Preparations for COP30, the UN Climate Change Conference scheduled for November 2025 in Belem, Brazil, intensified in October 2025 with the theme 'COP of Action' emphasising implementation over new commitments. The New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) agreed at COP29 targets $300 billion annually by 2035 for developing countries' climate finance.

A broader framework proposes mobilising $1.3 trillion in climate finance by 2035 from all sources. India, as a leading voice of the Global South, is pushing for equitable climate finance access and technology transfer. India's renewable energy capacity has crossed 200 GW, with Rajasthan leading in solar energy generation. The Belem COP will be the first hosted in the Amazon region, bringing attention to tropical forest conservation.
