COP30 at Belém: the Global Mutirão decision
COP30 closed with the 'Global Mutirão' decision, which called for tripling adaptation finance by 2035, adopted indicators for the Global Goal on Adaptation and launched a just-transition mechanism.
What changed
The 30th UN climate conference met in Belém, Brazil, in November 2025. Its central political outcome, the Global Mutirão decision, gives guidance on implementing the first Global Stocktake. It:
- calls for tripling adaptation finance by 2035 (no baseline year was fixed)
- launches the Global Implementation Accelerator and the Belém Mission to 1.5
- starts a work programme on climate finance and a dialogue on climate and trade
- recognises the Baku to Belém Roadmap to US$1.3 trillion
Parties also adopted the Belém Adaptation Indicators under the Global Goal on Adaptation and agreed a just-transition mechanism.
