COP30 – What we're taking away from the JAE: clarity on the agreement, energy for action

COP30 in Belém has just come to an end.

The conclusion is clear:

• the world was expecting a turning point,

• the agreement does not yet respond to the urgency of the situation,

• but multilateralism is holding firm, and that is essential.

In concrete terms:

• Countries have approved increased funding for adaptation, which is essential for countries and territories already on the front line of heatwaves, floods and coastal erosion.

• However, the COP failed to set out a clear path away from fossil fuels, which are at the heart of the problem.

• And many countries have not presented their new climate plans, which have been awaited for a year.

And yet, despite everything...

Belém has shown something essential: a global movement that refuses to give up.

We saw:

✨ young people speaking out and proposing solutions;

✨ indigenous peoples reminding us that protecting nature means protecting life;

✨ NGOs and networks standing firm on climate justice;

✨ coalitions of states, cities and territories already taking very concrete action.

At Young Ambassadors for the Environment, it is precisely this energy that guides us: that of a generation that is not content to simply comment, but wants to act, educate, protect, innovate and make a difference in their territories, in France, overseas and internationally.

The COP is a moment in time.

Real change is what we build between two COPs: local projects, workshops, advocacy, solidarity actions, partnerships, international exchanges.

👉 If you want to be part of this dynamic,

👉 if you want to get involved alongside other motivated young people,

👉 if you want to take action rather than wait...

The future needs those who believe in it – and who don't wait for the next round of negotiations to move forward.
