Two months before the start of COP31, the executive director of the thirtieth edition of the conference, Ana Toni, stated that Brazil intends to present three documents at this year's meeting. Among the promises is the delivery of the global roadmap for moving away from fossil fuels. The so-called "roadmap" was among the main bets of the federal government for the event held in Belém (PA) at the end of 2025.
The roadmap away from fossil fuels was one of the main expectations of Brazil for COP30. However, despite the efforts of Brazilian negotiators and the support of about 80 countries, the proposal was not included in the final document of the event held in the capital of Pará state.
The biggest focus of resistance to the proposal came from the so-called "petrostates," countries whose economies depend heavily on oil production. Among the main adversaries were Saudi Arabia, India and Russia, which opposed the inclusion of the commitment in the final document of the conference.
According to Ana Toni, in addition to the roadmap on fossil fuels, a plan will also be presented that brings together actions to end deforestation, demonstrating Brazil's priorities for international climate negotiations.
