Reporter: The COP30 Presidency, scheduled to take place in November in Belém, Brasil, has issued its fourth official letter to the international community, calling for “mutirão global” (global collective effort) to accelerate action against climate change. In the document, Brasil reaffirms its commitment to implementing the outcomes of the Global Stocktake, as agreed at COP28 under the Paris Agreement, and proposes a new dynamic for collective mobilization in response to the climate crisis.

The letter was released during the mid-year climate negotiations in Bonn, Germany. Attendees included COP30 President Ambassador André Corrêa do Lago, COP30 CEO Ana Toni, and High-Level Climate Champions Nigar Arpadarai (COP29) and Dan Ioschpe (COP30).

The Presidency's message remains clear: COP30 aims to unite thousands of subnational governments, investors, NGOs, and communities to transform commitments into tangible outcomes. The goal is to usher in a new era of collective climate action, where global cooperation drives a lasting response to the crisis, as emphasized by COP30 President Ambassador André Corrêa do Lago.

André Corrêa do Lago: We have identified a significant opportunity to accelerate the implementation process. We will take the main elements of the Global Stocktake (Balanço Global/GST), endorsed by 198 countries, and implement its core themes.

Reporter: Brasil's headline proposal seeks to transform the Paris Agreement's Global Balance into a “Globally Determined Contribution.” The COP30 Action Agenda will be structured around six main areas. Within these themes, 30 key objectives will be defined, including tripling renewable energy capacity, halting deforestation, and enhancing global food security.

Dan Ioschpe, the COP30 High-Level Champion for Climate, stated that this new approach to mobilization and implementation strengthens the collective effort to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

Dan Ioschpe: Everything suggests that we are approaching an implementation cycle that will be faster and broader than previous cycles. This would be a pivotal milestone for the event in Brasil, given its relatively lengthy preparatory period.

Reporter:The COP30 Presidency aims to establish an inclusive and transparent structure with effective monitoring mechanisms — capable of transforming real-world solutions into scalable and replicable policies — as stressed by Ana Toni, COP30 CEO.

Ana Toni: Based on these real problems, this is what the government, private sector, subnational entities, and civil society can collectively do. We believe the key is to focus on the overall balance — working from tangible issues and challenges — to accelerate the implementation of these objectives.

Reporter: COP29 High-Level Climate Champion Nigar Arpadarai of Azerbaijan says that simplifying mobilization initiatives improves the efficiency of learning from the past and structuring future actions.

Nigar Arpadarai: At COP29, for example, we launched 14 very successful initiatives. Some ideas were prioritized for continuity, such as those related to water, health, and urbanization. However, the important thing at this stage with COP30 is simplification to efficiently manage the process.

Reporter: The fourth letter outlines commitments such as supporting a just energy transition, doubling the average annual rate of improvement in energy efficiency by 2030, and phasing out fossil fuels in energy systems in an orderly and equitable manner. The letter also mentions coordinating with other multilateral initiatives, such as the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty, launched at the G20
