The 2025 UN Climate Change Conference (COP 30) concluded on 22 November in Belém, Brazil with the ‘Mutirão text’ – an outcome document that reinforces global commitments for climate action. …FSC Brazil, as the host-country FSC network partner, played a crucial role in engaging Brazilian stakeholders. …Taking place in the heart of the Amazon, COP 30 underscored the importance of forests at the centre of climate and biodiversity solutions. While the final Mutirão text did not include a roadmap to halt and reverse deforestation, the Brazilian presidency committed to create roadmaps both for deforestation and fossil-fuels phase out to support implementation of these priorities. Over 90 countries backed the idea of the deforestation roadmap, including 50 rainforest nations, signalling advanced consensus and paving the way for a possible binding agreement in the future. …The global community shifts it focus from the Amazon to Antalya, Turkey where COP 31 will take place under Australia’s presidency.
