What does COP30 have to do with Climate Tech Products?

Overview

COP30 — the 30th UN Climate Change Conference — will take place in Belém, Brazil from 10–21 November 2025. This milestone COP marks the shift from planning to implementation of the Paris Agreement. Key outcomes are expected around strengthening national climate targets for 2035, scaling finance for adaptation and loss & damage, accelerating the energy transition, and protecting tropical forests and nature-based solutions.
