What is COP30 and why does it matter?
COP30, the 30th UN climate meeting taking place in Brazil, is a crucial gathering where world leaders aim to address climate change issues. With a focus on limiting global temperature rises and transitioning away from fossil fuels, the conference is key in achieving the goals set in the Paris agreement. However, challenges exist, including the absence of some key leaders like President Trump. Despite global efforts and commitments, more action is needed to meet the 1.5C target and combat the impacts of climate change effectively.
