COP30 stresses ‘adaptation’ as path to fossil fuel-free world

COP30 (Brazil) concluded with a strong emphasis on adaptation rather than fixing dates for ending fossil fuels.
• Countries agreed to triple adaptation finance by 2035 and set up a two-year work programme on climate finance.
• The consensus (“Mutirão”) calls for ensuring climate action does not impede trade or the economic growth of developing nations.
• Adaptation finance—investing in resilience, agriculture, infrastructure—has lagged, and developed countries are urged to scale up contributions.
• The New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) on climate finance is expected to rise from $300 billion annually by 2035 toward $1.3 trillion from all sources.
• Developing nations welcomed progress on the Just Transition Mechanism (JTM) but warned that climate measures must not become trade-restrictive.
• The final COP30 text omits any explicit roadmap to phase out fossil fuels, reflecting political divides between countries demanding rapid fossil-fuel exit and those prioritising development and fairness.

About the UPSC Civil Services Examination (UPSC CSE)

The UPSC Civil Services Examination (CSE) is one of the most competitive and esteemed examinations in India, conducted by the Union Public Service Commission to recruit officers for services such as the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS), and others. The exam comprises three stages — Prelims, Mains, and the Personality Test (Interview) — designed to test a candidate’s knowledge, aptitude, decision-making, and leadership skills.


How to Prepare Effectively for UPSC CSE

Cracking the UPSC CSE requires a deep understanding of the syllabus, consistent revision, structured answer writing, and smart test-taking strategies. The Prelims test analytical and conceptual clarity, the Mains focuses on critical thinking, articulation, and subject mastery, while the Interview assesses presence of mind, ethical judgment, and personality traits relevant to public service.
