Climate Deal Excludes Fossil Fuel Phaseout as Wealthy Nations Place Burden "On the Backs of the Poor"

Global negotiations at the annual U.N. climate summit ended Saturday in Belém, Brazil, with a watered-down agreement that does not even mention fossil fuels, let alone offer a roadmap to phase out what are the primary contributors to the climate crisis. The COP30 agreement also makes no new commitments to halt deforestation and does not address global meat consumption, another major driver of global warming. “I’m angry at a really weak outcome. I’m angry at the fossil fuel lobbyists roaming the venue freely, while the Indigenous activists [were] met with militarized repression,” says Brandon Wu, director of policy and campaigns at ActionAid USA. “I have a special level of incandescent outrage at … the rich, developed countries of the Global North who come in to these conferences, and they act like they’re the heroes, when, in fact, what they’re doing is shifting the burden of a crisis that they caused onto the backs of the poor.” “The absence of the United States is critical,” adds Jonathan Watts, global environment writer at The Guardian. “The United States under Donald Trump is trying to go backwards to the 20th century in a fossil fuel era, whereas a huge part of the rest of the world wants to move forward into something else.”
