Liliam Chagas, director of the Climate Department at the Brazilian Foreign Ministry, emphasized that “the negotiations are off to a good start.”

In an interview with the official COP30 website, the diplomat noted that the preparatory session held in Bonn, the capital of Germany, in June, allowed for preliminary consensus to be reached on key issues, such as adaptation, just transition, climate finance, loss and damage, gender and climate, as well as the implementation of the first Global Stocktake under the Paris Agreement.

Chagas affirmed, “A first stage of these multilateral negotiations was successful.”

The official agenda for this edition includes more than 140 issues, with three considered priorities: climate adaptation, just transition, and the Global Stocktake.

Unlike previous conferences, COP30 does not focus on a single thematic axis.

“The approach will be broader.

If the different issues are managed well, we can move from the regulations to the actual implementation of the commitments,” Chagas explained.

Regarding the Global Adaptation Goal, the ambassador specified that they will seek in Belem to define milestones that allow them to measure the progress of nations.
