Editorial: Le Monde

• The COP30 in Belem ends with an unsatisfactory balance, falling short of expectations and the climate urgency.
• A multipolar world with rising geopolitical and commercial tensions has stalled efforts to speed up the implementation of the commitments of the Paris Agreement.
• On a positive note, the 194 nations reaffirmed their commitment to multilateralism and the Paris Agreement.
• Emerging major countries, led by India and Saudi Arabia, have managed to protect fossil fuel sources.
• The European Union, isolated in its efforts to phase out the use of coal, oil and gas.
• The EU denied new financial requests from the South from the beginning of the negotiations, causing discomfort.
• The EU, instead of defending, should build new alliances to regain climate leadership.
• COPs serve to keep the climate at the center of the agenda but also to defend national priorities and development model.

Conclusion: Belem is a missed opportunity, the fight against climate change must be constant and proactive, every day counts.
