BELÉM, BRAZIL - Members of several delegations from around the world gathered in Belém for the United Nations Climate Conference, which concluded on Friday (21). Some shared their views on the ongoing negotiations.

Luca Lombroso - Italian Observer
“Yes, I think so, there are some changes, in particular, it's my opinion of course, the absence of the United States is not good for the climate, the retirement of the United States, but it's good for the negotiation, because they can't do opposition or obstruction. I see that Latin American countries linked with China make a strong pressure to have a different approach on accordingly talking during the COP. “

Ângela Asuncion - coordinator, Ásia Pacífic transitoon mineral accountability working group resource justice network (Filipinas)
“I think that the debates in COP 30 are a historical moment, and that Belém must make history as the first COP to address the material dimensions of the Paris Agreement, specifically to ensure that the Just Transition Working Program includes transition minerals and human rights and indigenous rights within negotiation text and outcomes.”

Yousef Alfakhiri - member of Libyan Parliament and member of Pan-African Parliament
“We expected that from the COP as we say that everything has to be bought in the right way, so to say to the world that the climate change, it's a very important issue and we have united together to find a proper solution to protect our world.”
