00:00The COP30 climate summit in Brazil concluded with a final text that avoided a roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels,
00:09drawing criticism that described the outcome as an empty deal and a moral failure.
00:14Countries that attended the UN's flagship climate change conference, whose economies rely heavily on fossil fuel production,
00:20like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, were openly opposed to any such target or roadmap.
00:27One day before the end of COP30, the EU threatened not to endorse the final text, which had to be approved by consensus by nearly 200 nations.
00:37In the end, the EU did not see another option than backing the paper while recognizing its lack of ambition.
00:44Climate researchers and environmentalists say the outcome reflects a fragmentation within the international order.
00:51The absence of the U.S. created a political and financial vacuum,
00:56and experts say the resistance from petrostates was too great for a roadmap towards phasing out fossil fuels to succeed.
01:03The outcome of this year's summit came ten years after the historic Paris Agreement,
01:08when world leaders committed themselves to take real action against global warming.
