<h1>Global South Takes Climate Action Lead: Brazil and India Drive Change Amidst Developed Nations' Shortcomings</h1> The president of COP30 emphasized the pivotal role of the Global South, particularly India and Brazil, in leading climate action as developed nations falter. Highlighting Brazil's commitment to exceed the UNFCCC and Paris Agreement goals, he noted a shift in climate leadership to the Global South due to geopolitical challenges and insufficient climate finance from developed countries. Brazil and India are collaborating on a 'South-to-South' agenda, with India potentially hosting COP33. The COP30 president stressed the need for broader institutional involvement in climate commitments, advocating for a substantial increase in climate financing and clearer communication of climate action benefits.
