Brasilia, November 12 (Xinhua) — Cities, businesses, and civil society play a central role in implementing climate change mitigation strategies, according to a UN report released Tuesday at the 30th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP30), which is taking place in the Brazilian Amazon.
The Global Climate Action Annual Report 2025, launched in COP30 host city Belém, notes that these non-state actors, or “non-parties,” play a vital role in advancing global efforts to curb global warming.
The report provides an overview of global efforts to combat climate change, highlighting both progress and challenges that have emerged in the 10 years since the landmark Paris Agreement was adopted in 2015.
This year's report "demonstrates that the Global Agenda for Climate Action has evolved from a platform for mobilization to an instrument for implementation," Simon Steele, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), noted in the foreword.
“This demonstrates that the systemic transformation is in full swing and points to where the pace now needs to be accelerated,” he added.
At the opening ceremony of COP30, S. Steele emphasized that real progress has been made in implementing the Paris Agreement, noting that for the first time the curve of emissions that increase the planet's temperature is declining.
An annual report published by the UNFCCC shows that the number of individual climate action actors registered on the Global Climate Action website has more than doubled, from 18,000 in 2020 to more than 43,000 in 2025.
The number of registered climate initiatives also increased from 149 to 243 over the same period, demonstrating growing global commitment to combat climate change.
The document states that progress is visible across all areas, particularly in renewable energy and forestry finance. The data also shows that greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture are declining and the mortality rate from natural disasters has decreased.
However, the UNFCCC noted that significant challenges remain, including insufficient investment, increasing deforestation and rising emissions from the building sector, requiring greater collective efforts to address the gaps.
