At COP30 in Belém, world leaders reached a fragile compromise: a pledge to triple global climate-adaptation funding by 2035, but no concrete roadmap to phase out fossil fuels. Greens/EFA President Bas Eickhout warns that the deal falls far short of the ambition needed to keep 1.5°C alive. Despite EU efforts, major oil-dependent nations bl…
