The Guardian view on Cop30: someone has to pay for the end of the oil and gas age | Editorial

As the Cop30 climate talks unfold in Belém, the urgency for a just transition from fossil fuels is palpable. The Guardian's editorial highlights the slow pace of this transition, echoing the sentiments of protesters who disrupted the summit, demanding immediate action. The International Energy Agency's report reinforces the need for swift measures, indicating that the world will reach peak fossil fuel production this decade. The discussions on climate finance and carbon tariffs are critical, as they will determine how effectively nations can align their commitments with the Paris Agreement, ensuring a sustainable future.
