At the ongoing 30th UN Climate Change Conference (COP30), which opened here on Monday, leaders and experts called for stronger South-South cooperation to advance global climate governance.
"We find ourselves here in Belem, at the mouth of the Amazon," said Simon Stiell, executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), noting that just as the river is nourished and strengthened by over a thousand tributaries, the COP process must be supported in a same way -- powered by the many streams of international cooperation.
"This COP must ignite a decade of acceleration and delivery," said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres at the opening plenary of the World Leaders Climate Action Summit ahead of the conference, adding all parties can "choose to make Belem the turning point."
