ELYX was present in Belém thanks to our Brazilian friend and partner Ágatha Tommasi, to follow COP30 and observe the major emerging trends in global climate diplomacy.
1. Climate finance is scaling up
Negotiations around the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) aim to mobilize at least USD 300 billion per year for climate action in developing countries, with a long-term target of USD 1.3 trillion annually by 2035. A structural shift is underway—from traditional public financing to hybrid, innovative, and private mechanisms.
2. Carbon markets: Article 6 in the spotlight
Discussions on Article 6.2 (bilateral cooperation) and Article 6.4 (UN-supervised mechanism) are moving toward building effective compliance carbon markets. A necessary alignment—one we welcome—especially with the high-integrity carbon credits developed by ARCHIPEL.
3. Adaptation and climate justice at the center of negotiations
The UN is calling for a just, rapid, and definitive energy transition, supported by concrete indicators under the Global Goal on Adaptation. For culture × climate initiatives, this represents a unique opportunity to reshape the narrative around the transition through local stories, community voices, and positive imaginaries.
4. Belém and the Amazon: a powerful symbol
Holding COP30 in the heart of the Amazon is a reminder that the transition is not abstract—it is territorial, cultural, and profoundly human, involving biodiversity and Indigenous peoples.
In short: Belém confirms that 2025–2035 will be the decade of new coalitions, creative financing, and cultural platforms capable of accelerating the transition. ELYX was there to witness it—and to connect.
