UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell has highlighted advances achieved under the COP30 Action Agenda on climate change and stressed the urgency of turning commitments into concrete actions.

In his remarks made yesterday, Stiell, the executive secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, outlined significant achievements made at the 30th UN Climate Change Conference (COP30), which is being held in Brazil’s Amazon city of Belem. COP30 has racked up an impressive scorecard of real-world climate actions that will also mean stronger economies, more jobs and better lives for many millions, he said. Stiell pointed to major clean-energy and grid investments, a global plan to quadruple sustainable fuels, efforts to unlock new green industries and an expanding pipeline of climate-adaptation funding, reports said.
