• Fossil fuels are a leading cause of climate change, accounting for almost 90% of carbon dioxide emissions.
• The annual UN climate conference, COP30, failed to establish a roadmap for the progressive reduction of these fuels.
• To completely halt global warming, net carbon dioxide emissions must reach zero.
• Brazil's President, Inácio Lula da Silva, has played a double-sided role, advocating for climate change action while simultaneously supporting the oil industry.
• The negative influence of Donald Trump, a champion of the oil industry, is significant on a global scale.
• The UN admits it is impossible to prevent the planet's global warming from rising over 1.5 degrees Celsius by the end of the century.
• COP30's conclusions only mention voluntary climate action and a gradual elimination of fossil fuels, without specifying or pushing for an agreement.

Conclusion: The Belém climate conference did not bring significant advancements in the fight against climate change, but the continuity of collective progress, multilateralism, and solidarity stand out. The pressure for progress in eliminating fossil fuels should be greater in future conferences.
