Countries have submitted their national positions on the COP30 roadmaps for transitioning away from fossil fuels and halting deforestation by 2030. While developed nations focus on carbon pricing and supply chain accountability, developing nations are demanding grant based finance and reforms to the international financial architecture to make the transition viable. The submissions highlight a sharp divide between historical emitters and the Global South. Key tensions remain over the cost of capital for renewables and whether standing forests will be properly valued through results based finance and ecosystem services.
