Chinese-backed coal-fired power plants in Indonesia are surging to supply nickel mining operations, undermining President Xi Jinping's 2021 pledge to end overseas coal project financing. By 2030, these "captive" coal plants will grow to 29 GW capacity and could contribute to 27,000 premature deaths from air pollution while adding 3.4 billion metric tons of potential lifetime CO₂ emissions.
The trial for two suspects in the 2019 killing of Indigenous forest guardian Paulo Paulino Guajajara has been delayed again to 2026, six years after the crime, sparking outrage among the Guajajara people in Brazil's Amazon. This will be the first Indigenous killing case to go before a federal jury in Maranhão state, with prosecutors arguing the crime represented an aggression against the entire Guajajara community and Indigenous culture.
Mongabay's founder argues that protecting the 1.5°C climate target requires three integrated tracks: phasing out fossil fuels, establishing a time-bound zero-deforestation roadmap with transparent monitoring, and scaling nature-based solutions with rigorous community-led safeguards. Brazil's commitment to restore over 12 million hectares and end deforestation will require predictable finance that rewards verified results, with COP30 in Belém presenting a crucial opportunity for this integrated approach.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa told G20 leaders that global wealth inequality is undermining democracy and fueling conflict, noting that the world's richest 10% account for 74% of total global wealth while one in four people globally face moderate or severe food insecurity. The stark disparities consign billions to poverty and make the world less stable, requiring urgent G20 action to reduce inequality and promote inclusive economic growth.
