COP30 President Ambassador André Corréa do Lago issued a letter calling on the world to take collective and urgent action in a "mutirão" against climate change. The document stresses the need for international cooperation to accelerate implementation and deliver climate solutions, launching a new decade of global action to fight the climate crisis.
To keep the climate target within reach, Brasil invites the international community for a "mutirão" , a Portuguese word derived from the indigenous Tupi-Guarani language that refers to a group coming together to work on a shared task. Only by recognizing the urgency of the situation and acting collectively against catastrophe and denialism can we "have the possibility of rewriting a different future”, emphasizes the document.
The call for action coincides with the confirmation that 2024 was the warmest year on record globally and the frst calendar year that the average global temperature exceeded 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level. Therefore, COP30 should be a turning point in the global fight against climate change, coordinating eforts among governments, businesses, markets, small enterprises, scientists, academics, technological innovators, and others.
