficiency De-Risking Platform to connect investors with vetted project pipelines and reduce investment risk. The platform is part of a broader Plan to Accelerate Doubling Energy Efficiency by 2030, bringing together over 30 global partners. The initiative includes EUR 17.5 billion to support energy efficiency improvements by small and medium-sized European businesses, a EUR 20 million initiative to enhance energy efficiency across Africa?s industrial sector, and new appliance efficiency policies.  
                                c.. Abra Group (which includes Gol, Avianca, and Wamos Air) and Sumitomo Corporation do Brasil have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the realisation of a Brazil-Japan Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM). This will pave the way for a long-term offtake agreement of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) between Abra and Sumitomo and accelerate the identification of industry solutions for decarbonisation in the air transport sector. 
                                d.. The Latin America Clean Energy Coalition (LACEC) launched yesterday to accelerate corporate clean energy adoption and help the region triple renewables by 2030. Led by WRI Polsky Center with Global Renewables Alliance, GWEC, and RE100, the coalition connects companies, developers, financiers, and policymakers to unlock investment and advance breakthrough clean energy solutions.

This topic has gained such importance that, for the first time ever, it?s part of the official COP agenda. It even appeared in President Lula?s opening speech at COP30, where he urged all of us (yes, we?re here in Bel?m) to ?inflict a new defeat? on climate denial.

      Lies are a business. And business means profit. We need to stop pretending that disinformation is an accident.

Impact Studio?s journey, from Mentira Tem Pre?o (?Lies Have a Price?), our global program on climate information integrity, to our more recent initiative, Oii. And, without a doubt, none of this would have been possible without the collective effort of a network of people ? in Brazil and beyond ? who truly believe in change.

      Here?s what you won?t want to miss:
        a.. How we can ?inflict a new defeat? on climate deniers NOW.

        b.. How the supply chain of lies is structured, and how much money is involved.

        c.. A timeline of lies - they didn?t come out of nowhere.

        d.. Why doesn?t the truth go viral?

        e.. The map of climate disinformation in Brazil: cross-sector issues ranging from agriculture and public health to environmental policy, indigenous rights, faith, gender, and race.

      This is a call to action. Those of us who care about climate change make up 89% of the population. We are the majority. It is time we started acting like a majority, demanding accountability like a majority, and defending the right to trustworthy information like a majority.

      Promoting information integrity is the key to the success of the climate agenda.

      Will you join us?

      I look forward to seeing you there,

            The last vaquitas on Earth are crying out for help. Less than 10 of the most endangered sea mammals are left and without urgent action they?ll be gone in the blink of an eye.

            These adorable creatures are getting trapped in massive underwater walls of netting as they swim about the ocean, slowly and painfully choking to death.

            But our amazing partners are working flat out to give the last vaquitas a fighting chance at survival ? and we can help!

            They urgently need cash to buy specialist equipment like hydrophones to help local fishers monitor the vaquitas, train dive and rescue teams to remove gillnets, and untangle wildlife. It would save vaquitas from certain death. But our partners can?t do it alone.

            Can you chip in to save the last vaquitas and help us defend nature?

            Vaquitas, the ocean?s ?little cows?, are one of the smallest and shyest ocean mammals, known for their distinctive markings that make them look like they?re smiling ? and their adorable pig-like snorts!

            Tragically, no other species on the planet has fallen so far, so quickly. Estimates put the number of vaquitas as low as just eight individuals, the last remaining survivors of a brutal fishing industry in Mexico?s Upper Gulf of California. Even in such tiny numbers, their presence is vital to balancing the fragile marine ecosystem they're a part of. By saving the vaquitas, we?re also saving countless other species that are dependent on the vaquita for their own survival. 

            But there is a glimmer of hope for these resilient fighters ? scientists say their genetic health is strong, meaning that the vaquita has every chance to bounce back if illegal and deadly fishing practices stop now. 

            Our partners are already making incredible progress with locals who hold sway in their communities to convince fishers to use vaquita-friendly nets instead of gillnets ? and our community helped power this vaquita-saving work! But now they need to go further, faster, getting buy-in from more fishers by training them to monitor the waters for vaquita activity, learn about alternative fishing methods, and remove these underwater death traps before it?s too late.

            All of this ? equipment, training, boats ? takes money, which is where we come in. Together, we could be part of saving this fragile species from extinction but only if we move fast!

                                Pushing Boundaries

                                I recently heard of a tropical ocean bird who flew all the way up to Lake Tahoe, California, this past summer.

                                The lone Cocos booby was first spotted on August 1, fishing in the Tahoe Keys area of South Lake Tahoe. A photo of the bird, posted to the Tahoe Birding Facebook page, set birders near and far aflutter. Over the next eight days, many arrived at the lake to watch the bird fly over the waters, following fishing boats and performing cartwheeling dives to hunt for food.

                                Cocos boobies aren?t traditionally migratory. They historically inhabited Mexico?s Gulf of California and parts of southwestern Colombia. But over the past two decades, as our oceans have warmed, small breeding populations have moved to the Channel Islands, off the Southern California coast.

                                ?The species is becoming less and less a strictly tropical entity; it?s range is expanding north at breakneck pace,? Will Richardson, executive director of the Tahoe Institute for Natural Science, informed me over the phone from Reno, Nevada. Still, the fact that this one had flown inland up and over the Sierra Nevada mountains was ?rather insane,? he said. Most likely, it had lost its way.

                                Nine days after it was first spotted, the bird was found dead on a boat. ?It?s a seabird. It was fishing quite avidly, but its internal chemistry couldn?t hack it with the clear water of Lake Tahoe,? Richardson said.

                                For Richardson, the booby?s last journey holds a note of hope. ?It?s very sad that the bird found itself lost somewhere it couldn?t survive, but in a lot of ways, getting lost is important to the species? survival,? he said. ?Go make a wrong turn. That is how they are able to fairly quickly adapt to changing environmental conditions and push the boundaries of their range. That?s going to be very important in the next century.?

                                I?ve been mulling over Richardson?s words and how they speak to an apparent contradiction inherent in so many sentient species, including ours: the urge to stay rooted in place, in habits, versus the urge to wander, to explore new places and ways to be. While both urges are valid, it seems to me that, as the world changes around us, we have to be more open to pushing the boundaries of where we call home and who we call neighbors.

                              Driving the Day:




                              As COP 30 unfolds in Bel?m, Brazil ? at the edge of the world's largest tropical rainforest ? UN Secretary-General Ant?nio Guterres has set the tone: "It's no longer time for negotiations. It's time for implementation, implementation and implementation". The conference runs through November 21st, and the pressure to deliver is acute.




                              Today the Global Climate Action Agenda is looking at two big problems: the ?money? problem and the ?methane? problem (along with other ?super pollutants?). 




                              When it comes to the money problem, the question is what implementation looks like for climate finance. Climate finance sits in cross-cutting Axis 6 of the Global Climate Action Agenda ? enabling and empowering everything from adaptation and resilience to nature protection, clean energy transitions, and beyond. Last year at COP 29 in Baku, countries agreed to triple finance to developing countries to USD 300 billion annually by 2035, called on all actors to scale up total public and private finance to developing countries to at least USD 1.3 trillion per year by 2035, and launched the ?Baku-to-Bel?m Roadmap?. 


                              But getting that money to flow efficiently requires fixing a number of barriers. For example, investors need a common language ? clear standards for what counts as ?sustainable? so capital can move across borders without confusion or greenwashing. Second, even the best projects may need guarantees to make them bankable for private lenders who see developing countries as too risky. If you've ever tried to use a credit card abroad and hit currency conversion fees, you understand the translation barrier. If you've needed a co-signer for a loan, you understand the risk barrier. Today's announcements tackle both.




                              Meanwhile, while carbon dioxide dominates climate headlines, a group of ?super pollutants? ? methane, black carbon, and similar gases ? are quietly creating catastrophic near-term warming. The good news is that unlike CO2, which lingers for centuries, these gases disappear relatively quickly. That means cutting them delivers fast climate benefits.




                              Which sets the stage for today's announcements?



                              Common Language for Green Finance Unlocks Private Capital Towards Baku USD 1.3 Trillion Goal




                              Two linked initiatives today promise to reshape how sustainable finance works worldwide. Together, the Brazilian Sustainable Taxonomy (BST) and a new Global Super-Taxonomy aim to establish a common financial language for what counts as ?sustainable? ? while allowing countries to keep full control of their own standards.




                                a.. The BST is Brazil?s first national sustainable finance taxonomy and one of the world?s most comprehensive. It defines which investments qualify as sustainable based on climate mitigation and adaptation finance, as well as incorporating social criteria, including gender and racial equity ? offering a robust framework to guide capital flows toward resilient, inclusive development. 
                                b.. The Super-Taxonomy takes the next step: creating a system that allows taxonomies across countries to be compared and translated into one another. Rather than imposing a single global standard, it creates interoperability, enabling investors to assess sustainability claims across borders, all coordinated under a COP 30 Plan to Accelerate Solutions on Super Taxonomy. The plan includes a Taxonomy Roadmap that aims to align more than 60 national taxonomies, helping countries attract private capital and reducing transaction costs ? especially critical since fewer than one-third of developing countries currently have taxonomies in place. 



                              Why this matters:

                              Imagine that an investor in Canada wants to fund solar projects in 'Country A' and wind farms in 'Country B,' but can't compare them. Country A might classify an activity as ?green? that Country B considers neutral. Both might accept projects that another country would flag as greenwashing. The investor, uncertain which standards to trust, simply invests elsewhere ? in more familiar markets with clearer rules. Without clear definitions, capital that could be funding the energy transition sits idle, or worse, flows into projects falsely marketed as sustainable.




                              In Brazil alone, more than 400 billion Brazilian reals (roughly USD 80 billion) in ?sustainable? securities currently use inconsistent criteria. Multiply that confusion globally, and you have a massive greenwashing risk that scares away legitimate capital. By establishing clear rules on whether projects provide substantial contribution to climate protection or merely ?do no significant harm?, the system provides a foundation for credible sustainable finance. 



                              MDBs Scale Credit Enhancement to Make Nature and Climate Projects Bankable




                              A push to unlock private capital for climate and nature also landed today in Bel?m. Multilateral development banks signaled a coordinated shift toward using credit enhancements at far greater scale to help vulnerable countries access climate finance.




                              First, the Task Force on Credit Enhancement for Sustainability-linked Financing, previously launched at COP 28, announced a strengthened mandate and a new set of recommendations aimed squarely at one problem: Emerging markets and developing economies are being priced out of the transition just as their financing needs soar past USD 4 trillion. The Task Force will now move to a full implementation platform, aiming to standardize how multilateral development banks deploy guarantees so they can mobilize private capital more quickly and at much larger volumes. Their efforts help support the Baku to Bel?m Roadmap, which aims to unlock USD 1.3 trillion per year by 2035 across all sources of climate finance for developing countries.




                              Also announced at COP 30, a group of multilateral development banks published a set of recommended metrics for measuring impact and accelerating investment in nature projects, under the Belem Framework for Nature Finance. The guide tackles a critical problem: over 600 indicators and hundreds of metrics currently exist for nature projects, often tracking activities rather than actual ecological outcomes ? creating confusion that scares away investors. The Guide is being used on a pilot basis by the Inter-American Development Bank Group in support of the fourth EcoInvest auction, which expands long-term financing for bioeconomy and nature-based projects with defined biodiversity outcomes. EcoInvest has already raised more than USD 13 billion in its first three auctions.




                              Why this matters:

                              Credit-enhanced sustainability-linked financing (SSLF) is already delivering real results for emerging markets and developing economies. To date, two countries have secured credit-enhanced sustainability-linked loans totaling USD 802 million, while seven countries have completed nine debt conversions, enabling the repurchase of USD 6.5 billion in sovereign debt and freeing up an estimated USD 2 billion for investments in nature, resilience, and social development.





                              For example Ecuador closed the world's largest debt-for-nature swap, buying back roughly USD 1.6 billion of debt for USD 644 million ? a nearly 60% discount ? saving the country around USD 1 billion in repayments over 17 years. The government committed to spending USD 18 million annually for 20 years on conservation in the Gal?pagos Islands. In December 2024, Ecuador announced a second conversion raising USD 460 million for Amazon rainforest protection.




                              A Climate Emergency Brake ? Support for 30 Developing Countries to Slash Super Pollutants



                              The Super Pollutant Country Action Accelerator kicks off at COP 30, part of a Plan to Accelerate Solutions which will help 30 developing countries cut dangerous super pollutant gases by 2030. The Accelerator begins with USD 25 million for seven pioneer countries, including Indonesia, Nigeria, and Mexico, scaling to USD 150 million in its first phase. Each country receives approximately USD 4-5 million over three years, with funding tied to clear national milestones.




                              The initiative is modelled on the successful Montreal Protocol which halted the use of ozone damaging chemicals. It will improve measurement, end routine flaring of gases by oil and gas producers, cut waste and agricultural emissions, and help countries shift to cleaner technologies.




                              Why this matters: 

                              Super pollutants, such as black carbon and methane create a perfect storm for people and economies: 




                                a.. Driving lethal near-term warming ? contributing over half a degree of warming that can still be avoided by 2050. 
                                b.. Worsening air pollution ? that causes nearly 8 million premature deaths a year, costing the world as much as 6.5% of GDP in health impacts and lost productivity. 



                              ?Cutting these pollutants is one of the fastest ways to simultaneously protect climate stability, public health, and food supplies. Yet despite cost-effective solutions already existing, super pollutant action remains critically underfunded. For instance, methane mitigation received less than 2% of global climate finance between 2021?2022, according to a 2023 report by the Climate Policy Initiative. 
                             
                       
                                  
                             
                       
                              News In Brief




                                a.. ?The Open Coalition for Compliance Carbon Markets is bringing together countries to improve transparency, alignment, and cooperation across carbon pricing systems. With the carbon pricing market expanding rapidly ? generating USD 100 billion in 2024 ? the Coalition will strengthen a shared understanding of what ?credible? carbon markets look like by aligning measurement practices, accounting rules, and high-integrity approaches to offsets. The Coalition will also explore future interoperability between national schemes, and work alongside existing global efforts ? such as the World Bank?s new carbon-market funding tools. By aligning with these efforts, the Coalition can help countries build carbon pricing systems that are more credible, fair, and easy to compare, ultimately making carbon markets stronger and more ambitious. 
                                b.. GAWA Capital announced that the Kuali Fund ? its climate adaptation investment vehicle supporting smallholder farmers and small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in emerging markets ? is on track to reach EUR 195 million in commitments by year-end, following new investor backing. GAWA Capital is an impact investment firm focused on directing public and private finance toward underserved communities, and this third fundraising round (essentially its final step before full deployment) positions the fund to scale practical, locally driven resilience solutions such as climate-smart agriculture, water-efficient technologies, and risk-reducing financial tools. The surge in investor interest reflects growing recognition that adaptation is both urgent and investable, fully aligned with the COP 30 call to expand access to adaptation finance and strengthen frontline resilience. 
                             
                       
                                  
                             
                       
                              In case you missed it
                             
                       
                                a.. IDB Launches ?FX Edge? ? Breaking Currency Barriers To Unlock USD 3.4 Billion: The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has launched FX EDGE, the first programme designed to insulate foreign investors from currency risk. Sudden swings in currency often make bankable clean energy projects univiable, leaving critical projects unfunded. FX EDGE introduces long-term currency hedging tools to help Latin America and Caribbean governments to unlock billions in secure affordable, stable financing. 
                                b.. Insurance Could Unlock Billions for Regenerative Agriculture: A new white paper Rooted in Resilience, from Howden Group, in partnership with Boston Consulting Group and the Climate High-Level Champions, shows how insurance can unlock large-scale financing for regenerative agriculture and re/afforestation by reducing risk and improving transparency. The report highlights that while agriculture and land-use systems need USD 250?430 billion annually to scale globally, only around USD 44 billion currently flows into them ? meaning insurance could play a pivotal role in bridging that gap.  
                                c.. USD 200 Million Impact Bond on Weather and Climate Data Opens: The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and partners today called for support for The Systematic Observations Financing Facility (SOFF), the world?s first Impact Bond for Weather and Climate Data. If backing reaches the USD 200 million target the bond could quintuple internationally shared weather and climate data, helping 30 Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States close critical climate data gaps ? unlocking more than USD 160 billion in wider economic benefits. 
                                d.. The Investors Resilience Challenge, launched by the UNEP Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) and development finance partners, has introduced a common framework to help private investors qualify and scale finance for climate adaptation and resilience projects in emerging economies. The initiative addresses the lack of a clear definition of climate resilience, so that investors can identify credible projects, compare them easily across countries, and ultimately invest where capital is most needed.

Subject: Urgent support needed to prevent dangerous climate regression in Europe with worldwide impact
To: <Goldman-prize at googlegroups.com>




Dear all, 

I'm turning to our community in the face of a very urgent matter right in the middle of COP30 : a terrible process is going on in Europe right now, with far-ranging devastating impacts on the climate, human rights and the environment around the globe.

On 13 November, just a few days into COP30, the European Parliament adopted a regressive legislation called ?Omnibus I?, which significantly scales back the European Union?s corporate sustainability laws and climate requirements, especially the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD).

This vote, if unchallenged by European Member States, will impact the whole world. Corporations operating in the European Union will no longer be obliged to meet the Paris Agreement and to respect human rights and the environment in their production chains across the globe.

The only way to stop this backward movement of European law is to send European States a strong signal of a united front from around the world against such irresponsible decisions.

In the European political decision-making process, once the Parliament has voted, it enters a final round of negotiations with the European States and European Commission. That negotiation, called a "trilogue" starts this coming Tuesday, so this is our moment, right in the middle of COP30, to put pressure on EU member States to stand firm and refuse any regression to corporate climate laws.

I have created a Google form here, with a more detailed description of the context and then the letter itself below.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc1-Kz3ZQqzi10nLGC72-vhKz-e9QsiNpffjG2kXGVsh3Ua3A/viewform

Please sign it, and circulate it to as many as you can. This is a global problem, not just a European one. Let's send that signal loud and clear.

I count on you. Thank you in advance 

Best

Claire

                              At COP 30, Climate Action on Forest and Land 
Backs Local and Indigenous Communities

                              ?

                              Today at COP 30: The focus shifts to forest 
finance with the Tropical Forest Forever Facility and the Scaling J-REDD+ 
Coalition launched to fund forest jurisdictions. Meanwhile 15 governments 
endorse a land tenure commitment to advance ownership and protection of 160 
million hectares of Indigenous lands, and the COP Action Agenda on 
Regenerative Landscapes reports USD 9 billion committed to restore 210 
million hectares and support 12 million farmers.





                              Monday 17th November



                              Welcome to Top of the COP, a daily roundup of 
the Global Climate Action Agenda highlights, brought to you by the Climate 
High-Level Champions.




                              Subscribe here to receive the daily Top of the 
COP as soon as it?s published.


                              Driving the Day




                              The next two days at COP 30 focus on forests, 
oceans, biodiversity, and the local communities and Indigenous Peoples who 
steward them, under Axis 2 of the Global Climate Action Agenda.




                              One benefit of the renewed Global Climate 
Action Agenda structure is that participants are increasingly reporting 
against shared, collective metrics. That means assessing the number of 
hectares protected and restored, dollars invested, and people directly 
impacted ? in addition to emissions reduced or avoided.

                              ?

                              What matters more than the hectares or the 
dollars, though, is who's at the centre of this.




                              Consider the scale of the numbers being 
announced across the Action Agenda: For example, 20 million smallholder 
families restoring degraded lands, 12 million farmers shifting to 
regenerative practices across 110 countries, and 1,000 Indigenous 
communities in the Peruvian Amazon stewarding 7.5 million hectares. There 
are also the women safeguarding coastal fisheries, the fire practitioners 
blending traditional and scientific knowledge, and the communities restoring 
mangroves and river systems.




                              Additionally, under this week's land tenure 
announcements, 160 million hectares of Indigenous lands globally are being 
recognized, with USD 1.8 billion committed specifically to secure those 
rights.




                              Indigenous Peoples manage or hold tenure over 
at least 36% of the world's remaining intact forests. Yet as Fany Kiuru, COP 
30 Impact Maker and General Coordinator of the Coordinating Body of 
Indigenous Organizations of the Amazon Basin (COICA), points out: 
"Indigenous territories cover 80% of the world's biodiversity hotspots, yet 
we often struggle for the right to protect them. When our rights are 
overlooked, so is our role in safeguarding ecosystems that are essential not 
only for Indigenous communities but for the entire planet. This 
misunderstanding limits our ability to implement traditional conservation 
methods that have proven effective for generations."




                              This week's outcomes begin to address that 
gap. Here are some of the biggest announcements driving the numbers:




                              Governments Unite to Establish Forest 
Economy ? Anchored by USD 5.5 Billion For Tropical Forests Forever Facility 
(TFFF)




                              What's emerging at COP30 isn't just more money 
for forests ? it's the actual financial architecture to get that money 
flowing to the countries, jurisdictions, and communities protecting them.





                              The Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF) is 
already being backed by strong endorsement and plans for delivery. So far, 
53 countries, including 34 tropical forest countries, have endorsed the 
Facility which has a long-term goal of USD 125 billion. And in a major 
shift, at least 20% of all the fund?s payments will flow directly to 
Indigenous Peoples and local communities.




                              Landing at COP30, is the TFFF Country Access 
Platform, created to help forest countries meet eligibility requirements and 
access funds. The United Nations Development Programme and Systemiq will 
independently manage the Platform, which will connect countries with 
technical partners, provide hands-on knowledge support, and facilitate 
South?South collaboration.




                              Today also brought the launch of the Scaling 
J-REDD+ Coalition to channel finance to forest protection at scale. Instead 
of funding individual projects, this approach pays entire states, provinces, 
or countries for measurable reductions in deforestation ? creating stable, 
long-term incentives to keep forests standing.




                              The Coalition includes tropical forest 
countries (Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guyana, Kenya), donor nations 
(Norway, Singapore, UK), Indigenous groups (Grupo Indigena Per?), and major 
carbon market organizations (ART, Emergent, South Pole, Verra) and other 
civil society organizations.




                              These initiatives are in direct support of the 
Forest Finance Roadmap which has been endorsed by 36 governments 
representing 45% of the world?s forest cover and 65% of global GDP. The 
roadmap aims to close the USD 66.8 billion annual funding gap for tropical 
forest protection and restoration. It was released under the Forest & 
Climate Leaders' Partnership in collaboration with the Government of Brazil.




                              Why this matters:

                              "Halting and reversing deforestation is 
fundamental to achieving global climate goals. For too long, the immense 
value of standing tropical forests has been absent from the world's balance 
sheet,? said COP 30 Climate High-Level Champion Dan Ioschpe.




                              For communities that have historically carried 
the burden of forest conservation without adequate resources or recognition, 
these initiatives signal a tangible shift: climate finance is increasingly 
aligning with the people who are actually managing and protecting the planet?s 
most critical ecosystems.



                              Global Leaders Back Indigenous Land Rights 
With 160 Million Hectares and USD 1.8 Billion Boost




                              As of today, fifteen governments will have 
endorsed the new Intergovernmental Land Tenure Commitment (ILTC), which 
establishes a goal to advance the ownership and protection of 160 million 
hectares of lands belonging to Indigenous Peoples, traditional communities, 
and Afro-descendant groups. Commitments announced included 50 million 
hectares in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and 16 million in Colombia, 
along with 63 million hectares in Brazil.

                              ?


                              That includes plans in Brazil to secure 51 
million hectares of already-demarcated Indigenous territories by removing 
land invaders and implementing territorial management plans. It will also 
advance land regularisation for another 8 million hectares ? 3 million 
through allocating public lands to Indigenous peoples and 5 million through 
demarcating 54 new Indigenous territories. In addition, 4 million hectares 
will be designated for Afro-descendant communities, supporting the 
sustainable development and territorial strengthening of about 300 
Quilombola territories over the next five years.




                              Complementing these efforts, 35 philanthropies 
and national governments recently pledged USD 1.8 billion to expand 
community-based conservation through strengthening legal tenure for 
Indigenous Peoples.




                              Where forest finance has long bypassed 
Indigenous Communities, today?s commitments acknowledge their role in 
managing much of the world?s intact tropical forests. For example, from the 
territories of the Brazilian Amazon, where deforestation rates inside 
recognized Indigenous lands are dramatically lower than in surrounding 
areas, to Colombia, Peru and Indonesia, where titled community lands 
consistently show higher carbon storage and lower forest loss.




                              Why this matters:

                              By acknowledging this stewardship, governments 
and funders signal that secure land tenure is essential for unlocking 
climate and nature finance, and for enforcing safeguards against land-grabs, 
illegal logging, and ecosystem degradation.




                              USD 9 Billion for Regenerative Landscapes: A 
New Model for Farming and Land Restoration




                              The COP Action Agenda on Regenerative 
Landscapes (AARL) announced a surge in investments to advance production, 
conservation, and restoration across agrifood systems. More than 40 
organizations reported over USD 9 billion in committed investment, covering 
more than 210 million hectares of land and reaching 12 million farmers 
across 90+ agricultural and food commodities in 110+ countries by 2030. 
Investment has increased more than fourfold from USD 2.2 billion in 2023.




                              AARL ? launched by the COP 28 Presidency of 
the UAE, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), and 
Boston Consulting Group (BCG) ? brings together more than 40 organizations 
including commodity traders, consumer goods companies, retailers, agtech 
providers, financial institutions, and other non-state actor partners. 
Together they are backing regenerative agriculture approaches that restore 
degraded land while keeping farmers profitable.




                              The progress is visible on the ground. In 
Brazil, the Landscape Accelerator Brazil (LAB) ? a private-sector led 
multistakeholder initiative under the global AARL initiative ? launched in 
2025 in partnership with Brazil's Ministry of Agriculture. It is focused on 
the Cerrado biome and Par? state in the Amazon. Research from the LAB shows 
that restoring pastures and advancing regenerative practices across 50+ 
million hectares represents a USD 93 billion investment opportunity with an 
average 19% internal rate of return for 610,000 farmers. The LAB aims to 
mobilize USD 5 billion by 2030 through a co-investment platform.




                              Why this matters:

                              ?For decades, farmers and communities have 
been the first to feel the pressure of climate change: degraded soils, 
unpredictable rainfall, shrinking harvests. They?ve adapted, often 
innovated, but without the investment and enabling policies needed to match 
the scale of the global challenge. The USD 9 billion committed through AARL 
changes that dynamic.





                              In case you missed it


                              And, in case you missed it, here is a roundup 
of even more nature stories happening across COP 30

                              ?

                                a.. Over 50 countries and organizations 
signed a global Call to Action on Integrated Fire Management and Wildfire 
Resilience. On average, 261 million hectares of land was affected by fire 
annually in 2007?2019, almost half of which was forested. Delivered largely 
through the FAO-hosted Global Fire Management Hub, the ?Integrated Fire 
Management and Wildfire Resilience? initiative aims to strengthen wildfire 
resilience worldwide by expanding data sharing, community capacity, 
Indigenous knowledge leadership, and early-warning systems ? protecting 
millions of hectares.
                                b.. Under the COP 30 Plan to Accelerate 
Solutions for Business Engagement in Land Restoration, the Riyadh Action 
Agenda has expanded from 40 initiatives last year to 100 public and private 
initiatives now formally supporting global land restoration and 
drought-resilience goals. This builds on the progress made since last year 
COP16. The UNCCD COP16 Presidency has positioned this growth as the basis 
for its call for 1,000 companies to commit to land restoration and 
regenerative practices by 2030.
                                c.. More than 1,000 businesses and financial 
institutions are now acting on the Nature Positive for Climate Call to 
Action ? a more than sixfold increase since its launch at COP 28. The surge 
reflects growing recognition that climate action must include nature, with 
organisations committing to set science-based targets, integrate nature into 
transition plans, invest in nature-based solutions, adopt nature-related 
disclosures, and align their policy engagement accordingly.
                                d.. Catalytic Capital for the Agriculture 
Transition Fund aims to make restoring degraded land more productive and 
profitable for Brazilian farmers without further deforestation. The fund is 
backed by a founding commitment of USD 50 million from the Moore Foundation, 
Norway?s NICFI and other investors; managed by VOX Capital, with The Nature 
Conservancy as impact advisor. With an initial USD 200 million catalytic 
raise, CCAT aims to unlock USD 800 million in commercial capital by 2028 ? 
scaling USD 10 billion total capital by 2030. It is expected to support over 
500,000 hectares of land recovery or protection in the Cerrado and Amazon, 
avoid 240 million tons of CO? emissions, and directly benefit more than 
1,000 farmers by 2030.
                                e.. New Global Coalition Aims to Fast-Track 
Soil Carbon Solutions. Brazil, India, and Kenya?s national agricultural 
research institutions have joined forces to launch the Global Carbon Harvest 
Coalition, convened by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural 
Research (CGIAR). The Coalition will accelerate and scale field research on 
soil organic carbon, biochar, and enhanced rock weathering to secure full 
methodological approval for these climate-positive practices in national and 
global compliance markets before 2030.
                                f.. Emerging markets may soon become the 
engine room of climate innovation, as the Regional Platforms for Climate 
Projects launched at COP 27 by the Climate High Level Champions showcases a 
USD 4.7 billion portfolio of investable opportunities for 2025. The 
centrepiece is a USD 2.24 billion wave of nature and agri-food investments, 
spanning major zero-deforestation funds and early-stage ventures geared 
toward restoring ecosystems and cutting emissions.
                                g.. At COP30, Brazil and international 
partners announced the Bioeconomy Challenge, a three-year initiative to 
develop common, collective metrics, market frameworks, and financing 
mechanisms for the emerging bioeconomy sector. The move marks prominent 
inclusion in the Global Climate Action Agenda and aims to provide countries 
with practical tools to integrate nature-based industries into their climate 
plans.
                                h.. COP30 Nature Based Solutions (NbS) 
Capital Mobilization ? an initiative led by Capital for Climate that has 
successfully secured USD 10.4 Billion in intended capital allocation for 
nature-based solutions in Brazil through 2027, exceeding the original goal 
of USD 5 Billion. Further, the Earth Investment Engine from Ambition Loop 
launched today aims to channel over 2,000 curated opportunities representing 
more than USD 125 billion, supported by a network of more than 45 pipelines 
and 30 curation partners. This work will be implemented through the NbS 
Investment Intelligence Platform from Capital for Climate which already 
hosts an USD 27 billion pipeline spanning Latin America and Sub-Saharan 
Africa, in collaboration with the Regional Platform for Climate Projects.

                                Dear subscribers,

                                COP30 in Brazil has adopted a historic 
declaration to counter climate disinformation.

                                Delegates stressed that the era of 
half-measures is over: countries have presented new climate plans covering 
almost 70% of global emissions, with priorities including fossil fuel 
phase-out, renewable energy development, and greater energy efficiency.

                                Across the region, countries continue 
advancing their climate agendas: Kazakhstan has adopted national carbon 
neutrality standards and is preparing its new climate plan (NDC 3.0), while 
Belarus and Uzbekistan ? though delayed ? have now also published their 
updated contributions with new emissions targets.

                                At the end of this issue ? new opportunities 
for activists.

                                Best regards,
                                CAN EECCA Communications Manager

                                Historic Declaration at COP30: Confronting 
Climate Disinformation
                                Twelve countries signed the Declaration on 
Climate Information Integrity to counter disinformation, attacks on 
scientists and journalists, and to strengthen global cooperation. The 
initiative includes funding for research and investigative journalism, 
particularly in the Global South.

                                From Promises to Action: Delegates Demand 
Faster Climate Progress
                                Delegates emphasized that the era of 
half-steps is over as the climate crisis continues to cause destruction and 
economic losses. A total of 113 countries presented new climate plans 
covering nearly 70% of global emissions. Priorities include phasing out 
fossil fuels, scaling renewable energy, boosting efficiency, and mobilizing 
USD 1.3 trillion for developing countries.

                                Large protests led by Indigenous communities 
at COP30 demand protection of the Amazon and meaningful participation in 
climate decisions. Civil society is also calling for a ?wealth tax,? as new 
data shows that top global billionaires emit more CO? than the average 
person does over an entire lifetime.

Experts Are Skeptical
                                Belarus set a new NDC target of a 42% 
emissions cut by 2035 compared to 1990 levels. Experts warn that recent 
emission declines are driven by economic slowdown and international 
isolation rather than genuine climate policy.

                                Climate Finance Fails to Support a Just 
Transition
                                Only 2.8% of emissions-reduction finance 
supports workers and communities in a just transition?just USD 630 million 
over more than a decade. Most such projects are funded through the GCF, 
while other funds provide almost no support.

                                A Decade After Paris: What Has the World 
Achieved?
                                Ten years after the Paris Agreement, 
renewable energy expansion and electric-vehicle deployment have reached 
record highs. Yet global CO? emissions keep rising: in 2024 they reached 
53.2 Gt?65% higher than in 1990. Top emitters remain China, the US, the EU, 
India, Russia, Indonesia, Brazil and Japan.

                                New Land Gap Report Warns of Critical ?Land 
Gap?
                                Countries collectively plan over 1 billion 
hectares for carbon removals?an unrealistic volume that would harm 
ecosystems. For the first time, the report also identifies a ?forest gap?: 
despite pledges to halt deforestation by 2030, current plans allow for the 
loss of around 20 million hectares of forest per year.

                                China May Cut CO? Emissions Already in 2025
                                According to Carbon Brief, China?s emissions 
have remained flat or declined for the past 18 months thanks to record wind 
and solar growth and reduced demand for transport fuels amid widespread EV 
uptake. Despite rising emissions in the chemical sector, total emissions may 
fall in 2025 for the first time in years.

Backs Local and Indigenous Communities

                              ?

                              Today at COP 30: The focus shifts to forest 
finance with the Tropical Forest Forever Facility and the Scaling J-REDD+ 
Coalition launched to fund forest jurisdictions. Meanwhile 15 governments 
endorse a land tenure commitment to advance ownership and protection of 160 
million hectares of Indigenous lands, and the COP Action Agenda on 
Regenerative Landscapes reports USD 9 billion committed to restore 210 
million hectares and support 12 million farmers.





                              Monday 17th November



                              Welcome to Top of the COP, a daily roundup of 
the Global Climate Action Agenda highlights, brought to you by the Climate 
High-Level Champions.




                              Subscribe here to receive the daily Top of the 
COP as soon as it?s published.


                              Driving the Day




                              The next two days at COP 30 focus on forests, 
oceans, biodiversity, and the local communities and Indigenous Peoples who 
steward them, under Axis 2 of the Global Climate Action Agenda.




                              One benefit of the renewed Global Climate 
Action Agenda structure is that participants are increasingly reporting 
against shared, collective metrics. That means assessing the number of 
hectares protected and restored, dollars invested, and people directly 
impacted ? in addition to emissions reduced or avoided.

                              ?

                              What matters more than the hectares or the 
dollars, though, is who's at the centre of this.




                              Consider the scale of the numbers being 
announced across the Action Agenda: For example, 20 million smallholder 
families restoring degraded lands, 12 million farmers shifting to 
regenerative practices across 110 countries, and 1,000 Indigenous 
communities in the Peruvian Amazon stewarding 7.5 million hectares. There 
are also the women safeguarding coastal fisheries, the fire practitioners 
blending traditional and scientific knowledge, and the communities restoring 
mangroves and river systems.




                              Additionally, under this week's land tenure 
announcements, 160 million hectares of Indigenous lands globally are being 
recognized, with USD 1.8 billion committed specifically to secure those 
rights.




                              Indigenous Peoples manage or hold tenure over 
at least 36% of the world's remaining intact forests. Yet as Fany Kiuru, COP 
30 Impact Maker and General Coordinator of the Coordinating Body of 
Indigenous Organizations of the Amazon Basin (COICA), points out: 
"Indigenous territories cover 80% of the world's biodiversity hotspots, yet 
we often struggle for the right to protect them. When our rights are 
overlooked, so is our role in safeguarding ecosystems that are essential not 
only for Indigenous communities but for the entire planet. This 
misunderstanding limits our ability to implement traditional conservation 
methods that have proven effective for generations."




                              This week's outcomes begin to address that 
gap. Here are some of the biggest announcements driving the numbers:




                              Governments Unite to Establish Forest 
Economy ? Anchored by USD 5.5 Billion For Tropical Forests Forever Facility 
(TFFF)




                              What's emerging at COP30 isn't just more money 
for forests ? it's the actual financial architecture to get that money 
flowing to the countries, jurisdictions, and communities protecting them.





                              The Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF) is 
already being backed by strong endorsement and plans for delivery. So far, 
53 countries, including 34 tropical forest countries, have endorsed the 
Facility which has a long-term goal of USD 125 billion. And in a major 
shift, at least 20% of all the fund?s payments will flow directly to 
Indigenous Peoples and local communities.




                              Landing at COP30, is the TFFF Country Access 
Platform, created to help forest countries meet eligibility requirements and 
access funds. The United Nations Development Programme and Systemiq will 
independently manage the Platform, which will connect countries with 
technical partners, provide hands-on knowledge support, and facilitate 
South?South collaboration.




                              Today also brought the launch of the Scaling 
J-REDD+ Coalition to channel finance to forest protection at scale. Instead 
of funding individual projects, this approach pays entire states, provinces, 
or countries for measurable reductions in deforestation ? creating stable, 
long-term incentives to keep forests standing.




                              The Coalition includes tropical forest 
countries (Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guyana, Kenya), donor nations 
(Norway, Singapore, UK), Indigenous groups (Grupo Indigena Per?), and major 
carbon market organizations (ART, Emergent, South Pole, Verra) and other 
civil society organizations.




                              These initiatives are in direct support of the 
Forest Finance Roadmap which has been endorsed by 36 governments 
representing 45% of the world?s forest cover and 65% of global GDP. The 
roadmap aims to close the USD 66.8 billion annual funding gap for tropical 
forest protection and restoration. It was released under the Forest & 
Climate Leaders' Partnership in collaboration with the Government of Brazil.




                              Why this matters:

                              "Halting and reversing deforestation is 
fundamental to achieving global climate goals. For too long, the immense 
value of standing tropical forests has been absent from the world's balance 
sheet,? said COP 30 Climate High-Level Champion Dan Ioschpe.




                              For communities that have historically carried 
the burden of forest conservation without adequate resources or recognition, 
these initiatives signal a tangible shift: climate finance is increasingly 
aligning with the people who are actually managing and protecting the planet?s 
most critical ecosystems.



                              Global Leaders Back Indigenous Land Rights 
With 160 Million Hectares and USD 1.8 Billion Boost




                              As of today, fifteen governments will have 
endorsed the new Intergovernmental Land Tenure Commitment (ILTC), which 
establishes a goal to advance the ownership and protection of 160 million 
hectares of lands belonging to Indigenous Peoples, traditional communities, 
and Afro-descendant groups. Commitments announced included 50 million 
hectares in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and 16 million in Colombia, 
along with 63 million hectares in Brazil.

                              ?


                              That includes plans in Brazil to secure 51 
million hectares of already-demarcated Indigenous territories by removing 
land invaders and implementing territorial management plans. It will also 
advance land regularisation for another 8 million hectares ? 3 million 
through allocating public lands to Indigenous peoples and 5 million through 
demarcating 54 new Indigenous territories. In addition, 4 million hectares 
will be designated for Afro-descendant communities, supporting the 
sustainable development and territorial strengthening of about 300 
Quilombola territories over the next five years.




                              Complementing these efforts, 35 philanthropies 
and national governments recently pledged USD 1.8 billion to expand 
community-based conservation through strengthening legal tenure for 
Indigenous Peoples.




                              Where forest finance has long bypassed 
Indigenous Communities, today?s commitments acknowledge their role in 
managing much of the world?s intact tropical forests. For example, from the 
territories of the Brazilian Amazon, where deforestation rates inside 
recognized Indigenous lands are dramatically lower than in surrounding 
areas, to Colombia, Peru and Indonesia, where titled community lands 
consistently show higher carbon storage and lower forest loss.




                              Why this matters:

                              By acknowledging this stewardship, governments 
and funders signal that secure land tenure is essential for unlocking 
climate and nature finance, and for enforcing safeguards against land-grabs, 
illegal logging, and ecosystem degradation.




                              USD 9 Billion for Regenerative Landscapes: A 
New Model for Farming and Land Restoration




                              The COP Action Agenda on Regenerative 
Landscapes (AARL) announced a surge in investments to advance production, 
conservation, and restoration across agrifood systems. More than 40 
organizations reported over USD 9 billion in committed investment, covering 
more than 210 million hectares of land and reaching 12 million farmers 
across 90+ agricultural and food commodities in 110+ countries by 2030. 
Investment has increased more than fourfold from USD 2.2 billion in 2023.




                              AARL ? launched by the COP 28 Presidency of 
the UAE, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), and 
Boston Consulting Group (BCG) ? brings together more than 40 organizations 
including commodity traders, consumer goods companies, retailers, agtech 
providers, financial institutions, and other non-state actor partners. 
Together they are backing regenerative agriculture approaches that restore 
degraded land while keeping farmers profitable.




                              The progress is visible on the ground. In 
Brazil, the Landscape Accelerator Brazil (LAB) ? a private-sector led 
multistakeholder initiative under the global AARL initiative ? launched in 
2025 in partnership with Brazil's Ministry of Agriculture. It is focused on 
the Cerrado biome and Par? state in the Amazon. Research from the LAB shows 
that restoring pastures and advancing regenerative practices across 50+ 
million hectares represents a USD 93 billion investment opportunity with an 
average 19% internal rate of return for 610,000 farmers. The LAB aims to 
mobilize USD 5 billion by 2030 through a co-investment platform.




                              Why this matters:

                              ?For decades, farmers and communities have 
been the first to feel the pressure of climate change: degraded soils, 
unpredictable rainfall, shrinking harvests. They?ve adapted, often 
innovated, but without the investment and enabling policies needed to match 
the scale of the global challenge. The USD 9 billion committed through AARL 
changes that dynamic.





                              In case you missed it


                              And, in case you missed it, here is a roundup 
of even more nature stories happening across COP 30

                              ?

                                a.. Over 50 countries and organizations 
signed a global Call to Action on Integrated Fire Management and Wildfire 
Resilience. On average, 261 million hectares of land was affected by fire 
annually in 2007?2019, almost half of which was forested. Delivered largely 
through the FAO-hosted Global Fire Management Hub, the ?Integrated Fire 
Management and Wildfire Resilience? initiative aims to strengthen wildfire 
resilience worldwide by expanding data sharing, community capacity, 
Indigenous knowledge leadership, and early-warning systems ? protecting 
millions of hectares.
                                b.. Under the COP 30 Plan to Accelerate 
Solutions for Business Engagement in Land Restoration, the Riyadh Action 
Agenda has expanded from 40 initiatives last year to 100 public and private 
initiatives now formally supporting global land restoration and 
drought-resilience goals. This builds on the progress made since last year 
COP16. The UNCCD COP16 Presidency has positioned this growth as the basis 
for its call for 1,000 companies to commit to land restoration and 
regenerative practices by 2030.
                                c.. More than 1,000 businesses and financial 
institutions are now acting on the Nature Positive for Climate Call to 
Action ? a more than sixfold increase since its launch at COP 28. The surge 
reflects growing recognition that climate action must include nature, with 
organisations committing to set science-based targets, integrate nature into 
transition plans, invest in nature-based solutions, adopt nature-related 
disclosures, and align their policy engagement accordingly.
                                d.. Catalytic Capital for the Agriculture 
Transition Fund aims to make restoring degraded land more productive and 
profitable for Brazilian farmers without further deforestation. The fund is 
backed by a founding commitment of USD 50 million from the Moore Foundation, 
Norway?s NICFI and other investors; managed by VOX Capital, with The Nature 
Conservancy as impact advisor. With an initial USD 200 million catalytic 
raise, CCAT aims to unlock USD 800 million in commercial capital by 2028 ? 
scaling USD 10 billion total capital by 2030. It is expected to support over 
500,000 hectares of land recovery or protection in the Cerrado and Amazon, 
avoid 240 million tons of CO? emissions, and directly benefit more than 
1,000 farmers by 2030.
                                e.. New Global Coalition Aims to Fast-Track 
Soil Carbon Solutions. Brazil, India, and Kenya?s national agricultural 
research institutions have joined forces to launch the Global Carbon Harvest 
Coalition, convened by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural 
Research (CGIAR). The Coalition will accelerate and scale field research on 
soil organic carbon, biochar, and enhanced rock weathering to secure full 
methodological approval for these climate-positive practices in national and 
global compliance markets before 2030.
                                f.. Emerging markets may soon become the 
engine room of climate innovation, as the Regional Platforms for Climate 
Projects launched at COP 27 by the Climate High Level Champions showcases a 
USD 4.7 billion portfolio of investable opportunities for 2025. The 
centrepiece is a USD 2.24 billion wave of nature and agri-food investments, 
spanning major zero-deforestation funds and early-stage ventures geared 
toward restoring ecosystems and cutting emissions.
                                g.. At COP30, Brazil and international 
partners announced the Bioeconomy Challenge, a three-year initiative to 
develop common, collective metrics, market frameworks, and financing 
mechanisms for the emerging bioeconomy sector. The move marks prominent 
inclusion in the Global Climate Action Agenda and aims to provide countries 
with practical tools to integrate nature-based industries into their climate 
plans.
                                h.. COP30 Nature Based Solutions (NbS) 
Capital Mobilization ? an initiative led by Capital for Climate that has 
successfully secured USD 10.4 Billion in intended capital allocation for 
nature-based solutions in Brazil through 2027, exceeding the original goal 
of USD 5 Billion. Further, the Earth Investment Engine from Ambition Loop 
launched today aims to channel over 2,000 curated opportunities representing 
more than USD 125 billion, supported by a network of more than 45 pipelines 
and 30 curation partners. This work will be implemented through the NbS

                              Tuesday, 18th November



                              Welcome to Top of the COP, a daily roundup of 
the Global Climate Action Agenda highlights, brought to you by the Climate 
High-Level Champions




                              Subscribe here to receive the daily Top of the 
COP as soon as it?s published.


                              Driving the Day:




                              The COP 30 host city of Bel?m sits near the 
confluence of the Amazon River and the Atlantic Ocean ? where the world's 
mightiest river system pours into the planet's second-largest ocean. It's a 
city between two worlds: freshwater and salt water, forest and sea.




                              Walk through the local Ver-o-Peso market, and 
you'll find a?a? berries piled high ? the "superfood" that has transformed 
from a local staple into a billion-dollar global industry. Most of those 
berries come from small family farms on river islands around Bel?m, where 
farmers scale palm trees in the Amazon heat to harvest clusters that must be 
processed within 24 hours or lose their value. These a?a? farmers, along 
with millions of other small and medium-sized enterprises across the Amazon 
and beyond, represent the front lines of climate action: businesses 
simultaneously vulnerable to climate shocks and essential to climate 
solutions.




                              This is where nearly 200 countries have 
gathered for COP 30, and the symbolism runs deep. Just as Bel?m sits at the 
meeting point of ecosystems, the Global Climate Action Agenda recognizes 
that solving the climate crisis requires coordinated action across all 
fronts ? forests and oceans, energy and agriculture, adaptation and 
mitigation. No single sector holds all the answers.




                              Today's announcements span this breadth: ocean 
protection strategies deployed across tropical and temperate coastlines 
worldwide, and new initiatives supporting the small and medium-sized 
businesses that make up 90% of the global economy. Through the Action 
Agenda, both domains are developing the tools that have proven effective 
elsewhere: recognition that overlooked ecosystems matter, frameworks for 
restoration that go beyond stopping damage, catalytic financing to 
demonstrate economic value, and tools for accountability.




                              Here are today?s announcements?




                              USD 4 billion target announced for mangrove 
restoration, while USD 5 billion target aims to restore 500,000 hectares of 
saltmarshes




                              Two announcements from Axis 2 of the Global 
Climate Action Agenda shine a spotlight on the wetland ecosystems that line 
the world's coasts, buffering thousands of communities from storms, flooding 
and sea-level rise. One focuses on tropical and subtropical mangroves from 
Indonesia to Mexico; the other on temperate saltmarshes from the 
northeastern United States to China. Together, they show the breadth and 
robustness of coastal protection strategies being deployed worldwide.




                              At COP 30, the Mangrove Catalytic Facility 
announced a USD 80 million initial fund designed to support the Mangrove 
Breakthrough target of unlocking USD 4 billion in total investment by 2030. 
Rather than just funding individual restoration projects, it's designed to 
reshape how local financial institutions price coastal risk and value 
mangrove protection. It provides technical assistance to banks, develops 
investment frameworks, and creates mechanisms that make mangrove protection 
financially sustainable beyond a single grant cycle.




                              Since the Mangrove Breakthrough launched at 
COP27, it has tracked over USD 750 million across more than 40 large-scale 
projects. Forty-six governments representing 40% of global mangrove coverage 
have endorsed the effort. Countries like Jamaica are writing mangrove 
protection into their national climate plans, with targets to safeguard 
two-thirds of their mangroves by 2033 and restore 7,000 hectares by 2027.




                              Meanwhile, the Saltmarsh Breakthrough launched 
today on Oceans Day at COP 30, by the Blue Marine Foundation, UK Center for 
Ecology & Hydrology, and WWF. It announced its goal of USD 5 billion in 
financing by 2030 and plans to restore 500,000 hectares. Saltmarshes are 
vanishing three times faster than forests ? drained and developed for 
agriculture, ports, or simply paved over as humans built along coastlines.




                              Saltmarshes capture carbon up to 40 times 
faster than forests ? sucking CO2 from the atmosphere and storing it in 
waterlogged soil where it can't easily escape. When saltmarshes die, they 
don't just stop sequestering carbon ? they start releasing it. The 326 
million tonnes of CO2 released from saltmarsh loss between 2000 and 2019 
equals the annual emissions of roughly 70 million cars. Every hectare that 
disappears is a climate solution switching sides.




                              Why it matters:

                              Together, the Mangrove and Saltmarsh 
Breakthroughs recognize that coastal wetlands ? whether tropical or 
temperate ? are among the most powerful climate allies. Both ecosystems 
deliver what climate action desperately needs: solutions that work on 
mitigation and adaptation simultaneously. They sequester carbon faster than 
forests while protecting communities from storms and sea-level rise. They 
support fisheries while filtering pollution. Lose them, and the planet loses 
critical infrastructure for climate resilience. Protect them, and the gain 
is natural systems that become more valuable as climate impacts intensify.




                              New dashboard shows who?s delivering on ocean 
goals




                              A new Ocean Breakthroughs Dashboard will make 
it much easier to track whether ocean commitments are being followed 
through. For years, ocean promises have been easy to make and difficult to 
track. Ambitious goals are announced. Pledges are made to go 
"ocean-positive." Commitments are celebrated but who checks whether shipping 
companies actually reduce emissions? Whether offshore wind projects protect 
marine life? Whether sustainable fishing practices spread beyond pilot 
programs?



                              The dashboard tracks five critical ocean 
sectors ? marine conservation, shipping, coastal tourism, ocean renewable 
energy, and seafood systems ? and makes the data public. These five sectors 
together could deliver up to 35% of the emissions cuts needed by 2050 to 
keep warming under 1.5?C.



                              Why it matters:

                              The dashboard's significance isn't just that 
it tracks progress ? it's that it identifies gaps so they can be solved. 
When it?s clear to see which targets are being met and which ones are 
falling behind, accountability is improved. When investors can verify which 
companies are truly ocean-positive, greenwashing becomes riskier.




                              One Ocean Partnership announces USD 20 billion 
in investment and 20 million square kilometres under regenerative management



                              Also at COP 30, the One Ocean Partnership 
announced a global network of "Regenerative Seascapes" ? large ocean areas 
where the goal isn't just to stop degradation, but to actively restore ocean 
health while creating economic opportunity for the people who depend on it. 
The targets are ambitious: USD 20 billion in investment, 20 million square 
kilometres under regenerative management (roughly 5% of the entire ocean), 
20 million hectares of critical ecosystems conserved, and 20 million jobs 
created ? all by 2030.




                              The word "regenerative" is key. For decades, 
ocean conservation has operated on a defensive model: marine protected areas 
where human activity is restricted, fishing quotas that aim to prevent 
collapse, pollution regulations that limit damage. These approaches are 
necessary, but they're essentially about doing less harm.




                              Regenerative approaches flip the model. 
Instead of cordoning off areas and hoping ecosystems recover on their own, 
regenerative seascapes actively restore damaged areas while designing human 
activities ? fishing, tourism, renewable energy, shipping ? to support 
rather than undermine ocean health.




                              A sustainable ocean economy could create 51 
million new jobs by 2050, according to recent estimates. But currently, 
ocean-based solutions receive less than 2% of global climate finance, 
despite the ocean covering 71% of the planet and doing most of the heavy 
lifting in regulating climate. The One Ocean Partnership aims to fix that 
imbalance.




                              Why this matters:

                              Imagine a coastal region where sustainable 
fishing practices rebuild fish stocks while creating jobs, where seagrass 
restoration improves water quality while sequestering carbon, where coastal 
tourism brings income but tourism businesses invest in coral reef 
protection, where offshore wind provides clean energy but turbines are sited 
to avoid whale migration routes. All of this coordinated, locally led, and 
financially sustainable. The One Ocean Partnership builds on proven models 
like the Great Blue Wall Initiative in Africa, where regenerative seascapes 
are already operating.




                              250+ global companies help small suppliers cut 
emissions




                              One of the biggest pushes on climate action 
landing in Bel?m this week came from the small and medium-sized enterprises 
(SMEs) that make up 90% of the world?s businesses. The Climate-Proofing SMEs 
Campaign, now spanning 49 collaborators and reaching nearly 90 million SMEs, 
used COP 30 to deliver a slate of announcements that show how the climate 
transition is gaining momentum in the real economy.



                              More than 250 global companies ? including 
IKEA, Schneider Electric, Tech Mahindra, First Abu Dhabi Bank and Natura ? 
are helping smaller suppliers cut emissions and build resilience through 
supply chain programmes. With Scope 3 emissions often reaching 70% of 
corporate footprints, this is where climate ambition becomes operational.



                              Speaking from Bel?m, Nigar Arpadarai, COP 29 
Climate High-Level Champion, who originally launched the Climate-Proofing 
SMEs Campaign, said: ? Despite their crucial role, many SMEs have not been 
given the tools, the support, or the financial incentives they need to take 
bold climate action. Two-thirds of SMEs are already feeling the impacts of 
climate change, and 63% of those committed to net zero say they?ve never 
been asked to reduce emissions, with 84% not offered financial incentives to 
do so?.



                              Campaign collaborators also highlighted how 
multilateral development banks, development finance institutions, and 
commercial banks are redesigning instruments so that climate finance reaches 
small businesses in the developing countries where climate impacts hit 
hardest and solutions scale fastest.



                              Two announcements stood out:



                                a.. Sebrae?s new Empreender Clima Platform, 
with Organiza??o de Estados Ibero-americanos (OEI), Minist?rio do 
Empreendedorismo, da Microempresa e da Empresa de Pequeno Porte (MEMP) and 
Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econ?mico e Social (BNDES), will open 
access to climate finance ? including subsidized credit lines ? alongside 
sustainability training, environmental tools, mentorship and links to new 
green markets.
                                b.. The launch of the South-South Collective 
for Climate (S2C2), backed by climate-tech leaders in Brazil and India, aims 
to support 5,000+ climate start-ups by 2030, generating solutions that could 
cut or avoid 1 gigaton of emissions across Africa, Latin America, South 
Asia, and beyond.





                              In case you missed it


                              And, in case you missed it, here is a roundup 
of even more stories happening across COP 30.




                                a.. At COP 30, the Science-based Framework 
for Global Peatland Targets and Guiding Principles now provides governments, 
investors, and stakeholders with a shared, measurable roadmap to protect and 
restore peatlands. Developed through the Peatland Breakthrough, it aligns 
action with the Paris Agreement, the Global Biodiversity Framework, and the 
UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. The targets address halting the loss of 
the remaining ~430 million hectares of natural, undrained peatlands; 
restoring and rewetting at least 30 million hectares by 2030; and ensuring 
all peatlands are managed under sustainable, wise-use principles. Together 
with a derived climate target and two targets on finance and monitoring, the 
framework provides a measurable pathway to unlock mitigation, enhance 
resilience, and safeguard one of the planet?s most powerful natural climate 
buffers.
                                b.. Restore Africa / Restore Southeast Asia 
(Global Evergreening Alliance):?A USD 5 billion plan aims to restore 20 
million hectares and support 20 million smallholder households by 2030. Led 
by the Global EverGreening Alliance with partners such as AFR100, WWF, WRI, 
the Great Green Wall, the UN Decade, Accion Andina, the Riyadh Action Agenda 
and the Global Flagship Initiative for Food Security, it is the largest 
smallholder-led restoration effort in Africa and the biggest 
smallholder-driven nature-based carbon removals programme worldwide. The 
initiative spans 20 countries, integrating policy reform, community-centred 
implementation and unified MRV systems to make large-scale restoration 
investable and directly beneficial for farming communities.
                                c.. Also landing this week: Coastal 500 is 
mobilizing local governments to deliver real ocean impact. Its goals: 500 
local leaders in nine countries by 2026, USD 5 million for community coastal 
projects by 2027, and 10 million hectares of coastal waters ? including 
mangroves and coral reefs ? protected or well-managed by 2027.
                                d.. The IFRC and The Nature Conservancy 
(TNC) have launched the Alliance for the Amazon, a 10-year, nature-based 
resilience collaboration announced at COP 30. Aiming to raise CHF 10 
million, it supports communities facing wildfires, droughts, floods, extreme 
heat, and displacement. Grounded in community-led work in Bolivia and 
Colombia, the Alliance pilots ecosystem restoration, climate-smart 
agriculture, and community health.

                              Welcome to Top of the COP, a daily roundup of the Global Climate Action Agenda highlights, brought to you by the Climate High-Level Champions. 

                              ?

                              Subscribe here to receive the daily Top of the COP as soon as it?s published.
                             
                       
                              Driving the Day:




                              More than 295 million people across 53 countries faced acute food insecurity in 2024, a number that has climbed for six consecutive years. This is an age of agricultural abundance ? the world produces enough food to nourish ten billion people ? yet around 1.4 million people are facing catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity, the most severe classification on the global hunger scale.




                              What's driving this crisis isn't scarcity. It's conflict, climate shocks, and food systems that need transformation. Climate extremes have devastated harvests. Economic instability has pushed food prices beyond what families can afford, forcing impossible choices between rent and meals, medicine and groceries.




                              The paradox is this: the systems that have been built to feed humanity are simultaneously putting future food production at risk. Agriculture occupies nearly half of the world?s habitable land and generates a third of global emissions. Soil degradation affects 3.2 billion people worldwide. Fertiliser runoff chokes waterways while its production pumps greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. And as temperatures rise and weather patterns become more erratic, the smallholder farmers who produce most of the world's food ? often on degraded or marginal land ? find themselves on the front lines of the climate crisis.




                              Here in Bel?m, many of the nearly 200 party delegations come from countries that wrestle with these challenges firsthand: how do you lift people out of poverty, ensure food security for millions, and restore degraded landscapes ? all while protecting what remains of the world's most biodiverse ecosystems? Today's announcements across Axis 3 ?Transforming Food and Agriculture Systems? of the Global Climate Action Agenda suggest that there doesn?t have to be a choice between feeding people and healing the planet. The transformation begins with fixing the systems that connect farming, food, climate, and nature, also recognizing that farmers hold many of the solutions. 




                              Degraded farmland can be restored and made productive again. Fertiliser systems can be reimagined to feed crops, rather than feeding the atmosphere with emissions. And critically, the billions needed to realize this transformation can be mobilized if the financial architecture is put in place.




                              Here are today?s Action Agenda announcements live from COP 30: 




                              New Finance Accelerator (RAIZ) Aims to Restore Millions of Hectares of Degraded Farmland Worldwide




                              Nine countries today announced their support for an innovative new global accelerator aimed at restoring degraded farmland and mobilizing the finance needed to do it at scale ? an effort that is essential to protecting food supplies and slowing climate change.




                              Nearly 1 billion hectares of the world?s agricultural land ? over 20% ? is already degraded, reducing yields and pushing farmers into forests and other natural ecosystems. Officials say the damage is reversible: restoring just 10% of degraded cropland could bring back 44 million tonnes of food each year, enough to meet the nutritional needs of 154 million people.




                              But investment remains far from what?s required. The sector faces a USD 105 billion funding gap, and private investors ? who could contribute up to USD 90 billion ? often hesitate due to high upfront costs and slow returns. Governments can help lower those risks.




                              The new Resilient Agriculture Investment for net-Zero land degradation (RAIZ) accelerator is designed to do exactly that. Led by Brazil, with backing announced today from Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, Saudi Arabia, New Zealand, Norway, Peru and the United Kingdom, the accelerator will help governments map degraded land, identify viable restoration projects and build financing tools that can attract private capital.




                              The initiative builds on lessons from Brazil?s experience with Green Way and Eco Invest, which mobilized nearly USD 6 billion in public debt and commercial loans to restore up to 3 million hectares of pastureland. These lessons will shape how RAIZ supports countries to build tailored financing tools that leverage public funds to crowd in private capital.




                              The accelerator will be hosted by Brazil?s Ministry of Agriculture under the FAO FAST Partnership, with technical support from the UNCCD G20 Global Land Initiative, the Food and Land Use Coalition, the Green Climate Fund, CGIAR, the World Bank and others. RAIZ directly advances Axis 3 of the Action Agenda and will be delivered by partners of the Action Agenda?s Activation Group on land restoration and sustainable agriculture.




                              Brazil and UK Scale up Low-carbon Fertilisers, Targeting Emissions Cuts Across Global Food Systems




                              Brazil and the United Kingdom today announced a joint plan to speed the shift to low-carbon fertilisers worldwide, outlining the need for new standards, market incentives and investment programmes aimed at cutting emissions from one of the fastest-growing contributors to climate change. The plan underpins the Bel?m Declaration on Fertilisers, issued the same day, which calls for cleaner production, better nutrient efficiency and stronger environmental safeguards. 




                              The plan ? known as the COP 30 Plan to Accelerate Fertiliser Solutions ? sets out concrete actions across policy, supply, and demand. Supporting organizations include CGIAR, FAO, the International Energy Agency, the International Fertilizer Association, UNIDO, the World Bank, World Resources Institute, and major industry and finance coalitions.




                              First, the Hydrogen Council and UNIDO, along with other industry and government partners, will create the world?s first international standard for low-emission fertilisers, including a shared lifecycle accounting system. The new standard is meant to give farmers, buyers and investors clarity ? and give regulators a basis for future policy.




                              The plan also launches two major demand-creation initiatives: a low-emissions ammonia fertiliser initiative to coordinate public-private investment in early-stage projects, and a global buyers alliance to pool demand, helping producers achieve scale more quickly.




                              Third, on the supply side, countries will receive tailored support to help accelerate investment in new low-carbon fertiliser plants, especially in emerging economies capable of producing clean ammonia with competitive renewable energy. These programmes will bring developers, energy providers, financiers and agricultural buyers together to unblock permitting, financing and infrastructure barriers.




                              Finally, the plan includes a farm-level strategy to reduce emissions from fertiliser use, using value-chain partnerships and digital tools ? including AI systems that help farmers optimize nutrient application and improve soil health. The plan also identifies the need for innovation centres to drive investment and turn knowledge into best practices on farms to boost nutrient use efficiency, such as the Centre of Excellence in Fertilisers and Plant Nutrition (CEFENP) in Brazil. 




                              Together, officials say, these measures are designed to deliver a coordinated push to cut emissions from fertiliser production and use ? a sector that straddles agriculture, heavy industry and energy, and requires unified global action.




                              Why this matters:

                              As opposed to a new pledge, the Brazil?UK plan outlines how the shift to low-carbon fertilisers will be delivered and financed.The COP 30 plan is designed to bring coherence to a scattered field, connecting innovation, standards, finance and farmer-level adoption.




                              The effort responds to warnings highlighted in this year?s Breakthrough Agenda report, which highlights that overuse of fertiliser is causing ecosystem damage and crop losses valued at USD 3.4 trillion annually, while underuse ? especially in Africa ? weakens soils, widens yield gaps and undermines food security. 




                              As COP 30 Focuses on Implementation, 8 Countries Show Food Systems Transformation Already Underway




                              COP 30 has been billed as the "COP of implementation," yet with announcements landing constantly across Bel?m, that story can be hard to trace. Today, the Alliance of Champions for Food Systems Transformation demonstrated what implementation actually looks like: releasing detailed progress reports showing how founding members are turning commitments into funded, implementable national programmes.




                              Today?s announcement of three new members ? Colombia, Italy, and Vietnam ? illustrates that scaling in action. The progress of Alliance members offers concrete proof of what works when governments integrate climate, agriculture, and nature goals:




                                a.. Cambodia?s NDC 3.0 includes halving deforestation by 2030, restoring 96,000 hectares of degraded ecosystems, and scaling climate-smart agriculture. 
                                b.. Sierra Leone launched a new insurance product for smallholder farmers to protect smallholder farmers against climate-related risks, alongside the rehabilitation and development of over 24,000 hectares of farmland and irrigation systems for rice cultivation. 
                                c.. Norway established climate objectives through 2035, supported by new regulations ? including restrictions on processed food advertising to children, legislation to cut food waste, and expanded support for organic farming. 
                                d.. Brazil unveiled three major initiatives at COP 30: the Tropical Forests Forever Facility, to reward forest conservation; TERRA, to scale agroecology through blended finance; and RAIZ, to mobilize investment in farmland restoration. 



                              Why this matters:

                              The expansion to eight countries today at COP 30 ? adding Colombia, Italy, and Vietnam to the founding five ? signals that this approach is replicable. Countries with vastly different contexts are recognizing that food systems transformation requires coordinating across agriculture, environment, health, trade and finance to blend funding streams and align policies. That coordination is what makes transformation financially viable rather than just technically possible.




                              This is what implementation looks like when it scales: proven approaches moving from pioneer countries to a growing coalition, with the financial mechanisms, policy changes and measurable commitments that turn announcements into reality.
                             
                       
                                  
                             
                       
                              In case you missed it
                             
                       
                              And, in case you missed it, here is a roundup of more stories happening across COP 30. 




                                a.. Brazil, Colombia, Saudi Arabia, Armenia and Mongolia ? representing the current or incoming Presidencies of one of the three Rio Conventions on climate, biodiversity and land degradation ? issued a joint declaration committing to coordinate action by businesses, Indigenous Peoples and civil society. The statement aims to align the groundswell of initiatives launched across recent COPs so they deliver for climate, nature and land simultaneously rather than in silos. With 2026 marking another "triple COP year" when all three conventions meet, the Bel?m Joint Statement provides a roadmap for integrated action that stretches limited funding further and avoids duplicating efforts. The move recognizes that climate, biodiversity and land degradation are inseparable problems requiring coordinated solutions -- restoring a degraded forest, for instance, stores carbon, protects species and prevents desertification all at once. 
                                b.. The National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) Implementation Alliance, a new Plan to Accelerate Solutions under the COP 30 Action Agenda, was launched with backing from the COP 30 Presidency, Italy, Germany, UNDP, and others. The Alliance brings together governments, UN agencies, multilateral and development banks, private investors, philanthropies, and technical partners to coordinate and scale NAP implementation globally. Working alongside other COP 30 Plans to Accelerate Solutions such as Fostering Investable National Planning and Implementation for Adaptation and resilience (FINI) and supported by efforts like the Investors Resilience Challenge and UNEP FI?s climate-risk integration work, this new platform will strengthen cooperation, build investment-ready enabling environments, and mobilize catalytic public and private finance to turn NAPs into real, country-led action on the ground. Learn more about Action Agenda plans to accelerate solutions that strengthen climate adaptation and resilience. 
                                c.. More than 1,000 businesses and financial institutions have endorsed the Nature Positive for Climate Action call to action ? a seven-fold increase since its launch at COP28. The call to action aligns private sector commitments with government policies to create what organizers describe as a "nature positive feedback loop" ? where business ambition reinforces policy action, strengthening climate and biodiversity outcomes. 
                                d.. An initial USD 5 million commitment from the Bezos Earth Fund, Coca-Cola, AKO Foundation, and others is serving as a ?blueprint? for funding the restoration of lands belonging to Indigenous Peoples and local communities in the Amazon. The first phase of ?Fundo Flora? in 2026, will finance USD 10 million in total, supporting 45 local organizations, including assisted natural regeneration and bioeconomy initiatives. With USD 5 million already secured, Fundo Flora is seeking a matching USD 5 million by May 2026.

                        In 2024, Vermont passed an essential piece of legislation aimed at holding major polluters accountable for climate change. This policy, known as the Climate Superfund Act, requires companies to pay for their carbon emissions. This is an important step towards averting the worst-case-scenario for global warming. Now, in a time when this type of policy should be used across the country, Trump's Department of Justice wants to kill it. But we won't let him.



                        Sign the petition to tell the Department of Justice to leave the Climate Superfund Act untouched, and demand other states enact similar policies!



                        The Trump Administration is claiming the policy is unlawful, and asking a federal court in Burlington to declare the Superfund Act unconstitutional and unenforceable. Meanwhile, wildfires are destroying our forests and making the air toxic to breathe, floods are ravaging homes and businesses, and drought is forcing hundreds of thousands of people to become climate refugees. It doesn't have to be this way. The DoJ must drop this asinine case against the Climate Superfund Act, and more states must stand in solidarity with Vermont and pass similar legislation! If you agree, sign the petition!

                        Slaughterhouses and meatpacking facilities are a huge source of pollution in the U.S., not just from the carbon dioxide that livestock emit, but also through toxic wastewater. Meat production plants release pollutants including phosphorus, nitrogen, and other chemicals associated with cleaning the animals, floors, and equipment. Meat facilities' wastewater also contains feces and bacteria like E. coli.

                        A Biden-era rule from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was set to come into effect that would have been a game changer for limiting pollution from meat industry facilities in the United States.



                        But Trump has yet again signaled that he would rather protect corporate profits than the safety of our air and water. Instead of upholding the science-backed new rule, Trump reversed the EPA's wastewater regulation.

                        Researchers estimate that meat processing and packing facilities release over 110 million pounds of nitrogen and phosphorus pollution annually. That means in the past decade alone, these vile facilities have polluted our waters with over one billion pounds of phosphorus. This pollution causes algal blooms, releasing toxins, killing fish and threatening nearby human communities.

                        Meat facilities often spray this contaminated, toxin and bacteria-filled wastewater out into fields in the surrounding community. It seeps into the ground water, sprays the sides of people's homes, and lingers in the air. Drinking water contaminated with these toxins has been linked to cancer, thyroid disease, and nervous system damage. To make matters worse, low-income people and people of color are disproportionately likely to live within one mile of rivers and streams polluted by the meat industry.



                        The rule would have imposed limits on over 120 different meat industry facilities in the United States. This could have been a huge victory for the environment and public health, protecting millions of Americans from the dangerous consequences of meat industry-related pollution.

                        Luckily, a coalition of environmental and public health organizations have sued the Trump Administration's decision. This lawsuit to protect public health and the environment is a step in the right direction ? but we can't wait around and hope that courts uphold the obviously beneficial EPA rule. We must demand that the Trump Administration itself simply reinstate the EPA's Clean Water Act regulations NOW! Sign the petition if you agree!

      Climate crisis could kill over a million more 
      Donald Trump's policies are fueling death across the Global South.

      Hello and welcome to the Ek? newsletter.

      Climate death
             

      As if the consequences of cutting USAID weren?t enough, a new analysis from ProPublica and The Guardian projects that US President Donald Trump?s climate policies will result in over a million excess deaths in the future. 

      Researchers found that Trump?s emissions standards rollback, among other policies, will lead to excess gases in the next decade and damage global efforts to tackle the climate crisis. One analysis estimates the president?s agenda will add 7 billion tons of emissions to the atmosphere by 2030.

      Unsurprisingly, most of the impact will be felt in the Global South. Leaders from around the world are gathering for the COP30 conference in Belem, Brazil, in hopes of negotiating some solution to the crisis. But Trump and the US government are nowhere to be found.

      ?Prior to Trump, we had the most ambitious climate policy that the US has ever come up with?our best effort to date by far of addressing this growing problem. When we roll these things back, it is fundamentally affecting the damages we?re going to see around the world.??Marshall Burke, Stanford University Doerr School of Sustainability economist

      No cease, all fire

      Attacks continue in Lebanon and Gaza as Israel flouts both international law and the ceasefire negotiated last month. 

      In Lebanon, at least 13 people are dead after Israel struck a Palestinian refugee camp in the south of the country. Attacks on Gaza left 25 dead and over 77 wounded. 

      Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said, unsurprisingly, that he does not consider the war to be over. 

      Since the ceasefire, Israel has carried out 393 strikes on Gaza.

      G20 exposes inequality of crises

      The G20 is set to meet this weekend in Johannesburg as the climate crisis impacts South Africa. 

      Major storms have pummeled South Africa for a decade. Weather disasters have impacted the Global South even as richer countries continue to add to warming. 

      Trump is boycotting the event over unfounded, racist conspiracy theories about anti-white attacks in South Africa. The US president is threatening the summit against issuing a statement from the G20. 

      Still, some researchers and advocates are hopeful that the conference could lead to action on climate?even symbolically.

      ?The ravages of the climate are directly linked to the ravages of inequality,? Open Society Foundations President Binaifer Nowrojee

      (ISS Africa) (ABC) (AP) (Bloomberg) 

      Mexican sovereignty under attack

      Trump has continually threatened to send the US military to neighbouring Mexico, but he has, so far, been rebuffed. 

      Recently, however, the rhetoric has been heating up. The US president is musing about striking inside Mexico. Such a move would be a massive escalation and risk a broader conflict. 

      Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has rejected the offer, calling for cooperation instead. But the US leader has continued to suggest that the military might make the move. 

      It?s a sticky situation for Mexico, which is inseparably tied to the US economically. US and Mexican companies have interests in maintaining a strong and, importantly, peaceful relationship. But weapons providers also have an interest in conflict on the border. 

      ?We?ve said this with the State Department, with Marco Rubio, and they have understood, so much so that the understanding we have with them is one of collaboration and coordination. And the first points make very clear the respect for sovereignty, respect for our territoriality, and that there is collaboration and coordination without subordination.??Claudia Sheinbaum

      (El Pais) (Democracy Now!) (NBC)

      Here?s your campaign of the day
             

        Trump?s deportation machine is tearing children from their parents?and Big Tech is powering it. These companies are making millions while families are ripped apart, and they?ll keep doing it unless we rise up.

        Spotify is running ads to hire ICE agents. Amazon and Palantir are powering databases to track families, while Salesforce is offering hiring tools to add 10,000 new ICE agents. This web of companies are building the backbone of Trump?s deportation system?but it?s also where we can break it.

        These contracts exist because they?re lucrative. But massive public backlash from customers, the public, and shareholders can turn them into a liability. Some CEOs are already retreating?and together we can force the rest to follow.

      Put the pressure on

            Dear friends, 

             

            We would really appreciate it if your organization could consider signing on.  

            Forwarding an email from Kanna / Friends of the Earth Japan

            sdaisuke at rice.ocn.ne.jp 

             

            Dear colleagues, 

            The ADB Board meeting on 24 November is coming up soon. At this meeting, it is highly likely that the proposed revision of the energy policy ? including the lift of the ban on nuclear power support ? will be decided.  

             

            To raise concerns from international civil society and draw attention to the problems with ADB?s policy shift, we?re putting together a joint statement. You can find the draft here: 

            https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tPDfNEJZ226M1uA_c_DGY2A2pD6tHyOVsyD-3QRvy4k/edit?tab=t.0 

             

            We plan to release it on November 25. 

             

            We would really appreciate it if your organization could consider signing on. If you can join, please submit your organization?s name, the signatory?s name and title, and the other details through this form by 17:00 (JST) on 24 November: 

             

            https://forms.gle/utp5FLHwH1A9rh518 

             

            Thanks so much for your support and cooperation. 

             

            Best, 

            Kanna 

            Friends of the Earth Japan 



           
                    
           
     

            Dear friends, 
             
            ?Please spread this? 
            Please endorse the following International petition. 
            "Say No to Nuclear Financing ? World Bank and ADB, Why Turn Away from the Right Path?" 
            https://chng.it/G9MCKn6Gpv 
             
            Why this petition matters: 
             
            The World Bank and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) are international financial institutions funded by governments to support economic development, poverty reduction, and infrastructure. 
             
            Until now, both institutions have avoided supporting nuclear power projects for the  following reasons: 
             
            nuclear proliferation risks 
            serious concerns over safety 
            radioactive waste 
            extremely high costs 
             
            On June 10, the World Bank?s Board decided to lift its ban on financing nuclear projects. 
             
            The ADB is currently reviewing its energy policy, and indications suggest it may also move to allow support for nuclear power. 
             
            However, the problems of nuclear power ? safety risks, radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and high costs ? remain unresolved. 
             
            Introducing nuclear power in developing countries would impose major risks and costs not only on today?s citizens but also on future generations. 
             
            For these reasons, we are preparing to send the following petition to both the World Bank and ADB. We ask for your support by adding your signature. We will submit all signatures and comments to the World Bank and ADB. 
             
            ?Let?s act together to prevent today?s decisions from burdening tomorrow?s generations.

      In previous editions?
      #10 Lying has become a business. And it?s making billions
      #9 COP30 starts here: the cost of climate lies
             

      Oii (Hi!), from COP30 (again), where by now no one has any doubts: safeguarding climate information integrity is key to making climate action work.

      A lot of people stopped me in the halls of Bel?m to ask whether, five years ago, when I created Lies Have a Price (?Mentira Tem Pre?o?) to expose the cost of the supply chain of climate lies, I ever imagined we?d make it onto COP30?s official agenda. And the answer is: I did imagine it. Or better: ?GUA! My favorite expression from Par?, said with all the affection it deserves.

      Seeing history change while you?re part of the solution is what keeps me going.

      For the first time, climate information integrity entered COP?s official agenda, with a Brazilian special envoy: Frederico Assis. The opening came with a speech by President Luiz In?cio Lula da Silva stressing the need to deliver ?a new defeat to climate deniers.? One week later, the UN Secretary-General stated: ?There can be no climate action without information integrity.?

             

      The second achievement was also unprecedented: a collective movement involving hundreds of people and organizations from science, technology, grassroots leadership, journalism, advertising, health, and the socioenvironmental and private sectors. This ecosystem understood that climate disinformation affects us all. That?s why they came together to demand concrete solutions, formalized in an open letter published by CAAD on November 12. It was powerful to open this conversation inside the COP with so many committed people.

      The third breakthrough was the launch of the Declaration on Information Integrity, with Jo?o Brant (Brazil?s Secretary for Digital Policy), Charlotte Scaddan (senior UN advisor), Guilherme Canela (UNESCO director) and representatives from the new signatory countries. The document is clear: countries commit to promoting information integrity at every level ? international, national, and local ? while respecting human rights and the principles of the Paris Agreement.

      As Brant announced the new signatories, his phone kept buzzing. Two more countries had just joined. Total at that moment: 13 committed nations.

      The fourth achievement is ours: we launched the Climate Information Integrity Dossier, in three languages (Portuguese, English, and Spanish), in both digital and print formats. The dossier reveals the cost of the climate-lie supply chain and highlights an essential point: the new wave of climate denial is economic.

      (Side note: the COP president himself, Andr? Corr?a do Lago, said exactly that in an interview with TV Brasil.)

      The fifth achievement was witnessing a wave of integration around this agenda: more than 100 panels and activities with partners discussing information integrity ? on social media, in action plans, in ongoing projects, in conversations, and on COP stages.

      Ship?s log: millions of people pulled into the daily stream of climate lies at COP

             

      After coffee came the lie of the day. Sounds like a joke, but that?s really how our mornings started. And the numbers were influencer-level. By the 17th, we had logged 171 disinformation posts in nine days, each one reaching an average of 300,000 people. The peak came on Day 2, when climate lies reached a combined 17 million.

      And speaking of posts: what do most of the top-performing COP posts have in common?

      (We?ll get to that.)

      The hashtag FLOP30

      The anti-COP campaign even had its own hashtag: FLOP30 - 'Flop' means failure. 

             

      Rafa stepping in to explain Brazilian internet teen slang - feels like.

      Not every disinformation post used FLOP30, but almost every FLOP30 post had disinformation. It?s an old tactic, and definitely not a Brazilian invention. Climate deniers have been calling COP a ?flop? on social media since at least COP26. And again at COP27, COP28, and COP29.

      This was another finding from the Observatory for Information Integrity (Oii, remember ;), in partnership with a CAAD researcher. Every day, she tracked the 50 most-viewed posts about COP30 and, using our Reference Guide, flagged which ones contained disinformation tactics.

      The Lie-O-Meter blew up on the 11th: 17.9 million total reach

      On Day 2, the main theme of the lies and distortions was an Indigenous protest at the entrance of the Blue Zone, the official restricted area where negotiations take place. Of all the top-viewed posts that day, 46 percent were filled with lies or misleading narratives made to engage easily.

      The targets: Indigenous peoples and activists.

      Each post averaged 750,000 impressions and around 30,000 likes and comments. Average, okay? Not the total. The tactics repeat, and so do the prejudices: latching onto whatever is trending to claim Indigenous people are manipulated, or to link activism to terrorism.

             

      TRUMP

      Day 10: 8.7 million total reach

      The big engine of disinformation on the first day of the conference was a message from former U.S. president Donald Trump about a story you?ve seen here before: the road that was never built for COP, but that keeps being used as bait. Of the 50 most-viewed COP posts on Day 10, 18 contained disinformation, with an average reach of nearly 500,000 per post.

             

      German Chancellor Friedrich Merz

      A rough day, and not just for German diplomacy. Almost half of the top posts contained disinformation tactics. Combined reach: 3.6 million. The lie of the day claimed there was a ?global feeling? that COP was a total disaster.

             

      Aldo Rebelo

      He owned the spotlight. The former congressman posted stories we?ve mapped countless times: that NGOs ?control? the Amazon as if it were under siege, even though we know what actually expanded there was organized crime. And that conservation is the enemy of progress. Straight-up stenography journalism never helps. Guess what happened? A great video to heat up a dead Sunday on social media.

             

      The price of the coxinha

      Days 8 and 9: 8.8 million total reach.

      Did you see that? The story about overpriced food in the Blue Zone became a stage for two politicians, Congressman Rog?rio Barra from Par? (PL) and Senator Cleitinho Azevedo from Minas Gerais (Republicanos), to make baseless accusations about the event?s food-service contract. Barra?s Instagram post reached 578,000 people and Cleitinho?s reached 425,000. Both had more than 20,000 likes, comments, and shares.

             

      Back to the question: looking across the posts, what did most screenshots have in common?

      The bait: warnings about scandal, terrorism, or corruption, without evidence.

      Who: politicians (current, former, and aspiring), Revista Oeste, and Brasil Paralelo.

      The reputation layer: lots of blue verification badges on Meta and X.

      There are places on Earth where wild nature rules. But where most humans now find themselves, local ecosystems have been weakened to a morbid state, and the power of nature has faded from people?s worldview.

      The two photos below were taken just ten days apart in autumn 2025. I love the bright fall colors in both, yet the worlds they depict are as far apart in natural complexity as one could imagine.

             

      The first photo shows an untamed tributary of a tributary of the Yenisey river in Siberia. The reddish layer on the water is a drift of tree seeds which my great friend Antonio Nobre refers to as the most sophisticated technology on Earth. These tiny vessels have been carrying life forward for millions of years.

      The second photo shows local people practicing their national sport on the degrading pastures in Central Asia. According to Professor Emil Shukurov, a prominent Kyrgyz ecologist, it was somewhere in these highlands that, hundreds of years ago, the heroes of the national epos used to lose their way for days as they wandered through the forests. Now this landscape, dominated by large animals, has been pared down to a stark form, radically depleted in complexity.

      What are the climatic consequences of this simplification?
      We were discussing this question at the United Nations Development Program office in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan. The conversation began with the tragedy of the commons: local businesses rarely consider the long-term ecological, environmental, let alone climatic damage caused by overgrazing. But while preparing for the talk, I checked what major global companies at the World Economic Forum list as their key risks for the next ten years. Ecosystem collapse was right at the top, second only to extreme weather events.

             

      https://www.weforum.org/publications/global-risks-report-2025/

      Could this explicit risk recognition by major concentrations of global wealth translate into more extensive and effective nature-protection policies? To increase this likelihood, I thought it might help to show the broader public that the top risk, extreme weather events, is also directly tied to the loss of ecosystem wellbeing.

      To this end, we recall that the familiar narrative links extreme weather events directly to global warming. (We discussed this recently in ?The Rabbit?Duck Illusion in Climate Messaging: An Example from Wildfire Policy.?) Yet while the qualitative link for the global warming appears straightforward?more CO?, a greenhouse gas, leads to a higher global mean surface temperature?the quantitative picture is less certain. The best global climate models still differ by about a factor of three in their projections of warming for a doubling of CO? (as discussed in another post here).

      The situation with local temperature extremes is even more challenging, because what matters is not just the mean temperature but the entire temperature probability distribution. And it turns out that the global climate models do not properly capture the trends in extreme temperatures.

      Below is a figure from a recent study by Kornhuber et al. 2024, ?Global emergence of regional heatwave hotspots outpaces climate model simulations?, showing the difference in the rates of mean and extreme local warming in observations (red) versus models (black), along with their ratio (purple, right axis).

             

      Here, the 99th percentile represents the median day among the hottest 2% of days in a year in a given location on land (as resolved by the ERA5 dataset), while the 87.5th percentile approximates an average summer day. If the hottest days warm faster (or more slowly) than the average summer day, the values on the horizontal axis are positive (or negative), respectively. The analysis covers the period from 1958 to 2022. That both distributions peak at zero means that in most cases the 87.5th percentile warms at the same rate as the 99th percentile (which can result from a particular choice of the percentile values).

      The figure above shows that models greatly underestimate both the cases where extreme temperatures rise faster than an average summer day and the cases where they rise more slowly (that is, where extreme trends are buffered relative to the mean trend). Instead, the models tend to produce more locations where mean and extreme temperatures increase at similar rates.

      So what could be the reason? Kornhuber et al. 2024 point to several factors, with an explicit mention of the hydrological cycle and vegetation:

        Simpson et al. (40) found that trends in humidity, which are strongly dependent on the accurate depiction of rainfall patterns (38), evaporation (which is partially controlled by vegetation), and hydrological characteristics of the land surface, including vegetation are still not accurately reproduced, which could in part explain the discrepancies reported here.

      Nevertheless, the overall conclusion, announced as usual already in the abstract (see ?Why it is important to read scientific papers beyond their abstracts?), is

        Our results highlight the need to better understand and model the drivers of extreme heat and to rapidly mitigate greenhouse gas emissions to avoid further harm from unexpected weather events.

      Natural ecosystems as a temperature buffer
      The buffering effect of ecosystems on temperature is tied to how they handle water ? both locally through transpiration and at larger scales through the regulation of atmospheric moisture transport (the biotic pump). Yet water seems to be a prohibited word when discussing the reciprocal links between climate and biodiversity.

      For example, in the recently released 10 New Climate Insights for 2025?2026, Insight 4 acknowledges the interdependence between climate change and biodiversity loss, using formulations like ?growing evidence suggests that further loss of biodiversity can contribute to climate change, creating a destabilising feedback.? (Consider that a quarter into the 21st century, this is still presented as a new insight.) However, the supporting text is entirely about carbon, with no mention of the W-word. It almost looks as if the researchers are afraid to walk on the liquid-water surface, preferring the solid carbon ground. Or is it a taboo waiting to be released, in the algorithm that is ruling the process? Yet without embracing how ecosystems move water, there is not the slightest hope of understanding Earth?s climate stability.

      There is another hidden caveat in the biodiversity?climate narrative. If biodiversity is understood simply as the number of species in a given area, that number alone does not characterize an ecosystem?s functionality or resilience. For example, early-successional habitats can maximize species counts, yet, being focused on self-recovery, they have limited capacity to regulate regional climatic conditions such as moisture transport. As a result, creating many early-successional habitats may temporarily boost local species numbers but weaken the forest?s overall ability to regulate climate and, hence, its own well-being. 

      How much space the early successional habitats (that are also home to large animals whom humans like to hunt, hence, for example, widespread complaints of German hunters that forest owners do not cut enough trees) occupy in a healthy forest has been determined by evolution from the condition of maximising the forest climate-regulating capacity rather than the number of species at each point. This climate-regulating function is rarely considered in biodiversity narratives weakening the appeal for conservation or even promotes policies that harm forest resilience (see ?Forest-clearing to create early-successional habitats: Questionable benefits, significant costs?).

      Returning to vegetation, water and temperature, destroying ecosystems leads to destabilization of the temperature regime, while their recovery helps buffer global temperature trends.

      Baker and Spracklen 2019 compared temperature changes that occurred from 2000 to 2013 in nearby locations with intact Amazonian forest and with slight (non-intact), moderate, and severe disturbance. They found, as shown in the third histogram below, that severely disturbed forests warmed by almost an order of magnitude more than undisturbed forests.

             

      Compare this to how global climate models handle temperature changes related to the removal of vegetation. Below is Fig. 7 from Lejene et al. 2017, which shows how models (LUCID and CMIP5) represent changes in maximum and minimum daily temperatures following vegetation removal. OBS refers to the observed differences in Tmax and Tmin between open land and forest, averaged over 22 paired sites in North America. We can see that the models do not reproduce even the sign of the effect.

             

      While vegetation clearing increases temperature extremes, the natural regrowth of forests can literally buffer a large region against global trends. This is what happened with the natural recovery of forests in the Eastern United States.

      Below is Figure 1 from Barnes et al. 2024,?A Century of Reforestation Reduced Anthropogenic Warming in the Eastern United States?, where panel C shows the temperature trends in 1900-2010. One can see the ?warming hole? in the East, with the region cooling when other regions were warming.

             

      This process cannot continue forever, since transpiration cannot increase without limit. However, with large-scale forest recovery, regional hydrology becomes more stable. 

      Of course, now that forest biomass has increased, local businesses may want to profit from the accumulated natural capital and return the landscape to a depauperate state (see the right bottom panel above), through measures such as the ?Fix Our Forests Act,? which opens forests to logging and burning. 

      This is the curse of resource abundance. When a resource is abundant, destroying is always cheaper than protecting. Once nothing is left, the recoverers arrive to rebuild the resource for the future destroyers. Stopping this vicious cycle requires intellect and will from human society.

      The bigger influence
      While the above temperature-related examples that show the role of vegetation are very vivid and often used in ecorestoration narratives, they are really only the tip of the iceberg. The main weather extremes come from changes in atmospheric circulation. 

      To understand why this is so, let us look at this picture of forest mediated ocean to land moisture transport.

             

      When the biotic pump works normally, moist air rises over the continent. Rain and clouds help cool the land surface. Meanwhile, over the ocean, where the air descends, there are no clouds and there is full sunshine. The area of descent warms. In the Amazon region, this creates what Antonio Nobre called the cold Amazon paradox, in which the air rises over the colder land surface and descends over the warmer ocean surface, something you do not see in textbooks.

      Now imagine that we disturb the forest by burning and logging, such that its hydrological power weakens. Since the ocean never has a shortage of water, the circulation pattern readily flips, and now there is descending air motion over the Amazon. This descending air motion, persistent as it was in 2023, caused extra heat due to less clouds and more sunshine as well as because air warms rapidly as it descends adiabatically (Fern?ndez-Alvarez et al. 2025).

      Let me digress from ecology for a moment and suggest that you pause to memorize this important fact. I bet most readers have been taught, or have heard, that warm air rises. Yet the strongest heatwaves and the highest temperature extremes are associated with persistent descending air. This is not only what happened in the Amazon in 2023; you can read about other similar events for example in the study by Hotz et al. 2024.

      Since it is mechanically costly to push warm air downward, this means that the work that makes it possible is done somewhere else, namely where condensation occurs and rain falls. It is the atmospheric steam engine that produces the power needed to push warm air down, a topic for another post.

      Therefore, disturbing vegetation, especially on a large scale, disrupts transpiration and atmospheric moistening and can lead to a situation in which the ocean wins the tug of war with land for moisture, causing positive temperature anomalies on land.

      Furthermore, natural forests not only facilitate ocean to land moisture import, but they also make it more stable by not allowing local condensation bursts. Forest trees can be compared to control rods in a nuclear reactor that protect the plant from explosion and ensure the peaceful use of enormous nuclear power. Likewise, forests tame the power of condensation, unlike hurricanes, which are more comparable to nuclear bombs than to power stations. When their control lessens, or is nonexistent, persistent local condensation wetspots can form, locking the atmosphere in this state for a prolonged period of time. This creates floods in one place and droughts and heatwaves in another.

      When admitting that climate science is on uncharted territory, it was suggested that the cause of unpredicted changes is the long-term correlations in atmospheric and oceanic currents. These changes, and the role of vegetation in them, are not adequately described by climate models. 

      Fighting climate change
      Now, if we are concerned about weather extremes, as the people at the World Economic Forum clearly are, reducing CO? levels does not seem to be a straightforward way to reduce these extremes, since they are not reproduced by climate models that describe CO?-driven climate change.

      Furthermore, while we still do not understand how air circulation changes, applying geoengineering methods to cool the planet, for example by spreading aerosols, is unlikely to bring about the desired climate stabilization. For air circulation, what matters are temperature and humidity gradients and their temporal evolution, and these depend on circulation itself. Even from a mechanical point of view, aerosol-based cooling might help lower the global mean temperature, but in theory it can lead to an even more destabilized circulation and more chaotic weather patterns. Adding aerosols is not thermodynamically equivalent to removing CO? or restoring disappearing cloud cover.

      Let me conclude with an example that I think is also very vivid. Suppose we continue weakening the biotic pump on land by destroying more and more forests. At the same time, ocean temperatures rise, and the amount of water vapor over the ocean increases as a result. Therefore, even if the land to ocean circulation weakens, this additional water vapor can partially compensate for the declining power of the biotic pump.

      Now suppose geoengineers succeed in reducing the global mean surface temperature. What happens then? Forests and ocean-to-land moisture transport continue to decline under human pressure, but now there is less water vapor in the air. In this situation, we can reasonably expect even more drastic disruptions of the water cycle across the planet.

      Let us stand up for our ecosystems and their complexity, and refuse to slide into the ecological illiteracy and one-dimensional thinking that our degrading environments can easily breed in us.

                                Not in This Desert Town

                                I RECENTLY RELOCATED to Tucson, Arizona, after a decade away. I always think of Tucson as a city where people come to dry out ? dermatologically, emotionally, or otherwise. (If you?re unfamiliar, Tucson is famous for having the same moisture level as a baked tortilla chip). So when I heard that someone wanted to build a massive data center here, my first thought was, Ah, a tech company trying to prove it can make Tucson even drier than it already is.

                                It was calling its proposal Project Blue, a mysterious name that sounds like a Cold War operation, or a rejected Gatorade flavor. It was, in fact, a proposal for a massive data center, reportedly linked to Amazon, that would suck millions of gallons of water every year.

                                At first, I wasn?t entirely sure what a data center did. I imagined endless halls where tech bros in North Face vests whispered sweet nothings into blinking machines. It turns out they?re just enormous, glorified basements for the internet. They hold your unread emails, abandoned online shopping carts, and questionable search histories in air-conditioned perpetuity. And they?re increasingly powering the artificial intelligence (AI) that?s demanding more and more data centers. Beyond the huge amounts of energy these centers require, those blinking machines that hold all this ?intelligence? get hot. Very hot. And to cool them, they need water ? a lot of it?.

                                Now, if there?s one thing I?ve learned about Tucson since moving back, aside from the fact that I shouldn?t eat the seafood, it?s that you don?t mess with the water. The water here is sacred. When word got out that this project might siphon hundreds of millions of gallons a year, the public did what concerned citizens of any city should do: They showed up in droves to yell at the government.

            SOS: Brazil?s President Lula ? hailed as a climate champion ? just greenlit plans for oil drilling at the mouth of the Amazon River.

            Brazil?s state-owned oil giant Petrobras has begun drilling into one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth ? despite Lula welcoming the world to the Amazon for the COP30 climate talks.

            But we can still reverse this devastating decision!

            A powerful coalition of eight Brazilian organizations and networks has filed an emergency court petition to cancel the drilling license. They?re fighting for the communities whose homes, waters, and futures are at risk ? and for the survival of our planet. But they need to quickly raise more funds to support their legal team ? and we can help.

            Can you urgently rush a donation to stop the Amazon drilling ? and defend wild places everywhere from toxic corporations?


            I'll donate $3
            I'll donate $4
             
            I'll donate $5
            I'll donate $9
            I'll donate another amount


            The mouth of the Amazon isn?t just any riverbasin. It?s a fragile ecosystem of mangroves, a great Amazon reef system, and sacred fishing grounds ? home to Indigenous and riverine communities who have protected it for generations. Defending this biome is essential to protect precious water resources and maintain a balanced climate for all of us.

            Drilling there risks catastrophic oil spills that could destroy fisheries and wipe out livelihoods. It threatens endangered species found nowhere else on Earth.

            And for what? The promise of ?economic growth? that never reaches the people living there. Time and again, oil companies like Petrobras have promised jobs and prosperity ? but what actually flows is pollution, and profit that only reaches company shareholders, not the communities left with poisoned rivers and broken promises.

            If Petrobras keeps drilling, it will set a dangerous precedent ? opening the floodgates for other oil companies to move in. Entire stretches of the Amazon coast could be auctioned off to fossil fuel giants.

            This isn?t just about one project ? it?s about the future of the entire Amazon basin and beyond. And once Petrobras drills its first well, there?s no going back. Which is why we MUST  suspend this license and stop the drilling.

            The court case is our best chance ? and our brave partners are putting it all on the line to fight back against one of the most powerful state corporations in Latin America. Now they urgently need funds to cover legal fees and communications to mobilize public outrage ? and they don?t have much time.

            If thousands of us around the world chip in today, we can fuel their fight ? and send a global message to Lula and Petrobras: the Amazon is NOT for drilling.

            Can you chip in to save the Amazon and wild places everywhere from toxic corporations? 


            I'll donate $3
            I'll donate $4
             
            I'll donate $5
            I'll donate $9
            I'll donate another amount


             Your donation will help power Ek? and our campaigns worldwide fighting for people and the planet. 

            The Ek? community has always been there when it matters most ? from taking on Big Tech to defending Indigenous rights and fighting fossil fuel giants. Together, we can amplify the voices of frontline defenders and stop Petrobras from destroying the Amazon.


            Thanks for all that you do, 
            Allison and the Ek? team

Top 10 species most likely to be impacted by attacks on the ESA This is important. We're all in this together.  
                    
           
            Hi Vladimir,

            I wanted to share this exclusive report with you. The Endangered Species Act is once again in the crosshairs and this report lists our nation?s most iconic species that will be the first to feel the impact if the Trump Administration and certain politicians in Congress get their way. 

            In the next week or two, the House Natural Resources Committee will have a hearing and vote on the ESA Amendments Act of 2025 - a radical rewrite of the Endangered Species Act. 



            Once it leaves Committee, the Endangered Species Coalition will focus all of our resources and efforts to stop it on the floor of the US House of Representatives, where Republicans have an ever so slim majority. Our network of activists, coalition partners, and supporters are making it clear to Republicans in swing states that they do not want to destroy America?s best idea and one of our most popular, bipartisan pieces of legislation. 



            To all of you, I extend my sincere thanks for your loyal support in this marathon of a fight to keep our imperiled wildlife safe. It?s because of you that we?re able to fight day in and day out. We?re raising a $200,000 ESA Defense Fund, of which we have more than $65,000 in hand. Your donation will be matched dollar for dollar. 



            We will continue to keep you updated on what?s unfolding in Washington, DC. Thank you for all that you do for Endangered Species Coalition, your passion for wildlife?endangered or otherwise, and your voice?together we are louder!

                        Corporate lobbyists for Big Ag and dirty energy have a clear incentive to thwart climate talks.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        Why Are 300 Big Agriculture Lobbyists Allowed to Attend and Influence the UN's Climate Change Conference?

                        Vladimir,


                        Cop30, run by the UN, is the world's largest global conference to fight climate change. So why is the UN allowing lobbyists for giant corporations ? including for Big Agriculture and fossil fuels ? to participate and actively impede negotiations?

                        The UN has released its provisional list of delegates attending the conference. Upwards of 300 people who will be attending are lobbyists for factory farms, fertilizer producers, and other big agriculture corporations. Meat and dairy lobbyists made up the largest proportion.

                        Research has continually shown that the agricultural industry is to blame for around 1/4 to 1/3 of all emissions in the world, and the 45 biggest meat- and dairy-producing companies combined emit around as many greenhouse gases as the country of Saudi Arabia.

                        These UN climate conferences are supposed to be places where world leaders and civil society representatives come together to protect our collective, global future. Why would it ever allow lobbyists from the very companies that are destroying our planet and our health? These are the very same industries that are hurting us and trying to block life-saving improvements to our world.



                        Luckily, we're not alone in our outrage and bewilderment. Activists from around the world are calling for the UN to ban lobbyists with both the fossil fuel industry and "Big Ag" from all future climate summits. We must amplify this call! Sign the petition!



                       
                 
           
                       
                 Thank you,

                        Celeste

                        P.S. These corporations have a clear conflict of interest and have every incentive to derail climate talks. They are not on our side! We cannot allow short-sighted, profit-grabbing corporations to ruin our world any further! Sign the petition.

                        Right now, plantation giant Rich Venture is ripping down Sarawak?s native forests in Malaysia to plant endless rows of bamboo?threatening wildlife, water, and Indigenous livelihoods.

                        The destruction has begun?but the communities are resisting. 

                        Tell Rich Venture to stop the bamboo plantation now!

                         Sign the petition 
                       
                 
            Right now in Malaysia, Sarawak?s native forests are being torn down to make way for a giant monoculture plantation of bamboo?a project that could devastate ecosystems and local communities for generations to come.

            The forests are home to the Kayan, Kenyah, Lahanan, Ukit, and Penan Indigenous communities who have cared for the land for generations. Now, plantation giant Rich Venture is completely disregarding their land rights and failing to properly consult them.

            Rich Venture just wants to get rich and doesn?t care what it destroys along the way. Earlier this year, bulldozers began tearing down Sarawak?s native forests?and the destruction is only going to ramp up.

            But Indigenous communities are fighting back. They?re in talks with the Sarawak Government and hoping to meet with the Premier very soon. We must act fast to back them and shine a global spotlight on this devastation?before even more of their ancestral forests are lost.

            Sign the petition: tell Rich Venture to stop the bamboo plantation and compensate local communities.

            These communities have already faced injustices. In the 1990s the construction of a mega-dam flooded 15 villages, displacing more than 9,000 people.

            And now Rich Venture wants to cut down swathes of the remaining native forest on the banks of the dam, which will result in erosion and sediment runoff that could flow straight into the Bakun Reservoir?threatening the water quality, fisheries, and food security for locals.

            Gibbons, clouded leopards and hornbills are also at risk of losing their habitats to over 28,000 football fields of bamboo which won?t provide any food or shelter to the native animals already struggling to survive.

            Local communities have asked Rich Venture that they be properly consulted and have access to management plans and environmental impact assessments but their requests have been completely disregarded.

            Add your name to the petition and help the Indigenous communities in Sarawak protect their native forests. 

            Together we?ve taken on big corporations destroying forests and won. We supported Forest Defenders fighting to stop palm oil giant Sin Heng Chan from destroying the Ulu Belaga forest?and a moratorium on new forest clearing has just been put in place!

            Let?s do it again and stop Rich Venture?s monoculture bamboo plantation.


             Sign the petition 
            Thanks for all that you do, 
            Nish, Julieta and the team at Ek?

Dear co-fighters and like-minded people, greetings!
I am signing a letter on Rogunskaya HPP on behalf of the International Socio-Ecological Union.
Svyatoslav Zabelin, Coordinator



??, 24 ????. 2025??. ? 08:43, Eugene Simonov <esimonovster at gmail.com>:

  Dear friends:


  RwB and Bankwatch compiled a thorough review of immense destructive impact  that the Rogun HPP dam may have on ecosystems and species:  https://rogun.exposed/pdf/2025_Rogun_Hydro_vs_Biodiversity.pdf  


  The Rogun ESIA is a robust example of fully neglecting large-scale destruction caused by dam development and its far-reaching impacts downstream, including those on World Heritage, Ramsar wetlands, critically endangered species, etc. We meticulously addressed every major flaw to recommend paths for revision and mitigation measures design. It is a pragmatic approach similar to our recent analysis of Rogun HPP resettlement issues (which already evoke the EIB interested reaction). 


  We plan to submit it to the top management of WB, AIIB supporting the project development and each banking institution seeking to finance the Rogun Dam.

  We invite you to sign a cover letter to demonstrate seriousness of the case and broad solidarity: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18SKp4wQRFZrQjZYvASF_e10bFiJdhR10Ltj0CDUIubo/edit?usp=sharing.
  PLEASE CONSIDER SIGNING HERE BY FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28 2025




  Sincerely
  Eugene Simonov

                                Dear subscribers,

                                The 30th UN Climate Conference (COP30) wrapped up last week with the adoption of the Bel?m Action Mechanism (BAM), a new framework to support a just transition. 

                                But negotiators failed to agree on indicators for the Global Goal on Adaptation, the roadmap on ending deforestation was dropped, and developed countries once again avoided firm commitments on climate finance.

                                Across the region, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Russia, and Kazakhstan remain low performers on climate action, while Russia received the ?Fossil of the Day? award. 

                                Ukraine plans to seek compensation from Russia for the war?s climate damage, Georgian activists are searching for safe spaces to work, and Central Asia discussed climate impacts on health and labor productivity.

                                At the end of this issue ? new opportunities for activists.

                                Best regards,
                                CAN EECCA Communications Manager
                                Aizirek Almazbekova

                                COP30

                                 
                             
                                 
                             
                                T?rkiye to Host COP31 in 2026
                                The next UN Climate Conference will take place in Antalya in 2026. Australia declined to host but its climate minister Chris Bowen will take part in preparatory discussions.

                                COP30 Adopts the Bel?m Action Mechanism
                                Countries agreed on the Bel?m Action Mechanism (BAM) to support a just transition that protects workers, Indigenous peoples, women, and youth, backed by financing for transition-related projects. Civil society groups welcomed the decision as a major win.

                                What Two Weeks of Negotiations in Bel?m Delivered
                                COP30 ended with mixed outcomes: no agreement on indicators for the Global Goal on Adaptation, no inclusion of the deforestation roadmap in the final decision, and no new binding commitments from developed countries on climate finance.

                                Global Energy Transition Investment Hits Record USD 2.4 Trillion
                                Investment in the clean-energy transition rose to USD 2.4 trillion in 2024, driven largely by developed countries and China. Renewables attracted USD 807 billion, though growth slowed sharply. Despite record totals, most developing countries remain severely underfunded, and grants make up less than 1% of all finance.

                                Gender Integration in NDC 3.0 Remains Limited
                                An analysis of 36 NDC 3.0 submissions shows that while 58% reference gender, only 22% fully integrate gender considerations into governance, planning, and implementation. Weak integration reduces the effectiveness of climate action and disproportionately affects women. 

                                Green Transition Creates Jobs but Unevenly
                                OECD countries are seeing growth in green jobs, but their share remains limited and concentrated in cities and high-skill sectors.

 Devastating Attack Yet on the Endangered Species Act

      This is important. We're all in this together.  
            ENDANGERED SPECIES COALITION
           
                    
           
            The Trump Administration Just Launched Its Most Devastating Attack Yet on the Endangered Species Act 
            TAKE ACTION
              
                     
           

            Hi Vladimir,



            The Trump administration has officially proposed sweeping new rules that would fundamentally weaken the Endangered Species Act, our nation?s most effective wildlife protection law. 



            If these rules move forward, they will make it harder to protect species on the brink of extinction, easier to erase existing protections, and nearly impossible to safeguard the habitats, plants, and animals need to survive. 
           
                     
           
            STOP TRUMP'S EXTINCTION PLAN 

                    
           
                    
           
                    
           

                    
           
                    
           
                    
           

                    
           
                    
           
                    
           

                    
           
                    
           

            Species like monarch butterflies, organ pipe cactus, manatees, red wolves, lesser long-nosed bats, and hundreds more could be pushed even closer to disappearing forever.



            This is one of the most dangerous attacks on wildlife we have ever seen.
           
            TAKE ACTION
              
                     
           
            Here?s what?s at stake. The proposed rules would:

            ? Allow decisions about protecting a species to be influenced by uncertain economic impacts instead of relying on scientific evidence. 

            ? Obstruct protections for species newly threatened by climate change and habitat destruction.

            ? Make it easier to delist imperiled wildlife before recovery is complete.

            ? Eliminate automatic protections for threatened species.

            ? Strip away critical habitat protections.
           
                     
           

            These rollbacks don?t just weaken the ESA ? they undermine the very idea that science should guide decisions about wildlife survival.



            And the timing could not be more dangerous. This comes alongside Trump administration efforts to weaken habitat protections, dismantle the Roadless Rule, roll back the Public Lands Rule, and even convene a hand-picked committee of political appointees to decide which species live or die.

                        Trump would do anything to please his AI billionaire friends. Even signing an executive order to bypass Congress and ban AI regulation.

                        The ban failed ridiculously in the Senate earlier this year thanks to massive public opposition.

                        We did it once, let's do it again.

                         Sign the petition 
                       
                 
            Trump and his allies in Congress are trying to pass a multi-year ban on AI regulation that would block progressive states like California from keeping greedy AI corporations in check.

            AI has already led to teen suicide and is being used to commit war crimes. State-level regulation in the US is one of the few hopes we have for our collective safety. Without it, the likes of Elon Musk and Sam Altman will have free rein to develop this technology with no guardrails. 

            Trump's cronies already tried to ram this ban through this year and it comically failed 99 votes to 1. Now Republicans like Ted Cruz are trying to sneak it into a must-pass defense bill, and Trump is threatening an Executive Order. 

            There is no doubt about this: vocal public opposition defeated the last attempt. We can do it again. Join the overwhelming outcry against Trump's AI moratorium: 

            No moratorium on AI regulation

            Earlier this year Republicans tried to include the moratorium as part of Trump?s ?big ugly bill? but it ultimately failed after both Democrats and Republicans voted against it in the Senate ? many citing child safety concerns. And opposition bubbled up from constituents to state-level politicians from both parties, even in deeply Republican states like Texas.

            Now Trump?s allies are trying to sneak the moratorium into the must-pass National Defense Authorization Act. And they are learning from their past mistakes ? likely ensuring that whatever they propose will have at least some concessions, like a moratorium on regulation for 5 years instead of 10. And Trump is backing them up with the threat of an Executive Order.

            This is why it?s crucial to raise a global outcry now. 

            AI safety will always be under threat from profit-driven tech execs and the politicians happy to have their pockets lined by them. More than ever we must build a strong rally cry against runaway AI and force all lawmakers to listen. 

            Tell US lawmakers: no moratorium on AI regulation

                        Right now, Americans are stuck choosing between outrageously expensive flights and long, unaffordable train routes. Meanwhile, countries around the world enjoy fast, affordable, national rail systems that make travel easier, greener, and cheaper. Americans want alternatives. The problem is that in most cases, flying is still cheaper and faster than taking a train, which is a stunning failure of national transportation policy in a country with such enormous resources.



                        Sign now to demand that the U.S. finally build a high-speed national rail network and make non-plane travel accessible to everyone.



                        The U.S. should not be bailing out airlines year after year while leaving the rest of our transportation system stuck in the 20th century. We deserve options that are fast, sustainable, affordable, and reliable, just like millions of people rely on every day in Japan, France, Spain, South Korea, Germany, and beyond. It's time to change course. Sign the petition to demand an affordable, modern, high-speed national rail system for the United States!

                        The Christmas Island shrew, the only shrew found in Australia, is now extinct. While there have been no sightings of the shrew since 1984, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature has declared the long-suspected reality tragically official. Unfortunately, the shrew is only one of many mammals lost forever in Australia. Since the 1700s, Almost 40 Australian mammals have gone extinct which is a rate far higher than any other country. But it doesn't have to be this way, and conservation commitments right now can protect any more species from going extinct in Australia. 



                        Sign now to tell the Parliament of Australia: uphold your commitment to no more extinctions and protect the country's remaining species by adequately funding conservation efforts!



                        In 2022, Australia pledged to halt the extinction crisis, demonstrating an exciting commitment to the country's species, many of which are currently at high risk. But, while many scientists agreed the pledge was necessary, some warned that the roughly $224 million the Australian government had set aside to tackle the extinction crisis was not enough. Some estimate that over $1 billion per year is needed to actually end extinction in Australia. That may seem like a lot of money, but keeping species alive is priceless. Sign the petition now to tell the Parliament of Australia to fully fund its anti-extinction programs to adequately protect all living species!

                        To save the northern spotted owl, the U.S. government is planning to... kill nearly 500,000 other owls? This makes no sense at all!

                        Barred owls are beautiful, intelligent, and fascinating creatures. Yet the U.S. government is blaming them  for massive population declines with northern spotted owls. Its solution to the looming extinction crisis for northern spotted owls is to slaughter innocent barred owls, including in protected areas like national parks.

                        This ridiculous and cruel plan won't address the root problems at all. Research shows that the true threats to owl populations are primarily from years and years of industrial logging. This human activity has decimated birds' habitat and intensely constrained the resources they need to survive. Instead of taking accountability for humans' role in this extinction risk, the government is scapegoating another wildlife species.


                        As if this culling program wasn't already bad enough, it's also wildly expensive. Killing nearly a half a million barred owls will cost over $1 billion dollars of taxpayer money, or roughly $3,000 per owl killed.

                        This plan sets a dangerous precedent. If allowed to move forward, this would mark the largest bird cull in U.S. history. Slaughtering some animals to allegedly help others is not conservation.

                        Authorities should take seriously the actual risks posed to the northern spotted owl and protect it from extinction. There are much more effective, humane, and inexpensive ways to actually do that. It's time for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to abandon this horrendous plan.

            Rainforest protection is not a profit machine: Stop the TFFF!
            Dear friends of the rainforests,

            Together with 50,000 Indigenous people, environmentalists, and human rights defenders, we took to the streets in Bel?m, Brazil. The people around us spoke many languages ? but they all voiced the same demand:

            We need real and just climate action.

            The People?s Summit, held alongside the global climate conference COP30, brought together activists from around the world and left us inspired and energized. Once again, we experienced how essential our networks are and how strong our partners remain ? many of whom joined us in Bel?m. The warmth, hospitality, and joy of life we encountered in Brazil deeply moved us.

            The official COP30 conference, in contrast, told quite a different story:

            The fate of the world?s rainforests is being gambled away. At COP30 in Bel?m, governments launched the Tropical Forests Forever Facility (TFFF) ? a scheme that turns living forests into a financial product. Billions in public money will secure investor profits, while Indigenous forest defenders receive only cents per hectare, and the projects funded can still drive logging, mining, and agribusiness.

            This is a dangerous diversion from real solutions. Tropical forests are our last line of defense for the climate and home to millions of people who protect them with their lives.

            Together with 240 organizations, Rainforest Rescue is raising the alarm: Stop the TFFF. Rainforest protection is not a profit machine.

            Please add your voice now and sign our petition to tell governments and the UN: Forests are not Wall Street assets ? they are life.

                  TAKE ACTION  
                  Thanks for being involved,

            Voices from the front lines
            The Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF), an investment fund introduced at the COP30 global climate conference, claims to support rainforest protection. However, many Indigenous groups and environmentalists dispute this, arguing that it promotes financialization and profit rather than true conservation.

            President Trump has issued a new directive that lists 'anti-capitalism' views (among others) as an indicator of domestic terrorism. 

            For a corporate campaigning organization like Ek?, it's a chilling reminder of why we have to Trump-proof our movement, right now. That means moving our tech outside the US and beefing up our legal defence. But it's costly ? and we need to cover our campaigning, too. 

            Can you chip in to help us defend our movement in the new Trump era?

            I?m worried. Trump has a way to shut down Ek?. And lots of reasons to do it.

            Ek? is a global organization, but like much of the internet, our servers, data, email list, and website are all housed in the US. And mostly with companies that have now aligned themselves with Trump. They could shut us down in a heartbeat.

            Would they? Well, we campaigned against Trump throughout his last term and we?ve already started again. And we constantly fight these billionaire tech companies, like our historic data privacy lawsuit against Facebook in Brazil. If we?ve learned anything about Trump and these tech bro-ligarchs, it?s that they have thin skin ? and are quick to lash out if their feelings are hurt.

            So we have to move countries. And fast.

            This isn?t easy. Shifting all our tech will be costly and require more staff to accomplish. But if a few thousand of us can contribute now, we can make Ek? Trump-proof. Will you help?

            I'll donate $9
            I'll donate another amount


            With the way the tech industry is going (donating millions to Trump, allowing toxic disinformation to run wild), this isn?t just the safe thing to do, it?s the right thing to do. Anyone who can should stop giving money to these oligarchs. It would also give us extra insurance for campaigning against both Trump and these tech giants, who could otherwise shut down our org with the flip of a switch.

            But these tech giants are worth billions for a reason ? they dominate the industry. The alternatives are lesser known, and expensive. We might even have to create new legal entities abroad to be able to use them. And we?d also have to self-host some of our tech to make up for some missing features and ensure our org and our members are 100% safe. 

            Beyond that, we?re already seeing a push for Republicans to shut down non-profits that disagree with them. HR 9495, the ?non-profit killer?, could let the government use political motivation to strip us of non-profit status. 

            That?s why we have to Trump-proof our movement, right now. Make our tech independent and beef up our legal defence. But it will be costly ? and we need to cover our campaigning, too. Can you chip in to help us defend our corporate campaigning mission in the new Trump era?
