Covering COP30

Christiana Figueres, a founding partner of the nongovernmental organization Global Optimism, in conversation with CCNow's Mark Hertsgaard at COP30. In 2015, Figueres led the process that secured the landmark Paris Agreement. She took questions from reporters (both in person in Belém and online) about how and why the climate fight can still be won.

Highlights

Interview: ‘Perhaps It’s Better the US Is Not Coming to Belém’

Covering Climate Now’s executive director, Mark Hertsgaard, is in Belém, Brazill, for COP30. In this interview with Al Jazeera posted on Monday, November 10, he talks about what he’ll be looking for during these two weeks of negotiations.

While in Belém, CCNow will be talking with journalists also covering the UN climate conference and posting videos with their analysis of the negotiations as they happen. You can follow along on our Instagram feed or our YouTube playlist.

Q&A with Christiana Figueres

On Tuesday, November 11, CCNow held a press briefing in Belém, with Christiana Figueres, the Costa Rican diplomat who was the architect of 2015’s Paris Agreement. Hertsgaard interviewed Figueres and took questions from journalists covering COP and those joining online from around the world.

CCNow partners are welcome to quote and use video clips from the interview. We also have a broadcast quality video file available for download for partners who would like it. Email us at editors[at]coveringclimatenow.org. Please send us links to any journalism you publish based on this press briefing so we can amplify it!

InfoAmazonia Live NewsFeed

CCNow will also be sharing key COP30 reporting by InfoAmazonia, a network of news outlets across the region, providing a local perspective on the summit; this material, translated into English and Spanish, will be free for media everywhere to republish, though our chief hope is that it informs how journalists around the world understand the summit.

Among the highlights of the collaborative coverage is the real-time feed, a platform that will bring together minute-by-minute updates on the official and side events of COP30 in Belém. With multimedia content — including text, photos, audio, and short videos — it will be constantly updated by more than 30 reporters from national and local outlets specializing in socio-environmental coverage.
