The UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) will take place in Belém, Brazil, from November 10-21. UNEP is releasing a new COP30 Factsheet Series exploring the most critical adaptation and mitigation themes shaping today’s global climate agenda. The series equips readers with clear, accessible insights into the debates, decisions, and expected outcomes across priority themes.   Designed to help negotiators, policymakers, journalists, and observers navigate the road to Belém, each factsheet takes stock of where we stand today and—crucially—previews what to expect at the conference. What issues are rising up the agenda? Where is progress being made? What major outcomes could emerge from the negotiations? Topics covered in the series include finance, the Baku–Belém Roadmap, mitigation work programme, adaptation loss and damage, technology negotiations, and key sectors such as cooling, buildings, forests, transport, and more.
