COP30 Summary of outcomes

At the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30), Canada engaged with nations globally to advocate for robust climate commitments highlighting that climate action is moral responsibility and an economic necessity.

This year’s COP marked the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, a landmark global treaty that commits Canada and nearly 200 other countries to take actions to limit global warming and strengthen the world’s response to climate change.

Throughout the negotiations, Canada worked with countries to:

• strengthen multilateralism
• foster dialogue
• build consensus
• and advance evidence-based, inclusive climate action

International climate finance investments

Canada announced a total investment of $392 million across five projects to support climate action in developing countries, advancing Canada’s commitment to global climate leadership and inclusive, locally led climate solutions. This funding will help support climate change adaptation, nature conservation, and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, in partnership with Canadian and international organizations.

Action to support adaptation and resilience

Canada is leading global efforts to strengthen early warning systems in developing countries. This includes support for the Climate Risk and Early Warning Systems (CREWS) initiative. As the current CREWS chair, Canada hosted an event at COP30 to launch the CREWS 2030 Strategy (PDF). This enables climate‑vulnerable nations to build inclusive, effective, and sustainable systems that save lives, protect livelihoods, and reduce risks of loss and damage. This strategy marks progress toward universal coverage by 2027 under the United Nations Secretary-General’s Early Warnings for All initiative.

Canada also endorsed Brazil’s Call to Action on Integrated Fire Management and Wildfire Resilience to advance international cooperation on emergency preparedness and response.

Action on reducing emissions

At COP30, Canada joined the Coalition to Grow Carbon Markets—a partnership with states such as the United Kingdom, France, and Singapore. The coalition aims to enhance demand for high-integrity carbon credits and increase private investment in greenhouse gas mitigation. Canada signed the Open Coalition declaration; a collaborative initiative aimed at fostering mutual understanding of carbon pricing mechanisms. It also promotes convergence and transparency around measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) systems, carbon accounting standards, and high-level principles for the use of offsets. Canada also endorsed Drastically Reducing Methane Emissions in the Global Fossil Fuel Sector, which confirms our commitment to reduce global methane emissions, one of the fastest ways to slow global warming and keep the Paris Agreement goals within reach.

Canada welcomed the Powering Past Coal Alliance’s (PPCA) new Plan to Accelerate Coal Transitions to fast-track the energy transition and ensure energy security and good jobs.

Gender-responsive climate action

At COP30, Canada reaffirmed its shared commitment to human rights and gender-responsive climate policies in a new Global Statement on Gender Equality and Climate Action (PDF).

Canada also reaffirmed its commitment to ambitious, inclusive, and forward-looking actions to ensure that gender equality is at the heart of climate efforts. At COP30, Canada welcomed the adoption of a new Gender Action Plan, marking the beginning of close to a decade of significant and meaningful work to ensure that women and girls, in all their diversity, are brought to the forefront in shaping climate solutions.

Information integrity on climate change

Canada endorsed the Global Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change, a partnership launched by the United Nations, UNESCO, and Brazil to coordinate international research and action on climate misinformation and disinformation. By joining this initiative, Canada is showing that we are committed to combatting climate disinformation and building resilience within Canada and with the international community.
