[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

After two weeks of meetings and overnight negotiations down to the wire, #COP30 is concluding with countries agreeing to *begin discussions* on fossil fuel phase out. The COP president says "the issue of stronger language on moving away from fossil fuels can be raised again in six months time at an interim COP meeting." And as the article emphasizes, "they achieved this incremental progress only in the teeth of implacable opposition from oil-producing countries."

When unanimous decisions are required, as few as one or two countries (and in this case, a block of them but clearly still a minority) can veto, even though the science is clear: we must phase out fossil fuels not for the sake of the planet, but to ensure a livable future for us all... including the inhabitants of the countries who prevented this phrase from being included in the final agreement.

It is also worth noting that fossil fuel industry-supported attendees made up the second largest delegation to the climate conference after that of the host country, Brazil.

As Mohamed Adow of @powershiftafri said: “With an increasingly fractured geopolitical backdrop, Cop30 gave us some baby steps in the right direction, but considering the scale of the climate crisis, it has failed to rise to the occasion."

“More than 80 countries supported a transition away from fossil fuels, but were blocked by countries that refused to support this necessary step. More than 90 countries supported improved protection of forests. That too did not make it into the final agreement. Unfortunately, the text failed to deliver the scale of change needed.” Carolina Pasquali of Greenpeace Brazil added.

Wole Soyinka is the youngest 90-year-old I've ever met. He's still teaching, travelling and walking upright.

"That's the annoying thing, that I don't feel 90," he told me. But he's made "arrangements" for his death

“I don’t believe in the Islamic God; I don’t believe in the Christian God” Wole Soyinka told me.

He accepts the label of an atheist but says he is a "spirit-sensitive person" who follows Orisha, a deity of the Yoruba people
