global mutirão what the cop30 text says

Welcome to Carbon Brief’s DeBriefed. An essential guide to the week’s key developments relating to climate change. ‘MUTIRÃO’ 2.0: After many late nights, but little progress – and a dramatic fire at the COP30 venue – the much-awaited second draft of the summit’s key agreement, called the “mutirão” text, finally dropped... The new mutirão text “calls for efforts to triple adaptation finance” by 2030 and would launch a presidency-led “Belém mission to 1.5C” alongside a voluntary “implementation accelerator”, as well as a series of “dialogues”... It “decides to establish” a two-year work programme on climate finance, including on a key section of the Paris Agreement called Article 9.1, but has a footnote saying this will not “prejudge” how the...

ROADMAPS TO NOWHERE: The latest draft does not refer to the idea of a “fossil-fuel roadmap”, which is not on the COP30 agenda, but has been pushed by Brazil’s president Luiz Inácio Lula da... A letter to the presidency, seen by Carbon Brief and reportedly backed by at least 29 countries, including Colombia, Germany, Palau, Mexico and the UK, says: “We cannot support an outcome that does not... The letter asks for a revised text. PLENARY WHEN: The latest draft of the mutirão text is unlikely to be the last. There is also a set of draft decisions that have not been fully resolved. For instance, this morning, the Brazilian COP presidency floated a draft decision on what it is calling the “Belém gender action plan”, with three brackets versus the 496 brackets in the previous version.

At a short, informal stocktaking plenary, COP30 president André Corrêa do Lago invited countries to react to the drafts in a “mutirão” meeting, namely, in the “spirit of cooperation”. But expect all timings to be flexible, as they work to iron out differences in closed-door meetings. The Brazilian presidency of COP30 invites the world to join forces in a major global effort for climate action. This is not just a call: it is a firm and inspiring call to join forces in a coordinated, diverse, and transformative mobilization. Governments, social movements, youth, indigenous peoples, traditional communities, the private sector, academia, and civil society all play an essential role in this collective movement that transcends borders and connects territories. “Mutirão” is a continuous method of mobilization that begins before, extends through, and continues beyond COP30.

A proposal to transform the conference into a true milestone of civilizational turn: the establishment of spaces for active listening, strengthening the ties between the local and the global, and valuing the diversity of... The COP30 presidency proposes, via joint efforts, a new form of climate governance: more participatory, fairer, and more supportive. Because when we unite around a common purpose, we create something greater. A whole more potent than the sum of all parts. A “mutirão” does not have to take place only in person. It can also manifest as an awareness campaign on social media.

When diverse people mobilize online for a common cause, sharing information, stories, images, or educational messages, this collective effort has great potential for reach and impact. This virtual union can be used to inform the population, raise awareness of important issues and campaign for social, political or environmental change. Thus, the “mutirão” in networks becomes a powerful tool for transformation and engagement. If the “mutirão” is a webinar or similar format, organize a simple roadmap with schedules, tasks, and goals. Make it clear who will facilitate it, how long it will last, and what each needs to do. Send out invitations in good time, including easy-to-follow links, materials, and guidelines.

If possible, begin with a brief welcome address to set expectations and encourage participation. Follow TNM's WhatsApp channel for news updates and story links. The United Nation’s COP30 closed in Belém on November 22, Saturday with a fragile compromise that left the summit visibly divided. After two weeks of tense negotiations, COP President Andrei Lago ended the conference with a personal pledge to draw up two “road maps”: one to halt and reverse deforestation, and another to guide countries... The consensus agreement at COP30 was titled “The Global Mutirão: Uniting humanity in a global mobilisation against climate change”. Lago said the Mutirão Decision captures the spirit of the COP.

Mutirão, a Portuguese-Brazilian word meaning “coming together,” was the theme of COP30. The Global Mutirão agreement is meant to push countries to act faster by stressing teamwork and shared responsibility. It brings together the main areas of climate work, mitigation, adaptation, finance, and cooperation, and tries to solve some long-standing problems in climate talks. On a tense day 9 at the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), pressure mounted on negotiators as the Brazilian Presidency pushed to gavel... The message from the climate community was clear: the world is watching, and backtracking is not an option. “The world is watching Belém for a clear sign that governments are rising to the urgency of the climate crisis and are determined to do better, together,” said Laurence Tubiana, the chief executive of...

“Citizens will not thank those who choose instead to reopen what has already been settled.” Tubiana stressed that agreements reached at COP28 in Dubai and COP29 in Baku “are essential building blocks for delivering the Paris Agreement”, cautioning that “weakening them now would slow the transition and erode the... At the heart of the debate is whether COP30 will uphold the UAE Consensus, which, for the first time, saw countries agree to “transition away from fossil fuels”, and whether the Mutirão decision can... “In Dubai, countries finally agreed to transition away from fossil fuels — ending a decade of ambiguity,” the European Union envoy said. “Alongside the goals to triple renewable capacity and double energy-efficiency improvements, this provides the direction needed to transform global energy systems.” Find out more about Lexology or get in touch by visiting our About page.

The 30th session of the United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP30) concluded in Belém, Brazil, in the evening of 23 November 2025, after two weeks of intense international climate negotiations. COP30 ended with a suite of decisions that saw some key areas which had been politically stalled in previous years, move forward with agreed work programmes. However, consensus on flagship issues relating to ambition, finance and transitioning away from fossil fuels remained out of reach. COP30 President André Corrêa do Lago stated that COP30 must be remembered as the ‘COP of implementation and adaptation’ and ‘COP of truth’. As part of these efforts, COP30 was framed by the Brazilian Presidency as a global ‘mutirão’ – a Portuguese word with Indigenous roots – meaning ‘collective effort’. That spirit was evident around the venue on a range of topics, despite the fact that negotiations on substantive issues were highly contested.

The Presidency identified Brazil’s key priorities for COP30 to: Shift pledges to implementation, with a strong emphasis implementing the outcomes of the first Global Stocktake (GST) from 2023 and just transition work programme in a way that promote transparency, justice, and practical solutions.
