The 2025 UN Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC COP30) was held in Belém, Brazil on 10–21 November 2025. It brought together policymakers, scientists, non-governmental organizations and civil society members from more than 190 countries to discuss actions to tackle climate change with a focus on turning the outcomes of the first Global Stocktake (concluded at COP28) into concrete national actions.
COP30 concluded with the adoption of the Belém Package, which triples climate adaptation finance by 2035, and launched the Just Transition Mechanism to support an equitable shift to a green economy.
