MCLAREN GIVES MAX THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING! NORRIS KNEW THAT MICKEY DEE HAD JUST F…ED UP OSCAR ON THE EDGE OF TEARING UP AND, FERNANDO HAPPY TO BE IN THE POINTS!  NASIR HAMEED CORNER HAS THE USUAL BANTER AND MORE ON THE USF1 FIASCO! LUSAIL CITY, QATAR - NOVEMBER 30: Race winner Max Verstappen of the Netherlands and Oracle Red Bull Racing celebrates on arrival in parc ferme during the F1 Grand Prix of Qatar at Lusail International Circuit on November 30, 2025 in Lusail City, Qatar. (Photo by Mark Thompson/Getty Images) MAX: “I feel great, I am really proud of that one. We made the right call as a Team there to box: it was definitely what made us win the race today, as I felt like we were not on the same level as McLaren in terms of pace. When a safety car comes in it can shake up the grid and that was a great opportunity for us to then win the race. We did a very good job as a Team and I was very proud of us, especially as we nailed the strategy. In Abu Dhabi, we have nothing to lose and we are going to give it everything that we have. Of course, we are relying on another crazy race like we had today, but we are going in there with positive energy. We need to maximise the car and be as competitive as we can. We will stay focused, try and have a good time and hope that we start the weekend well.” LAURENT MEKIES: “We can definitely be happy with that one. The pace in the car steadily improved from Friday night when we were in a tricky position, to tonight when we could fight with the McLarens, which is a testament to the Team once again. Of course, the decisive moment was the call to come in under the Safety Car and it was another great call from our strategy team here and those working back in Milton Keynes. From there on, Max didn't put a foot wrong, drove two incredible stints, taking great care of his tyres and managed to create a solid gap to the McLarens, which drove us to this most welcome race win! Yuki managed to recover to score points and his pace was promising at the end of the race once outside of the DRS train. We'll need to perform again in Abu Dhabi and we will have absolute focus on getting the car into a position where Max can fight at the front and look ahead. What happens behind him is not something we can control." CARLOS: Extremely happy! We had a very strong start and from there we executed a perfect race with strategy, tyre management, pit stops and communication. By the end of the second stint, I saw Piastri struggled to overtake me on fresh tyres, and at that moment I realised we had to go for the podium. I was pushing to the limit of the car but 6 laps to the end something suddenly broke! I started losing a lot of lap time in sectors 1 and 3 but I managed to keep it together and bring it home for P3! Today's result is testament to the team's hard work; I knew we were taking the right steps and, despite some difficult race weekends along the way, I had full confidence in what we are doing. I'm extremely proud of everyone, we deserve this P5 in the Constructor's Championship, and I look forward to finishing the season on another high in Abu Dhabi! Let's go. JAMES VOWLES: Exceptional. Really fantastic performance from Carlos and the team when it counted and every detail adds up. Getting on the podium by milliseconds really is such a just reward for the incredible work the whole team is putting in this year. I was proud of Carlos and the team when we got our first podium in Baku; the second is a dream come true, but perhaps more importantly at a track that was almost our worst last year. And we've come back, we've reinvented ourselves and the result is there for everyone to see. For Alex, we will come back fighting in Abu Dhabi. We haven't got it all together this weekend, but I'll reiterate that his performance across the season is why we've secured fifth in the constructors' championship today. And more so than that, his pace is still there. We just need to bring it all together.  Finally, fifth would have been a dream come true just 12 months ago when we were languishing in ninth in the Constructors' Championship. Thank you very much. LUSAIL CITY, QATAR - NOVEMBER 30: Race winner Max Verstappen of the Netherlands and Oracle Red Bull Racing Second placed Oscar Piastri of Australia and McLaren Third placed Carlos Sainz of Spain and Williams and Hannah Schmitz, Principal Strategy Engineer of Oracle Red Bull Racing on the podium during the F1 Grand Prix of Qatar at Lusail International Circuit on November 30, 2025 in Lusail City, Qatar. (Photo by Lars Baron/LAT Images) OSCAR: Clearly we didn't get it right tonight. I drove the best race that I could as fast as I could and there was nothing left out there, so I tried my best. It wasn't to be tonight unfortunately. “I think in hindsight it's pretty obvious what we would've done. I'm sure we'll discuss it as a team. “It's not all bad, obviously,” Piastri said. “It's been a really good weekend. The pace has been very strong but obviously it's a little bit tough to swallow at the moment. “I'll just try and drive how I did this weekend, that's all I can do. I obviously need a lot of things to go in my direction so I'll just try and be as fast as I can and put myself in the best position possible and see what happens.” FERNANDO: "Two points yesterday and six today exceeds our expectations for this weekend. After the early Safety Car, we committed to the two-stop strategy along with everyone else. We didn't have the pace to fight ahead tonight. We got a bit lucky with the DRS train of cars and with how difficult it is to overtake here. We also got a bit lucky with the spin mid-race, because on another circuit maybe I would have ended up in the gravel. The points are a welcome boost in the battle in the Constructors' Championship as we head into Abu Dhabi." Martins wins in Lusail as Fornaroli seals 2025 Formula 2 title! Leonardo Fornaroli: It sounds amazing. I didn't have many expectations because it was a new  car and my first time working with an English team, so it was a bit scary but their mentality since  day one – I understood I made the right choice to go with them. Every day they were able to  make me feel at home. We had so much fun over the season and they were able to give the right  suggestions to help me improve, to make me feel better after a mistake or a bad  race or moment. Also, having Roman as a teammate this year, we've known each other for three  years, as we were together at TRIDENT, but in different categories. He has good experience in  Formula 2, so I was able to learn a lot from him, and he made me improve as well. To achieve this now, it's a massive relief, and it's a big boost of confidence, because I was able to show what I'm capable of, and also I'm quite happy about how the season went. For sure, there were some mistakes I could have avoided, some for inexperience and some were just my mistakes, but it's part of the game. The Championship is very competitive. You always have to be at the limit to score good results. So mistakes can happen, but nevertheless, I learned, was able to improve, and now to finally win this Championship, it's a massive relief. It was a dream for me to become Champion with one round to go so I could race and experience the race with a lot less pressure. But still, I will do the best I can, because the fight for the Teams' Championship is still on. So I will push as much as I can in Abu Dhabi, and try to still improve.

Os esforços do mundo para combater o aquecimento global ainda estão longe de serem suficientes para a humanidade escapar de um cenário trágico de alta média das temperaturas no planeta de 2,8 °C até o fim deste século. A partir desta quinta-feira (6), a cidade de Belém, no Pará, recebe a maior reunião internacional sobre como corrigir a rota para evitar o pior. Lúcia Müzell, enviada especial da RFI a Belém  A 30ª Conferência das Nações Unidas sobre as Mudanças Climáticas (COP30) acontecerá num contexto nada favorável: multilateralismo em crise, ausência dos maiores responsáveis históricos pelo problema – os Estados Unidos –, guerras em curso. Dois anos depois de os países terem atingido um acordo histórico para “se afastarem” dos combustíveis fósseis, responsáveis por 75% das emissões de gases de efeito estufa, o tema ficou em segundo plano, constata a cientista Thelma Krug, ex-vice-presidente do IPCC (Painel Intergovernamental das Nações Unidas sobre Mudanças Climáticas). Os investimentos em massa em energias renováveis, liderados pela China, ainda não conseguiram reverter a alta das emissões provocadas pelo petróleo, o carvão e o gás. "Os países não querem falar de phase out [saída] do petróleo porque muitos não têm ideia de quando vão conseguir fazer isso. Então, há uma maior velocidade na introdução de renováveis”, explica. "Para alguns isso vai ser mais fácil, para outros, vai ser mais difícil, até porque muitos não vão ter a mesma capacidade de ter tantas fontes de renováveis: não têm vento, não têm solar, nem hidrelétrica, nem geotermal que possa alimentar essa maior produção de energia. Há que se pensar em como os países poderão trabalhar, a partir de uma cooperação internacional fortalecida, com capacitação, transferência de tecnologia, para ajudar os países a fazer essa transição", diz Krug. Stella Hershmann, especialista em negociações climáticas do Observatório do Clima, complementa: "O que essa COP entregaria de mais revolucionário seria uma conversa honesta e justa sobre esses critérios e pensar: 'tá bom, quem vai começar? Quem vai apoiar quem? De onde vem o financiamento?'". Petróleo x combate ao desmatamento O problema é que o anfitrião da COP, o Brasil, exerce a presidência do evento com a credibilidade manchada, após a liberação de testes de prospecção para uma nova fronteira de exploração de petróleo, na foz do rio Amazonas. Natalie Unterstell, presidente do Instituto Talanoa, lamenta o mau exemplo: em vez de apresentar uma estratégia clara de transição energética, o Brasil chega a Belém com um plano de expansão dessas fontes poluentes. "Estamos presos ao slogan 'O petróleo é nosso', lá da década de 1960, 1970”, aponta Natalie Unterstell. "Eu quero que a gente fale que o ar é nosso, que o mar é nosso, que a floresta é nossa, que a energia limpa é nossa. Está na hora de trocar esse slogan.” Mas apesar do sinal negativo enviado pela medida, Thelma Krug considera "muito difícil" que algum país cobre o Brasil pela decisão, durante as negociações oficiais. A razão é simples: a maioria deles têm telhado de vidro na questão dos fósseis. "Há uma enorme quantidade de países aumentando a exploração de outras plantas de petróleo, de carvão, de gás natural. Temos Índia, China, Estados Unidos, Austrália, Canadá, para citar alguns", pontua. "Se houver pressão, ela virá da sociedade civil."  Atraso na entrega de compromissos climáticos  Nesta quinta (6) e sexta (7), o presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva recebe cerca de 60 chefes de Estado e de Governo para a Cúpula dos Líderes, que precede a conferência propriamente dita, a partir de segunda-feira (10). Ele deve insistir nos resultados positivos do país na luta contra o desmatamento, a principal causa das emissões brasileiras, à frente da agricultura e do consumo de fósseis. Os últimos números oficiais indicam a maior queda da devastação da Amazônia em 11 anos. A meta é zerar o desmatamento no país em dez anos. Os 196 membros da Convenção do Clima da ONU deveriam apresentar neste ano novos compromissos climáticos para encaminharem, até 2035, a transição para uma economia de baixo carbono. Às vésperas do evento, entretanto, apenas um terço deles cumpriu os prazos e, mesmo assim, as promessas colocadas sobre a mesa decepcionaram. "É um indicador muito ruim do comprometimento dos líderes dos países com o enfrentamento da crise climática. Por esse aspecto, é difícil você chegar a esse encontro otimista”, avalia Hershmann. "São muitos os desafios que essa COP tem que superar para entregar decisões significativas", diz. "Se a gente conseguir manter essa união, esse coletivo, independentemente da saída dos Estados Unidos do Acordo de Paris, eu já vou ficar muito feliz”, reconhece Thelma Krug. Adaptação, implementação, justiça climática Já que visar uma aceleração da queda das emissões parece irrealista, as três principais apostas do Brasil para o final da conferência são: chegar a uma meta de recursos para a adaptação dos países aos impactos do aquecimento global – como o aumento de enchentes e secas –, acelerar a implementação dos compromissos firmados no Acordo de Paris – como triplicar as energias renováveis até 2030 –, e trilhar um caminho para a transição justa, incluindo alternativas para desbloquear o financiamento necessário para os países mais vulneráveis. As Nações Unidas avaliam que, se todas as promessas no horizonte de 2030 e 2035 forem cumpridas, o aquecimento poderia ser limitado entre 2,3 °C e 2,5 °C até 2100. "Se, antes, a gente só olhava para clima medindo as emissões, agora a gente tem que medir resiliência: como é que a gente está protegendo as pessoas, protegendo a água, garantindo energia”, frisa Unterstell. “Hoje, todo o mundo tem que se adaptar: do Alasca à Austrália, da Mongólia ao sul do Brasil. A questão é que as necessidades são diferentes e aí cabe pontuar um assunto muito importante que tem que ser resolvido em Belém: o financiamento da adaptação." Na prática, isso vai significar um desafio ainda mais complexo para a alocação de recursos, salienta Krug. "Eu lamento muito isso: já não tínhamos muitos investimentos alocados para mitigação e hoje a gente é obrigado a ter recursos também para adaptação e para todos os países, independentemente de serem países desenvolvidos ou em desenvolvimento." Depois do fracasso da última conferência de Baku em viabilizar o financiamento climático para os países menos desenvolvidos, a COP de Belém está pressionada a desbloquear amarras, como a maior participação dos setores privado, bancário e financeiro. Mas o presidente da COP30, André Corrêa do Lago, antecipa que não será possível garantir já em 2025 o caminho para se chegar aos US$ 1,3 trilhão que a ONU estima necessários por ano. "Se a gente mantiver esse gosto amargo depois da COP, eu acho que a chance é, realmente, desse sistema, desse regime perder relevância, das pessoas não acreditarem mais e não quererem que seus governos apostem nesse mecanismo, o que seria muito ruim”, adverte a presidente do Instituto Talanoa.

World leaders are heading to the Amazonian city of Belém this month for COP30, as Brazil aims to deliver the most consequential climate summit in years.This year's negotiations come at a difficult moment. Concerns around trade relations and national security are dominating the political landscape, whilst a resurgence of disinformation has also pushed climate to take a back seat. But every five years, the Paris Agreement compels nations to reveal their progress and ambition. Brazil's COP30 Presidency is expected to launch a landmark plan to mobilise $1.3 trillion annually by 2035 for low-income countries, while negotiators refine how to measure adaptation goals and resilience. At the same time, a rising wave of anti-environment and anti-gender movements threatens to undermine global commitments.With the world's biggest emitters under scrutiny, the questions are urgent. What does real success look like in Belém? Can climate ambition survive amid political headwinds? And how can global diplomacy steer the transition toward a fairer, more resilient world?GuestsSara Pantuliano (host), Chief Executive, ODI GlobalEhsan Masood, Bureau Chief, Africa and Middle East, Nature Helen Mountford, CEO, ClimateWorks Foundation Sinead Walsh, Principal Research Fellow ODI Global Related resourcesODI Global at COP30 (Resources hub, ODI Global)Country Platforms (Project, ODI Global)From Washington to Belém and beyond: a new era for climate finance (Expert comment, ODI Global)

It's the trillion-dollar problem: funds are on the table - but the money isn't always flowing to where it's needed most. As Hurricane Melissa batters the Caribbean, it leaves behind a stark reminder of what's at stake when finance fails to reach the most climate-vulnerable places.This week on Inside COP, Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac, Paul Dickinson and Fiona McRaith unpack what it will take to fix the world's climate finance system, and make COP30 a turning point from pledges to real investment.The team are joined by guest host Sue Reid, Climate Finance Advisor at Global Optimism, to demystify the landscape of public and private finance and explain how smarter systems - not just bigger sums - can unlock climate action at scale. And Avinash Persaud of the Inter-American Development Bank, outlines the major finance innovations to watch in Belém, from debt-swap facilities to the ReInvest+ initiative.Plus, the team considers the latest NDC synthesis report, which highlights the gap between where we are and where we need to be. But do these nationally determined contributions reflect the real-world momentum already underway - or just mirror the politics of the moment?Learn more:

Em uma semana, o Brasil estará no foco das atenções do mundo, com o início da Cúpula do Clima em Belém, no Pará (COP30). Num contexto internacional desfavorável, a presidência brasileira do evento trabalha para que esta seja a COP da implementação: que a conferência enderece soluções para os países tirarem do papel as promessas feitas até aqui, para o enfrentamento do aquecimento do planeta.  Lúcia Müzell, da RFI em Paris Em entrevista exclusiva à RFI, em Paris, o presidente designado da COP30, embaixador André Corrêa do Lago, ressaltou que a revolução das energias renováveis desde a assinatura do Acordo de Paris, há 10 anos, traz razões para otimismo. “Antes do acordo, havia uma perspectiva de que a temperatura chegaria a no mínimo 4ºC até 2100, e agora já há um certo consenso científico que ela deve estar a caminho de 2,7ºC, se nós não fizermos ainda mais esforços", ressaltou. "Por mais que a gente não esteja no nível que nós deveríamos estar, muitos avanços aconteceram e nós podemos ser otimistas." A COP30 vai ocorrer em duas etapas: primeiro, nos 6 e 7, chefes de Estado e de Governo se reunião para a Cúpula dos Líderes na capital paraense, a convite do presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. O francês Emmanuel Macron e o presidente do Conselho Europeu, António Costa, estão entre os que confirmaram presença, mas é esperado que Belém não receberá números expressivos de lideranças, ao contrário do que ocorreu na reunião em Dubai, há dois anos.  Na sequência, de 10 a 21 de novembro, acontece a conferência propriamente dita, reunindo diplomatas, cientistas, especialistas, setor privado e sociedade civil, para duas semanas de negociações sobre os principais temas relacionados à mudança do clima. "Nós vamos ter anúncios muito importantes de aumento de recursos para adaptação", antecipa Corrêa do Lago.  A preocupação de que os Estados Unidos não apenas não participem da COP, como atuem para bloquear qualquer acordo em Belém, paira sobre o evento. O país, maior emissor histórico de gases de efeito estufa, não tem participado das negociações prévias à conferência, mas poderia enviar uma delegação para as negociações oficiais. “A questão da participação americana ainda é uma incógnita”, reconheceu o diplomata.   Confira os principais trechos da conversa: Quantos líderes exatamente vão participar da cúpula? Quais serão os chefes de Estado e de governo esperados e, depois dela, quantos países vão participar da Conferência do Clima de Belém? O número de autoridades que vão vir para cúpula ainda está indefinido, porque qualquer programação que inclua chefes de Estado hoje em dia é muito complexa: questões de deslocamento, segurança etc. Eu acredito que vai ser uma cúpula com alguns dos chefes de Estado mais relevantes, porque a liderança do presidente Lula hoje é particularmente notável no mundo e a questão do clima é um tema que alguns acreditam que diminuiu de intensidade do ponto de vista das trocas internacionais, mas quando a gente está falando de fortalecimento do multilateralismo, a questão do clima é absolutamente central. Então, eu acredito que nós vamos ter a esmagadora maioria dos países na COP. Dez anos depois da assinatura do Acordo de Paris, não podemos dizer que algum país tenha cumprido plenamente as suas metas climáticas. Nenhum grande emissor está, de fato, no caminho de limitar o aquecimento global a 1,5ºC, conforme o acordo prevê, entre eles o próprio Brasil. O que precisa acontecer em Belém para que essa conferência não seja lembrada como apenas mais uma rodada de promessas? Eu acho que tem certos países que estão no bom caminho, sim. Um deles é o nosso. A nossa NDC [Contribuição Nacionalmente Determinada, na sigla em inglês] para 2030 deve ser cumprida. Nós realmente temos sido exemplares, inclusive porque, como todos sabem, um dos grandes problemas das nossas emissões é o desmatamento. Eu acho que nós vamos continuar a ter números positivos no combate ao desmatamento. Outros países também progrediram de maneira significativa, aumentando os seus investimentos em renováveis. Tem uma quantidade de países que a gente não imagina que evoluiu de maneira incrível. Você pega o Uruguai, por exemplo: em oito anos, passou a ter tanta eólica que agora está com 99% da sua eletricidade renovável. O Quênia também está praticamente com 99%. Para nós, brasileiros, é natural, porque o Brasil tem renováveis há muito tempo, mais ou menos a 90%. Essa tendência tem se expandido de maneira impressionante. Vários países desenvolvidos estão reduzindo de maneira significativa as suas emissões. Ou seja, tem muitos resultados, e um dos que são muito claros é o quanto nós já conseguimos mudar o caminho que estava traçado antes do Acordo de Paris. Havia uma perspectiva de que a temperatura chegaria a no mínimo 4ºC até 2100, e agora já há um certo consenso científico que ela deve estar a caminho de 2,7ºC, se nós não fizermos ainda mais esforços. Ou seja, o Acordo de Paris funcionou para baixar, mas ainda não o suficiente. A expectativa é que nós poderemos progredir ainda mais, porque a economia que mais está crescendo e tem mais impacto sobre o clima, a chinesa, está clarissimamente voltada para o combate à mudança do clima. Então, eu acho que é isso que a gente gostaria muito que saísse de Belém: que o mundo reconhecesse que, por mais que a gente não esteja no nível que nós deveríamos estar, muitos avanços aconteceram e nós podemos ser otimistas. O Brasil pode continuar sendo um exemplo na área de clima depois de o Ibama autorizar os testes para a prospecção de petróleo na foz do rio Amazonas, apenas duas semanas antes da COP30?  Nós temos instituições, e o momento em que essa autorização pôde ser concedida foi agora. É o Ibama a instituição que decidiu. Eu acho que isso mostra que o Brasil, como todos os países, tem interesses e circunstâncias diferentes. Em um país que se tornou um produtor importante de petróleo, como o Brasil, é preciso pensar no petróleo no conjunto da equação do nosso esforço para diminuir a dependência das energias fósseis. Isso parece um pouco estranho, mas o Brasil já demonstrou coisas extraordinariamente positivas, como nas energias renováveis. Nós somos, ao mesmo tempo, campeões das energias renováveis e um importante produtor de petróleo. É preciso que a sociedade brasileira decida quais são as direções que o país deverá tomar e esse é um debate muito importante no Brasil. Decisões sobre a adaptação dos países às mudanças climáticas, que durante muito tempo foi um tema tabu nas COPs, estão entre as apostas da Conferência de Belém. Quais são as medidas concretas que o senhor espera sobre a adaptação? Isso não abre o caminho perigoso de os países acabarem contornando o grande causador do problema, que são os combustíveis fósseis? Quando eu comecei a trabalhar na área de clima, mais ou menos no ano 2000, havia, sim, essa ideia. “Meu Deus do céu, se a gente já for cuidar de adaptação, a gente não vai fazer o esforço de mitigação” [redução de emissões]. E a verdade é que nós todos estávamos errados, porque nós não sabíamos que a mudança do clima chegaria tão rápido. Você vê hoje, no Brasil, uma percepção muito clara do impacto da adaptação. Quando você pega o que aconteceu em Porto Alegre, é uma coisa que poderia ter sido diminuída se as obras de adaptação tivessem sido feitas – e isso é um alerta para todas as cidades brasileiras, de certa forma. Mas quando os rios secam na Amazônia, não é uma questão de adaptação. Isso só a mitigação resolve. Então, nós temos que avançar com os dois juntos. Leia tambémDivisão de europeus sobre metas climáticas simboliza riscos à COP30 em Belém Mitigação tem uma outra dimensão que sempre a tornou mais atraente na negociação que é a seguinte: onde quer que você reduza as emissões, vai ter um impacto no mundo todo. E a adaptação é vista como um problema local, um problema de prefeitura ou de estados dentro de um país, o que também é uma percepção errada, porque a adaptação é algo que tem hoje muito claramente um impacto grande, inclusive na atração de investimento para um país. Um país que tem condições para receber fábricas, infraestrutura, vai fazer uma diferença gigantesca nos investimentos. Eu acho que a gente tem que entender que são dois problemas diferentes, mas que são dois problemas que não podem ser dissociados. Na COP de Belém, nós vamos ter anúncios muito importantes de aumento de recursos, porque um dos problemas é que, como adaptação não tem um efeito global, muitos países doadores preferem dar dinheiro para mitigação porque, de certa forma, indiretamente, eles serão beneficiados, enquanto a adaptação é uma coisa que vai atingir pessoas que eles nem conhecem. Eu acredito que, inclusive, os bancos multilaterais de desenvolvimento vão colocar a adaptação como uma prioridade absoluta. Diante de um contexto internacional delicado, a presidência brasileira da conferência também dá ênfase à implementação das metas, ou seja, viabilizar que essas promessas feitas nas COPs sejam cumpridas. Vai ter como impulsionar a implementação sem resolver o grande embate sobre o financiamento, que sempre bloqueia as COPs? O senhor reconheceu recentemente que não vai ser possível garantir já em Belém o US$ 1,3 trilhão por ano de financiamento que se estimam necessários.   Não, ninguém vai aparecer um cheque com esses recursos. Mas o que há é uma consciência muito grande de que a mudança do clima está atingindo todos os setores da economia e os países em desenvolvimento não podem continuar a ter as responsabilidades, que ainda têm de assegurar educação, saúde, infraestrutura para as suas populações e, além do mais, incorporar a dimensão de mudanças do clima. Desde o início dessas negociações, os países desenvolvidos, que já emitiram muito para o seu desenvolvimento, teriam que contribuir. Eles têm contribuído menos do que se espera, mas eles têm contribuído. Dos US$ 100 bilhões que eram supostos aparecer entre 2020 e 2025, só a partir de 2023 é que ultrapassaram os US$ 100 bi que deveriam ter vindo. Agora, houve um acordo na COP de 2024 em Baku, de subir para US$ 300 bilhões a partir de 2035. Muitos países em desenvolvimento ficaram muito frustrados, porque ainda é muito pouco. É esse número que você disse sobre o qual nós estamos trabalhando, US$ 1,3 trilhão. Esse valor parece estratosférico. Na verdade, é um valor possível. Eu devo publicar dia 3 de novembro mais um relatório que deve sair antes da COP, assinado por mim e o presidente da COP29, sobre como traçar o caminho para conseguir US$ 1,3 trilhão. Especialistas em negociações climáticas temem que os Estados Unidos não apenas não participem da COP30, como atuem fortemente para bloquear qualquer acordo relevante na conferência. Essa é uma preocupação sua? Hoje há várias preocupações. Nas negociações oficiais, tudo tem que ser aprovado por consenso. Na verdade, qualquer país pode bloquear uma COP, e já aconteceu em várias negociações de um país se opor ao que os mais de 190 outros estavam de acordo. A questão da participação americana ainda é uma incógnita, porque, em princípio, os Estados Unidos, ao se retirarem do Acordo de Paris formalmente há 11 meses, apenas estão esperando a formalidade do trâmite. Eles têm que esperar um ano para sair formalmente, o que só vai acontecer em janeiro. Em princípio, os Estados Unidos não têm participado das negociações porque eles querem sair delas. Vamos ver como é que a coisa evolui, porque nós sabemos muito bem que há um contexto internacional um pouco especial. Os Estados Unidos têm participado muito ativamente de outras reuniões em organismos e convenções das quais eles não disseram que sairiam, que foi o que aconteceu com a Organização Marítima Internacional e na negociação de plásticos, em que os Estados Unidos foram muito atuantes. Mas eles estavam atuantes num contexto em que eles são membros plenos e pretendem continuar a ser membros plenos, que não é o caso do Acordo de Paris. Então, vamos ver como é que vai ser: se os Estados Unidos vão mandar uma delegação, e como vai ser a atuação americana em Belém.

Our first re-release in memoriam of the 30th anniversary of the Baku Metro fire (October 28, 1995).

Ten years after the Paris Agreement, the world's climate negotiators will gather in Belém, Brazil this November for COP 30, a summit many are calling a critical juncture for global climate action. After COP 29 in Baku ended with what developing nations called a woefully inadequate $300 billion annual commitment—far short of the $1.3 trillion economists say is needed—can multilateral climate negotiations still deliver the justice and transformation the climate crisis demands? And with 71% of climate finance currently provided as loans rather than grants, how is the debt crisis crushing developing countries' ability to invest in climate action?Rebecca Thissen, Global Advocacy Leader for Climate Action Network International, joins Sustainability In Your Ear to unpack what's really at stake in Belém. With a background in International Public Law and years in the trenches of climate justice advocacy, Thissen works at the intersection of finance, economics, and climate action to ensure money flows where it's needed most. She discusses the just transition work program, Brazil's controversial Tropical Forests Forever Facility, the International Court of Justice's groundbreaking ruling on climate obligations, and why only 10% of countries showed up with their nationally determined contributions. Climate Action Network represents nearly 2,000 organizations across 130 countries, making it the world's largest coalition working on climate change.

In EVN Report's news roundup for the week of October 24: Gyumri's controversial mayor, Vardan Ghukasyan, is detained on corruption charges; Armenian and Azerbaijani civil society representatives meet in Yerevan; Baku lifts its ban on cargo transit to Armenia through Azerbaijani territory; the government announced that mandatory military service will be reduced from two years to 1.5 starting in January 2026 and more.

If you grew up in the Western world, it's entirely possible you've heard of a singular Silk Road used for trade between two major entities, Europe and China. And maaaybe Marco Polo. But the reality is so much more deeply textured and layered with transitions of food, spices, ideas, and cultures along along a wide array of travel and trading routes across Asia. My guest this week, Anna Ansari, speaks to this through her new cookbook-cum-memoir Silk Roads: A Flavour Odyssey with Recipes from Baku to Beijing. In this thoughtful and rich cookbook, Anna celebrates her Iranian-American heritage with the world's most storied trade routes through 90 recipes and essays. Anna is an Iranian-American writer, cook, and former international trade lawyer whose work explores the intersections of food, family, and history. Her work as appeared in Pit Magazine, Eaten, and Fillerzine. She lives in London with her husband, son, and cat. In today's conversation, Anna talks about her own journey into writing Silk Roads and researching culinary narratives across Asian trade routes, the expansive history of food and ideas travelling along the Silk Roads, and why the apple isn't so quintessentially American as people would think.  Learn More From Anna!

As the First World War drew to a close and regimes began to collapse across Europe, British officials plotted a daring campaign to send an unlikely band of maverick soldiers, diplomats and spies to the chaotic region around the Caspian Sea. Their mission: to block the advance of the Turks, to hold back the rising Bolsheviks and prevent a Turkish-inspired jihad overwhelming India, and to secure the vital supply of oil from Baku.It was an almost impossible task, but Mavericks: Empire, Oil, Revolution and the Forgotten Battle of World War One (Bloomsbury, 2025) by Nick Higham tells the gripping stories of the remarkable and enterprising characters at the centre of it all, who would be tested to the limit. There was Lionel Dunsterville, the inspiration for Kipling's Stalky and commander of the expedition; Ranald MacDonell, a Scottish aristocrat and diplomat who smuggled millions of roubles for the war effort; Edward Noel, a seemingly indestructible soldier who was held hostage for sixty-five days in horrific conditions; Toby Rawlinson, the younger brother of one of Britain's most senior generals and a brilliant inventor; and Reginald Teague-Jones, a spy who printed his own currency and would eventually emerge as an author at the age of ninety-nine.Drawing on personal diaries, memoirs and once-secret government archives, Mavericks brings to life a cast of eccentric heroes who survived against all odds to tell their extraordinary tales. This is a propulsive story of boldness and intrigue, set in a forgotten corner of the Great War where the rules were made to be broken. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

HEADLINE: Russian Oil and Gas Revenue Squeezed as Prices Drop, Turkey Shifts to US LNG, and China Delays Pipeline GUEST NAME: Michael Bernstam SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Michael Bernstam about Russia facing severe budget pressure due to declining oil prices projected to reach $40 per barrel for Russian oil and global oil surplus. Turkey, a major buyer, is abandoning Russian natural gas after signing a 20-year LNG contract with the US. Russia refuses Indian rupee payments, demanding Chinese renminbi, which India lacks. China has stalled the major Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline project indefinitely. Russia utilizes stablecoin and Bitcoin via Central Asian banks to circumvent payment sanctions. 1910 BAKU

Why did Ilham Aliyev agree to sign the Washington Accords and start the process of normalization? Nerses Kopalyan explains that the decision was rooted in a strategic recalibration, shifts in U.S. negotiation tactics, incentive structures and Baku's internal calculations about its future leverage.

With 16 Drivers' and Constructors' World Championships combined, Williams are the third most successful team in Formula 1 history – behind Ferrari and McLaren. But they haven't won a title since 1997 and it's 13 years since they last won a race, so Team Principal James Vowles is on a mission to bring the glory days back to Williams. In 2025, the team have taken big steps towards success. Carlos Sainz secured the team's first podium in four years when he finished third in Baku, and they've amassed their highest points total since 2016. Speaking to Tom Clarkson, James reveals what he and Carlos spoke about over dinner before that sensational podium, why that result means so much to the whole team, and the reasons Carlos had endured a frustrating season up to that point. On the other side of the garage, James shares what he thinks is different about Alex Albon this year and how he's risen to the challenge of having a much more experienced and competitive teammate. And while Williams have performed better than expected in 2025 with such a strong driver line-up, their main focus is 2026. So what opportunities will the new era of Formula 1 bring them? Given James's first-hand experience of the intense championship battles between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg at Mercedes, what would his approach be if Alex and Carlos are fighting for a title in the coming years?

Former Renault driver and F1TV commentator, Jolyon Palmer, joins Tom Clarkson to preview this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix. Max Verstappen has won the last two races in Baku and Monza, so will Red Bull's resurgence continue on the streets of Marina Bay? And with his gap to championship leader Oscar Piastri down to 69 points, with seven races and three F1 Sprints to go, can Max really still win a record-equalling fifth title in a row?  Jolyon shares his thoughts on Verstappen's chances and analyses the mistakes Oscar made in Azerbaijan that have put Max back in the conversation.  Plus, after Carlos Sainz scored his first podium with Williams last time out, Tom and Jolyon discuss whether they can be frontrunners in 2026.
