Brazil Proposes Global NDC Initiative to Bolster Climate Action
Brazil's president of COP30, Ambassador Andre Correa do Lago, has proposed an expansion of emissions reduction commitments. The new approach aims to include businesses, states, and cities in global climate efforts. The initiative intends to align actions across all levels of governance and the private sector to achieve climate goals.

Brazil has put forward a proposal to redefine global climate change commitments by urging an expanded role for companies, states, and cities in emissions reduction.
Unveiled by COP30 President Ambassador Andre Correa do Lago, the plan aims to create a "global NDC," encouraging contributions from various actors beyond national governments.
The move is seen as strategic for the inclusion of U.S. businesses and local entities despite federal withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, marking a potential shift in global climate dynamics.
