WWF dismayed at failure to include roadmaps to transition away from fossil fuels and stop deforestation
BELÉM, Brazil (21 November 2025) – Reacting to new draft texts released at COP30, Stephen Cornelius, WWF Global Deputy Climate and Energy Lead, said:
“The latest COP30 draft texts are extremely disappointing. Vested fossil fuel interests and big agriculture must be celebrating the lack of any roadmaps to transition away from fossil fuels and to stop deforestation. The strong steer from President Lula has been ignored. Today is the last day of the negotiations, and we need substantial improvements to stay on a pathway to a 1.5°C world and avert worsening planetary crisis. We call on countries to include roadmaps on fossil fuels and deforestation with concrete milestones in the final text.”
