As global leaders gather in Belém, Brazil, for the landmark United Nations COP30 climate conference, the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) is demanding a decisive shift in global climate action to keep the 1.5°C warming limit within reach. With new data showing that global commitments remain far off-track, AOSIS has formally proposed a new agenda item aimed at addressing what it calls the “ambition and implementation gap” in countries’ climate pledges.
The proposal, titled “Responding to the NDC Synthesis Report and Addressing the 1.5°C Ambition and Implementation Gap,” seeks to establish a dedicated space under the Conference of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement (CMA) to acknowledge the findings of the UNFCCC’s (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) latest global assessment and agree on concrete actions needed before 2030.
AOSIS said this step is essential to ensure COP30 becomes a turning point.
