From Belém to Ulaanbaatar
The Paris Agreement and land degradation neutrality,10 years of shared challenges, 10 years of actions to be scaled up
The 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30), scheduled to take place in Belém, Brazil, from November 10 to 21, 2025, will mark the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement – the first global and legally binding pact to limit global warming to “well below + 2°C and to pursue efforts to limit it to + 1.5°C.” This agreement introduced an innovative framework: each country must submit nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and review them every 5 years. Without this international cooperation, scientific data indicates catastrophic warming of +4°C by 2100, leading to devastating impacts on ecosystems, economies, and societies.
