As the consensus on climate action frays, the world needs to stop waiting for negotiations and start implementing what has already been agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is according to the Brazilian diplomat Andr\u00e9 Corr\u00eaa do Lago. The president of COP30 in Brazil last year, he remains the incumbent for the UN\u2019s flagship climate change summit until COP31 this November, when T\u00fcrkiye will take over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corr\u00eaa do Lago told Dialogue Earth that climate diplomacy now needs to place greater emphasis on action and cooperation among groups of countries, businesses and cities: \u201cFor decisions you need consensus, for implementation you don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corr\u00eaa do Lago also highlighted the \u201cimportant challenge\u201d posed by the withdrawal of the US from several climate agreements earlier this year, and warned of a growing backlash against the costs of climate action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At COP30, held in Brazil\u2019s Amazonian city of Bel\u00e9m, countries agreed to a target of tripling finance for adaptation to climate change. Meanwhile, a \u201cjust transition\u201d mechanism was created, aimed at ensuring workers and communities are not left behind in the shift from fossil fuels. But the summit ultimately failed to reach a consensus on fossil fuels, or on deforestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International climate negotiations have long relied on consensus among nearly 200 countries. It has imbued any resulting agreements with strong legitimacy but also made progress slow and politically complex. Corr\u00eaa do Lago said the real breakthrough at COP30 was not just a greater focus on implementation, but a clearer separation between implementation and negotiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[Consensus] is a wonderful thing because it gives enormous strength to what is approved,\u201d he said. \u201cBut it is also a way of not allowing some things to progress.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond consensus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Corr\u00eaa do Lago points out that countries can act according to their own circumstances and in line with what they have already agreed; smaller coalitions of nations with similar interests can move forward together on issues like the energy transition or deforestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are many ways of doing the right thing,\u201d Corr\u00eaa do Lago said. \u201cAnd according to each country, it may be completely different.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That stronger focus on implementation is essential, he argued, because time is running out. \u201cWe believe very strongly in science,\u201d Corr\u00eaa do Lago said. \u201cAnd science is telling us that we have very little time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A greater emphasis on implementation could also help sustain momentum when political divisions disrupt international cooperation. In January, the US president Donald Trump announced his administration was pulling the world\u2019s largest economy out of 66 international bodies, including several focused on climate, biodiversity and energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corr\u00eaa do Lago said the role of the US as both a major emitter and a source of important technological, business and civil-society solutions made this \u201cobviously an important challenge\u201d. But he stressed that climate action in the US extends far beyond its federal government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many ways of doing the right thing, and according to each country, it may be completely different<\/blockquote><\/cite><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne thing is what the government says, and the other thing is what the communities or the business or the scientific community do,\u201d he said. Negotiations may be the preserve of the government, he added, but \u201cin the action agenda\u201d everybody can participate \u2013 be it businesses, universities, scientists, or the authorities of an entire state, like California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working to implement agreed climate measures could help fill the gap created by these divisions. Several agreements from past climate COPs have not been fully carried out. Targets for climate adaptation finance, for example, have repeatedly been missed, including a pledge made at COP26 in 2021 to double funding by 2025<\/a>. Meanwhile, new oil and gas licences continue<\/a> to be approved, despite the COP28 agreement to transition away from fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A renewed focus on implementation could also help counter a growing assault on the \u201ceconomic logic\u201d of climate action, he said. While efforts to discredit climate science are not new<\/a>, Corr\u00eaa do Lago argued that this energy has increasingly shifted towards attacking the financial case for solving the crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat is, I think, maybe even more dangerous,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate action has been pushed down the political agenda in several countries, as governments grapple with overlapping economic, security and cost-of-living crises. In Corr\u00eaa do Lago\u2019s native Brazil, the current government presents itself as a climate leader. Yet even here, development priorities include fossil fuel expansion, and continue to compete with emissions-reduction goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There has also been growing pushback<\/a> against the concept of net zero in Global North countries such as the United Kingdom, while right wing think-tanks have continued attempts at what critics describe as \u201cclimate obstruction<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFirst it was a questioning of science, and then a questioning of the solution,\u201d Corr\u00eaa do Lago said. \u201cI believe that a focus on implementation is what gives us examples that show that the economic solutions do work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roadmaps and contradictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Corr\u00eaa do Lago described the differentiation between negotiation and implementation as one of the \u201cstrongest achievements\u201d of COP30. He is now promoting two roadmaps: one on reducing deforestation and another on transitioning away from fossil fuels. They are parallel initiatives that build on existing commitments and are open to input from governments and other stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe decided to do independent roadmaps, so that we advance on it. The idea of the roadmaps is to bring together elements that will help countries to maybe, at some moment, find consensus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sits alongside the COP29 mandate to develop a roadmap to mobilise USD 1.3 trillion in climate finance per year by 2035, which Corr\u00eaa do Lago is also working to advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To promote the roadmaps, in February Corr\u00eaa do Lago visited T\u00fcrkiye, where COP31 will take place<\/a> in the coastal city of Antalya. Following a long dispute over the presidency, Australia will lead COP31\u2019s pre-talks with Pacific nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brazil is also developing a national roadmap to translate the country\u2019s climate leadership into a \u201cjust and planned\u201d transition \u2013 as promised<\/a> by president Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva in December, shortly after COP30. The plan was expected<\/a> in early February, but no implementation framework has yet been released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Climate Observatory (OC<\/a>), a coalition of Brazilian civil society organisations, has criticised both the government\u2019s roadmap and the COP30 initiatives. In a letter<\/a> addressed to Corr\u00eaa do Lago, it cautioned that the international roadmaps risk becoming \u201canother document destined to gather dust\u201d. In separate recommendations<\/a> on the domestic plan, it warned that current policies remain \u201ccontradictory\u201d to decarbonisation, and rejected the logic that expanding oil production could finance the energy transition \u2013 an approach advanced by Lula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corr\u00eaa do Lago said such contradictions are not unique to Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo country has a unified vision of how to progress in this agenda,\u201d he said, noting governments are often divided across ministries with competing priorities. He added that reliance on fossil fuel revenues reflects limited alternatives: \u201cWe may need that because we have not found other ways to get financing for the transition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The COP30 agenda also faces a potential rival \u2013 or ally \u2013 in Colombia. In April, the city of Santa Marta on the country\u2019s Caribbean coast will host<\/a> the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels. This initiative has been spearheaded by Colombia and the Netherlands. It remains to be seen what the conference will achieve, and how any potential agreement there could interact with COP30\u2019s own roadmap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corr\u00eaa do Lago noted that the event\u2019s originally proposed language of \u201cphasing out\u201d fossil fuels has been dropped in favour of \u201ctransitioning away\u201d \u2013 a form of wordplay that has shaped COP negotiations, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not us against them,\u201d he added. \u201cIt will be very interesting to see what happens with Santa Marta. They are parallel processes. They are complementary, but they are parallel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead, Corr\u00eaa do Lago said he is optimistic this stronger focus on implementation and action will endure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have talked a lot with T\u00fcrkiye and Australia, and one of the things that they have already incorporated \u2013 and that I think is very important \u2013 is this new structure of the action agenda, based on implementation,\u201d he said. \u201cThe fact is that, if we have little time, we should explore all those solutions as much as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
