COP participants aim to mobilise US$1.3 trillion to combat climate change
The strategic financing plan is designed through 2035
The presidency of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP) intends to mobilise US$1.3 trillion annually to finance the fight against climate change in developing countries, reports Agência Brasil.
The plan was presented in Belem, Brazil, where the 30th UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) will take place from 10 to 21 November.
Mukhtar Babayev, President of COP29 held in Azerbaijan, and COP30 President Andre Correa do Lago emphasised that this goal is achievable, provided that new financial mechanisms are developed.
“It is time to act. The climate commitments for 2030 and 2035 give us a rare opportunity to turn promises into sustainable development, protection of the planet, job creation, community strengthening, and ensuring prosperity,” said Babayev.
The roadmap from Baku to Belem includes five priority areas:
-
subsidies, concessional finance, and affordable capital;
-
rebalancing fiscal space and debt sustainability;
-
transformational redirection of private finance and reduction of capital costs;
-
capacity restructuring and coordination of climate portfolios;
-
restructuring systems and frameworks for equitable capital flows.
“To accelerate the implementation of the Paris Agreement, it is necessary to combine climate action with concrete economic and financial reforms. Through these five areas, we are implementing a plan for global cooperation and achieving effective results,” stated Correa do Lago.
The Paris Agreement is a treaty adopted by the COP parties in December 2015. It aims to combat climate change, including measures to reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

Ashok MondalNID Director"Signing this Memorandum of Understanding between the National Institute of Design (NID) and TV BRICS marks a pivotal milestone in advancing design diplomacy across the BRICS media space. This moment is especially significant as India hosts the 18th BRICS Summit, following India’s assumption of the BRICS chairship under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The partnership directly embodies his call to elevate Indian design standards through 'Design in India, Design for the World'. Through the global reach and broadcast capabilities of TV BRICS, we are excited to showcase the extraordinary visual storytelling, films, and design research of NID’s Film and Video Communication students to an international audience, while also welcoming and screening film works from BRICS network countries at NID Ahmedabad. This reciprocal exchange strengthens our shared commitment to educational, cultural, and artistic collaboration, fostering sustainable connections among global creative communities. NID Ahmedabad looks forward to leveraging this partnership to deepen cross-cultural dialogue, build international expert networks, and unlock transformative opportunities for filmmakers, researchers, and faculty across member nations" -
