O Brazilian government It expects that between 100 and 120 countries We announce before DA COP30in November, its climate goals for Reduce Effects of Effects of Effects Studies by 2035.
In the evaluation of Itamaraty and the Ministry of the Environmentwhat matters is not only the total amount of countries (something more of symbolic effect), but mainly how much they represent in the total of global emissions.
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) assistants expect a coverage of 80% of current emissions to be reached, already discounting the launch of the US gases atmosphere, with reduction goals by 2035.
Less than two months to go to COP30, in Belém, only 34 of the 193 united nations-coastal convention countries on climate change presented their goals.
According to the Action Tracker climate, they represent less than 24% of global emissions.
China and the European Union are the great absences, for now. But a group of important emerging – India, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Russia and Turkey – are also among those who have not yet filed their nationally determined contributions (NDCs), as climate goals are technically known.
On Tuesday (23), Lula and the UN Secretary-General, António Guterres,, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, which aims to appeal to more countries to present their goals.
The list of those who have already delivered their goals to 2035 includes Brazil, the United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, Canada and the United States.
The NDCs of the United States, however, were also delivered to the government of former President Joe Biden. Earlier this year, the Donald Trump administration took Americans out of the Paris Agreement.
For high employees of the Brazilian government, achieving goals that cover 80% of total emissions in the world (discounting the United States) is a “significant” but “optimistic” – ie still difficult goal.
The countries had until February to deliver their NDCs. Brazil was one of the first. At COP29, in Baku (Azerbaijan), announced the goal of decreasing their emissions by 59% to 67% by 2035 (compared to 2005).
Given the widespread delay, however, the deadline was postponed for September. In theory, it wins at the end of this month. However, if there are new delays, there is no punishment and countries may still present the NDCs before COP30.
The EU is one of the main global leaders in combating climate change, but still has internal differences on the goals for 2035.
China, in turn, has signaled that it will have an ambitious goal. However, it has been time to put your cards on the table.
