Brazil sets world's first global roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels
What happened
Brazil set out the world’s first global roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels ahead of a global climate summit. André Corrêa do Lago, Brazil’s president of the Cop30 summit, stated these roadmaps are documents of implementation. The plan aims to help countries boost their economies and reduce poverty while moving away from coal, oil, and gas.

Why it matters
The roadmap suggests that countries can begin breaking dependence on fossil fuels without waiting for new technologies or economic changes. However, a professor of climate science and policy noted the roadmaps are limited because they do not include a timeline or key benchmarks for change.
