COP30 falls short, offering a ‘spark of hope but far more heartbreak’ – Oxfam Cass Hebron Sat, 11/22/2025 - 17:25 Off In response to the outcome of COP30, Oxfam Brasil Executive Director Viviana Santiago said:   “COP30 offered a spark of hope but far more heartbreak, as the ambition of global leaders continues to fall short of what is needed for a livable planet. People from the Global South arrived in Belém with hope, seeking real progress on adaptation and finance, but rich nations refused to provide crucial adaptation finance. This failure leaves the communities at the frontlines of the climate crisis exposed to the worst impacts and with few options for their survival.
