COP30 tensions escalate as latest draft removes all mentions of fossil fuels roadmap
At least 25 countries have vowed to block any agreement that does not include a roadmap to transition away from fossil fuels.
The latest draft of the ‘Mutirão Decision’ – the primary document to come out of this year’s COP – has removed all mentions of a fossil fuels phase-out, despite the presidency’s stated intention to adopt a roadmap.
The roadmap to phase out fossil fuels at a global level is one of the most hotly debated issues at this year’s COP, with 83 countries – including several EU countries, but not the bloc itself – forming an unprecedented coalition to push for the measure.
