COP30 approves Belém Package
195 Parties approve the Belém Package, proving that multilateralism can accelerate climate action that benefits people
One hundred and ninety-five Parties adopted the Belém Package this afternoon, demonstrating humanity’s resolve to turn urgency into unity, and unity into action in tackling climate change. The 29 decisions approved by consensus include agreements on topics such as just transition, adaptation finance, trade, gender, and technology, renewing the collective commitment to accelerated action, and a climate regime more connected to people’s lives.
“As we leave Belém, this moment must not be remembered as the end of a conference, but as the beginning of a decade of turning the game”, said COP30 President, André Corrêa do Lago. “The spirit we built here does not end with the gavel; it continues in every government meeting, every boardroom and trade union, every classroom, laboratory, forest community, large city, and coastal town.”
The approved decisions in the Belém Package include a commitment to triple adaptation finance by 2035, emphasizing the need for developed countries to significantly boost climate finance for developing nations. Parties concluded the Baku Adaptation Roadmap, which approves and establishes the work for 2026-2028, until the next Global Stocktake of the Paris Agreement.
The climate conference also finalizing a comprehensive set of 59 voluntary, non-prescriptive indicators to track progress under the Global Goal on Adaptation.These indicators span all sectors, including water, food, health, ecosystems, infrastructure, and livelihoods, and integrate cross-cutting issues such as finance, technology, and capacity-building.
Parties approved a just transition mechanism that puts people and equity at the center of the fight against climate change. The initiative aims to enhance international cooperation, technical assistance, capacity-building, and knowledge-sharing, and enable equitable, inclusive just transitions.
Among other texts, countries adopted a Gender Action Plan that enhances support for national gender and climate change focal point. The initiative advances gender-responsive budgeting and finance, and promotes the leadership of Indigenous, Afro-descendant, and rural women, among other topics.
Another adopted document, the Mutirão Decision, reaffirms our determination to enhance our collective ambition over time to move from negotiations to implementation now that the Paris Agreement and its cycles are fully in motion. The following implementation mechanisms will help to accelerate this process:
The Global Implementation Accelerator: A collaborative and voluntary initiative launched under the leadership of the COP30 and COP31 Presidencies to support countries in implementing their NDCs and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs).
The Belém Mission to 1.5: An action-oriented platform under the COP29-COP31 troika to foster enhanced ambition and international cooperation across mitigation, adaptation, and investment.
“The Mutirão Decision defines the spirit of our COP: a global mobilization against climate change that celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement and paves the way for more ambition during this critical decade”, says Corrêa do Lago.
Both the Global Implementation Accelerator and the Belém Mission to 1.5 will work complementarily with the vision presented by the Climate High-Level Champions for the next five years of the Action Agenda. The Action Agenda structures the work of more than 480 initiatives that bring together 190 countries and tens of thousands of businesses, investors, subnational governments, and civil society organizations to support the implementation of the GST.
Corrêa do Lago emphasized that the work is just beginning, as Brazil will serve as COP President until November 2026. He reaffirmed Brazil's commitment to advancing climate action by focusing on three key pillars of COP30: strengthening multilateralism and the climate regime, connecting climate initiatives to people's daily lives, and accelerating the implementation of the Paris Agreement.
COP of Implementation
These outcomes consolidate Belém as a COP of Implementation. Over 122 countries submitted new or updated nationally determined contributions (NDCs), a decisive step toward shaping a new climate economy.
Through the COP30 Action Agenda, we turned the Global Stocktake into a compass for multisectoral climate action, bringing together cities, regions, businesses, investors, civil society, and nations. Around 120 Plans to Accelerate Solutions that promote real change were announced, encompassing initiatives focused on our energy systems, forests, oceans, and people’s daily lives.
A series of impactful announcements and initiatives under the Action Agenda demonstrated how implementation is already in motion, including:
The Fostering Investible National Implementation (FINI) initiative was launched to make National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) investible. By bringing together countries, development banks, insurers, and private investors, FINI aims to unlock USD 1 trillion in adaptation project pipelines within three years, with 20% mobilized from the private sector. This marks a structural shift from designing plans to delivering resilience with speed and at scale.
The Interamerican Development Bank (IDB) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF) highlighted several mechanisms that already exist to advance adaptation, and the Gates Foundation pledged $1.4 billion to support smallholder farmers.
The Belém Health Action Plan, endorsed by more than 30 countries and 50 organizations, elevated health as a frontline climate priority. Backed by USD 300 million from the Climate and Health Funders Coalition, it will strengthen climate-resilient health systems, hospitals, surveillance, and disease prevention, especially in the Global South.
Ten countries announced support for the RAIZ Accelerator, a new initiative to restore degraded farmland and mobilize private capital. Building on Brazil’s Green Way and EcoInvest programs, which mobilized nearly USD 6 billion to restore up to 3 million hectares, RAIZ will help countries map priority landscapes and design blended finance solutions to scale restoration and protect forests.
President Corrêa do Lago also announced the creation of the Belém Roadmaps, two Presidency-led initiatives aimed at building momentum and mobilization around concrete strategies and actions to implement the Global Stocktake. The Forest and Climate Roadmap and the Transitioning Away From Fossil Fuels Roadmap. The former aims to gather parties and stakeholders to discuss how to halt and reverse deforestation, while the latter will address the fiscal, economic, and social challenges of the transition, pointing to credible ways to expand zero and low-carbon options, taking into consideration national and regional circumstances.
COP30 Delivered to the Amazon and Beyond
COP30 marked a historic turning point for nature-based climate action. The launch of the Tropical Forests Forever Facility (TFFF) introduced a first-of-its-kind mechanism to deliver long-term, results-based payments to tropical forest countries for verified conservation of standing forests. The facility mobilized over USD 6.7 billion in its first phase, with endorsement from 63 countries, establishing a permanent capital base for forest protection.
Other nature-based announcements under the Action Agenda included expanded support for United for Our Forests, reinforcing regional and Indigenous leadership in ecosystem protection, legal land tenure, and sustainable development. Large-scale agroecology and restoration initiatives were also launched to scale up biodiversity-positive climate solutions.
Also, seventeen countries joined the Blue NDC Challenge, pledging to integrate ocean-climate solutions into national plans. The five Ocean Breakthroughs launched a joint Plan to Accelerate Solutions, aligning marine conservation, ocean renewables, aquatic food, shipping, and tourism with Rio Convention goals. Through the One Ocean Partnership, partners committed to catalyze USD 20 billion by 2030 for regenerative seascapes and generate 20 million blue jobs, embedding ocean equity into climate resilience and prosperity.
Together, these efforts demonstrate that protecting and restoring nature - from forests to coasts and seascapes - is a core pillar of climate ambition and implementation.
Aligning Capital with Climate Goals
COP30 marked a major step forward in reshaping the international financial architecture to align with the urgency and scale of the climate crisis. The Parties took note of the Baku-to-Belém Roadmap to 1.3T, a framework build in collaboration with the COP29 Presidency to scale climate finance flows to at least USD 1.3 trillion annually by 2035, with a strong focus on public-private mobilization and improved access for developing countries, New commitments under the Mutirão Decision called for accelerating reforms in multilateral development banks, enhancing the role of concessional and grant-based finance, and scaling innovative instruments such as guarantees, blended finance, and debt-for-climate swaps. COP30 also launched the Global Climate Finance Accountability Framework to strengthen transparency, credibility, and trust in climate finance delivery, reflecting a broader shift from fragmented pledges to coherent, measurable, and equitable financial support.
To strengthen global coherence, COP30 also reaffirmed the need for an open and supportive international economic system, underscoring that climate measures must not become disguised restrictions on trade. COP launched a new dialogue process on climate and trade under the subsidiary bodies, with participation from the World Trade Organization, UNCTAD, and the International Trade Centre, to examine how trade policy and cooperation can better support just, equitable, and effective climate action.
Real Delivery for Real Lives
COP30 delivered on its ambitions to bring the climate regime closer to people’s lives. The unprecedented participation of over 900 Indigenous Peoples in the Blue Zone, the peaceful power of the Belém Climate March, and the launch of the Global Ethical Stocktake underscored the inseparable link between climate justice, dignity, and intergenerational solidarity.
The Belém Climate March became one of the largest mobilizations in COP history with tens of thousands marching peacefully in a powerful call for climate justice and real implementation. It was welcomed as part of the Global Mutirão, recognizing that civic engagement is a crucial condition for climate progress.
Human development was a cornerstone of the Action Agenda. The thematic axis on “Fostering Human and Social Development” advanced priorities such as climate education, job creation, health resilience, social protection, and gender and racial equity—making clear that climate implementation must uplift lives.
COP30 Commences a New Era of Implementation
Looking ahead, the COP30 Presidency reaffirmed its commitment to carry the momentum of Belém into future milestones, through a continued focus on delivery across all tracks, stronger alignment between negotiation outcomes and real-world implementation, and deepened cooperation anchored in the inclusive spirit of the Global Mutirão. This spirit, defined by collective action, solidarity, and shared responsibility, guided COP30 from start to finish, shaping a climate process more connected to people, progress, and purpose.
The next decisive decade begins now. COP30’s legacy will be one of accelerated implementation that improved lives, where parties recommitted to addressing our shared challenges and where a Global Mutirão turned climate ambition into a movement of global cooperation.
