Briefings

Civil society and unions pushed for a new institutional mechanism to support just transitions at COP30 in Brazil, which resulted in the 'Belém-Antalya mechanism' (BAM). Despite the agreement, details on the mechanism's functions and financing remain vague, with developed and developing countries disagreeing on its purpose. The BAM emerged from collaboration between civil society, trade unions, and Indigenous groups, aiming to move just transition work from talk into action. Financial implications and specific operational details are not yet defined.

Key points

• The Belém-Antalya mechanism (BAM) was established at COP30 in Brazil to support just transitions, replacing the 'Belém action mechanism' previously proposed by civil society.
• Negotiations at COP29 in 2024 failed to agree on the purpose of the JTWP, leading to the BAM as a new institutional arrangement agreed upon at COP30.

Context

The BAM emerged from the collaboration of civil society, trade unions, and Indigenous groups at COP30 in Brazil, aiming to move just transition work from talk into action following failed negotiations at COP29.

Limitations

Details on the BAM's specific functions, operational scope, and financing remain vague. Developed and developing countries disagree on its purpose, and the agreement at COP30 was not fully detailed in the final text.
