Brazil wants Cop 28 global stocktake to steer Cop 30 delivery

Cop 28

Brazil seeks to use the Cop 28 global stocktake as a concrete roadmap for Cop 30. The Cop 28 global stocktake called for tripling renewables and transitioning away from fossil fuels. Brazil aims to convert those signals into near-term actions by governments, investors, and industry.

Brazil’s Cop 30 plan: action agenda from GST

Talks in Baku stalled on implementation mechanics. Therefore, Brazil will drive delivery outside formal agendas. Officials will anchor Cop 30’s “Action Agenda” in the Cop 28 global stocktake conclusions. Stakeholders will organize into 30 groups across six thematic axes. The axes cover energy, industry, transport, forests, oceans, biodiversity, agriculture, cities, infrastructure, water, and human development. A cross-cutting axis targets finance, technology, and capacity building. Brazil will curate three to four practical solutions per objective. Stakeholders should start presenting acceleration plans in October.

What the GST means for energy and finance

The GST priorities include tripling renewable capacity and doubling energy efficiency. It also urges universal energy access and a just fossil transition. Brazil highlights grids, minerals and metals, and efficient cooling as early focus areas. Meanwhile, $1.3 trillion per year in climate finance remains off the formal agenda. As a result, Brazil will court private capital and public banks through the Action Agenda. The oil and gas track will reference OGDC, OGMP 2.0, and the Powering Past Coal Alliance. Civil society proposals include the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative. Delivery will depend on transparent NDC upgrades due by September. However, parties still disagree on how to respond to weak NDC ambition.

The Metalnomist Commentary

Brazil is reframing Cop 30 as an implementation summit. The approach leans on sectoral coalitions, grids, and materials supply chains. Watch how minerals and metals policy translates into bankable projects and measurable emissions cuts.
