BRAZIL called on the international community today to explore new global governance mechanisms to help countries meet their climate goals under the Paris Agreement.
In a letter, the Brazilian Cop30 presidency of the forthcoming Cop30 climate conference highlighted the gap between climate pledges and real-world implementation, with current action pointing to a temperature rise of around 2.6°C — far above the Paris target of staying “well below” 2°C.
“The international community should investigate how climate co-operation could become better equipped to accelerate implementation,” the letter said.
