The roadmaps are not binding, contain no deadlines or milestones and leave it to each country to diagnose its own dependence on fossil fuels before choosing policies. Among the suggested steps are urgently cutting the flaring and venting of gas at extraction sites, reducing fossil fuel subsidies and expanding renewable generation. The forests roadmap estimates that about US$300 billion a year will be needed by 2030 and US$500 billion a year by 2050, against about US$85 billion available today. André Corrêa do Lago, Brazil’s president of the UN climate summit (COP30), said the roadmaps are documents of implementation and should be taken up by finance, transport, energy and infrastructure ministries in each country. Joeri Rogelj, a professor at Imperial College London, said the roadmaps are valuable but fall short of indicating the pace of change needed because they include no timeline or key benchmarks.BrazilClimate https://sagire.online/wire/e1d077d8/https://sagire.online/wire/e1d077d8/Mon, 02 Nov 2026 01:21:00 -0300Indian authorities began evacuating residents along the eastern coast as Cyclone Murasu approached, with landfall expected early on Tuesday, with around 2,000 people evacuated and preparations to move a further 30,000, Prakhar Jain, managing director of the Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority, told Reuters.
