While Climate Action Network appreciates the Presidency’s effort to gather the wide range of Party inputs into one document, the Summary Note offers us a broad shopping list rather than a clear path forward – and it does not yet reflect the political reality inside the negotiation rooms.

Civil society arrived in Belém with a cautious sense of hope after three consecutive COPs marked by deep disappointment. In those years, the world watched as the wealthy countries most responsible for the climate crisis repeatedly failed to deliver the ambition needed to end it – falling short on emissions cuts, on climate finance, and on ensuring just transitions at home. The bitter taste of unmet commitments travelled with us, and little in the first week of COP30 has helped to shift it.

Social and environmental movements from around the world today mobilized thousands of people to join marches worldwide, demanding an end to the system that has fueled climate destruction in the Amazon to the rest of the world. The protesters condemned global economic inequality, environmental racism, and corporate impunity that have delayed action and denied justice to people in climate-vulnerable countries.

On the opening day of COP30, the Fund for responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD) took a critical step forward by launching its first Call for Funding Requests under the Barbados Implementation Modalities (BIM), the Fund’s start-up phase, and so called as it was approved at the Fund’s fifth Board meeting in Barbados. This call represents a significant milestone in the Fund’s journey, as it marks the Fund’s transition from establishment to operationalization.

Climate Action Network rejects the Belém 4X Pledge on Sustainable Fuels, which is co-sponsored by Brazil, Italy and Japan and supported by India. The pledge calls on countries to expand dubious “sustainable” fuels use globally by at least four times 2024 levels by 2035. The fuels promoted in the pledge include hydrogen and its derivatives, bioenergy such as biogases and biofuels, and synthetic fuels. This initiative is part of a growing trend of bio-based and hydrogen fuels being purported as energy and climate solutions.

More than 1,000 organisations from 106 countries – spanning trade unions, Indigenous leaders, feminist and youth movements, Afro‑descendant and peasant groups, environmental advocates, disability networks and community organisations – have united to urge governments to stop treating climate action as a numbers game. Their open letter calls for a Just Transition that makes climate work for the people who live its consequences.

Belém, Brazil – November 10 2025 – As COP30 opens, civil society warns that the world is at a crossroads: either deliver justice and equity, or watch the credibility of the UN climate process collapse.Climate Action Network (CAN), representing over 2,000 organisations in more than 130 countries, is calling for a course correction rooted in fairness, rights, and real finance. The network’s Justice Package sets out what must happen in Brazil for COP30 to succeed – beginning with the creation of a Belém Action Mechanism (BAM) for a Global Just Transition.
