Parliament's resolution on COP30 in Belém urges stronger climate action, including updated NDCs, fossil fuel phase-out, and increased climate finance, while addressing adaptation, loss and damage, and the triple planetary crisis.

Key points

  1. Calls on all parties to update and strengthen NDCs every two years if not on track, and for the EU to submit an ambitious NDC for 2035.
  2. Urges all parties to step up efforts to phase down unabated coal power and phase out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies, and to develop a fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty.
  3. Calls for the EU and member states to scale up climate finance to meet the NCQG, with a broader contributor base and grant-based, non-debt-inducing instruments.
  4. Urges progress on operationalising the global goal on adaptation, including indicators and tracking systems, and calls for national adaptation plans by 2030.
  5. Calls for transparent and predictable loss and damage finance, with grants prioritized and separate from adaptation and ODA.
  6. Urges the Council to agree on an NDC for 2035 at the upper end of the indicated range, and calls for a science-based 2040 climate target.
  7. Calls for the phase-out of fossil fuel subsidies in the EU, with a roadmap from the Commission, and regrets lack of progress since 2022.
  8. Stresses the need to protect and restore ecosystems, including forests and wetlands, and to implement the Kunming-Montreal GBF and the High Seas Treaty.
  9. Calls for the protection of indigenous peoples' rights, including free, prior and informed consent, and direct access to climate finance.
  10. Urges action to reduce methane emissions, including through the Global Methane Pledge and a methane reduction buyers' club.
  11. Calls for measures to discourage private jet use and to include emissions from superyachts and private jets in EU climate policies.
  12. Calls for an EU-wide moratorium on solar radiation modification and a global governance framework based on non-deployment.

Who is affected

  • EU member states: must submit ambitious NDCs, phase out fossil fuel subsidies, and integrate gender equality into climate policies.
  • Developing countries: to receive scaled-up climate finance, with priority for grants and support for adaptation and loss and damage.
  • Indigenous peoples: rights to be protected, with direct access to climate funds and participation in COP processes.
  • Fossil fuel lobbyists: accreditation to be restricted, with disclosure requirements and a ban on EU member states accrediting them.
  • EU industry and SMEs: to receive support for decarbonisation, with access to finance and simplified procedures.

Figures and deadlines

  • 43% reduction in global GHG emissions by 2030 relative to 2019 levels, as per the first global stocktake.
  • USD 300 billion annually by 2035 for developing countries, and USD 1.3 trillion per year by 2035 from all sources.
