Following the end of COP30, Carbon Brief’s journalist answered a range of questions exclusively asked by its Insider Pass holders.

COP30 officially closed at 8:44pm on Saturday evening, with the final gavel coming down and more than 150 pages of decision text adopted at the summit in Belém, Brazil.

Less than 24 hours later, Carbon Brief published its 20,000-word summary of all the key outcomes from COP30.

It details the voluntary plan to curb fossil fuels, a goal to triple adaptation finance and new efforts to “strengthen” climate targets, among a range of other topics.

Building on this, Carbon Brief journalists answered questions on climate finance, deforestation, agriculture, trade measures and much more within the webinar.

The webinar was moderated by Carbon Brief’s editor, Leo Hickman, and featured the following Carbon Brief journalists:

  • Dr Simon Evans, senior policy editor and deputy editor
  • Daisy Dunne, associate editor
  • Josh Gabbatiss, policy correspondent
  • Molly Lempriere, section editor for policy
  • Aruna Chandrasekhar, land, food systems and nature reporter
  • Anika Patel, China analyst
  • Giuliana Viglione, section editor for food, land and nature

A recording of the webinar (below) is now available to watch on YouTube.
