Global Landscapes Forum

Countdown to
COP30

Belém, Brazil
10-21 November 2025

We’ve hit 1.5°C.
Where do we go from here?

Surveys have shown that 80 to 89% of people around the world want their governments to do more to tackle the climate crisis. At the 2025 UN Climate Change Conference (COP30), we have the opportunity to reimagine the future of climate action – and we can’t afford not to.

Last year at COP29, rich countries promised $300 billion a year in climate finance to the Global South by 2035 – just a small fraction of what’s needed. Since then, the U.S. and multiple European countries have also cut billions in development aid. Meanwhile, climate disinformation is running rampant on the internet, even as the cost of climate disasters continues to mount.

We need a radical rethink of our economic and political systems if we are to survive the decades to come. We need to build a united front for global climate justice from the ground up. We don’t need a seat at the table – we need a new table.

We are the majority for action. This is our time to join forces and rewrite our own story.
