Briefings

Following the 2026 COP28 agreement to phase out fossil fuels, nations are now divided over how to implement the transition. Brazil proposed a voluntary roadmap at COP30, but it faces significant opposition from countries like Turkey and Russia, who prioritize different energy strategies. A report from BOGA indicates that only 12 of 146 national climate plans explicitly detail how to move away from fossil fuels, highlighting a critical gap in implementation. The roadmap will be unveiled at COP31 in November, but its success depends on resolving fundamental disagreements about principles, financial architecture, and the role of fossil fuels as transition fuels.

Key points

• Only 12 of 146 updated national climate action plans submitted to the UN explicitly detail how to move away from fossil fuels, despite the 2026 COP28 agreement to phase out coal, oil, and gas.
• Brazil proposed a voluntary roadmap at COP30 to be unveiled at COP31 in November, but opposition from Turkey and Russia has prevented it from becoming an official negotiation document.

Context and limitations

Coverage is limited to the period from 2024 to late 2026, with data on national roadmaps and international negotiations as of August 2026. Specific details on COP31 outcomes and the final roadmap content remain unverified as of this snapshot.
