Briefing of the COP30 Outcomes

This briefing note distils the main outcomes of COP30 on issues that matter most to Africa: adaptation, finance, just transition, loss and damage, mitigation, and Africa’s special needs and special circumstances. It compares what was decided in Belém with African Non-State Actors’ (NSAs) pre-COP demands and sets out updated positions to guide advocacy in capitals, regional bodies, and future UNFCCC sessions.

It is intended for African negotiators, parliamentarians, government officials, civil society, social movements, media, development partners, and multilateral institutions that shape climate, debt, trade, and development policy. Its premise is that what happened in Belém must now be translated into concrete political choices and financial decisions that advance climate justice and Africa’s right to development.
