Brazil's COP30 Presidency Releases Deforestation and Fossil-Fuel Transition Roadmaps

· Climate · Brazil

Brazil's presidency of the COP30 climate talks released two long-awaited global roadmaps on 3 November, according to Carbon Brief. One sets out a plan to end deforestation; the other addresses transitioning away from fossil fuels, which Brazil describes as "urgent, inevitable and, yet, possible." Carbon Brief published Q&As explaining the contents of each. The documents are framed as first-of-their-kind global roadmaps produced under the Brazilian presidency ahead of the summit. They set out directions rather than binding commitments, and the details now become reference points for governments and investors tracking national climate pledges.

Why it matters：These roadmaps set the reference framework for how countries and companies will be measured on deforestation and fossil-fuel phase-out, shaping expectations for policy and capital allocation.

Key points

  • Both roadmaps were released on 3 November under Brazil's COP30 presidency.
  • Brazil describes the fossil-fuel transition as urgent, inevitable and possible.
  • Carbon Brief published separate Q&As on each roadmap.
