What happened
Murat Kurum, the Minister of Environment, Urbanisation and Climate Change of the Republic of Turkey, discussed the climate summit agenda with the United Nations Environment Programme. Brazil is concluding its UN climate presidency with roadmaps aimed at curbing deforestation and accelerating a shift away from fossil fuels. The COP30 President stated that governments must move from negotiations to action, requiring ministers of finance, infrastructure, and transportation to participate.

Why it matters
The push to shift away from fossil fuels and reduce deforestation is considered essential for limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, a goal set by the Paris Agreement. However, oil-producing nations have been reluctant to embrace measures that could undermine key revenue sources. The summit agenda also emphasizes the need for finance to implement these goals.
