Belém, the gateway to the Amazon, is buzzing this week as it hosts COP30, the UN’s big climate conference 🌿. After last week’s high-level meet-up, delegates are here to turn promises into action.
On the table: emission cuts to slow global warming, boosting climate finance for vulnerable regions, and plans to protect the Amazon and Indigenous rights. Think of emission cuts as setting a target for how much we reduce greenhouse gases, and climate finance as the funds that help countries adapt and switch to clean energy.
Why should young Asians care? Rising sea levels threaten coastal cities from Mumbai to Manila, and extreme weather hits hard across South and Southeast Asia. Here’s how you can tune in:
- Follow live streams from Belém on UN channels 📺
- Join online hackathons for green tech, like solar apps and smart grids 🔋
- Support local eco-initiatives—beach clean-ups, mangrove restoration or city cycling tours 🚴♀️
With global delegates aiming to agree on a new climate pact, COP30 could set the course for the next decade. For tech-savvy, socially conscious young people, this is our moment to track, share and push for real change 🌍.
Stay tuned, share your thoughts with #COP30, and let’s keep the climate conversation alive! 🔥
