For those who need a reminder...

The Baku to Belém Roadmap to 1.3T was established as part of the decision on the New Collective Quantified Goal on Climate Finance NCQG) at COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan in November 2025.

The outcome of the NCQG was completely inadequate for many reasons, including that it failed to deliver on Loss and Damage finance at the scale of the needs of developing countries which our calculations suggest are at least 724.43 billion USD year and economic quantification has suggested will be 395 [128–937] billion USD in 2025.

However, the Baku to Belém Roadmap to 1.3T provides an opportunity to address the failure of the NCQG to deliver Loss and Damage finance. It is also a critical opportunity to clearly define actionable steps and measurable outcomes for the Roadmap, ensuring robust accountability mechanisms and transparent tracking of progress towards achieving the at least 1.3 trillion USD and 300 billion USD annual goals of the NCQG by 2035.

What are the key dates of the work plan for the Baku to Belém Roadmap to 1.3T?

Key milestones include:

• 30 April 2025: publish a work plan for developing the Roadmap;
• 8 September 2025: publish draft Roadmap for consultation;
• 27 October 2025: publish Roadmap and Presidencies report; and;
• CMA 7 (this will take place during COP30 in Brazil 🇧🇷): High-level launch event of Roadmap.
  

Does this work plan meet the urgency of the climate crisis?

The short answer is no.

The NCQG decision, actually said the work under the Road map should conclude at COP30, yet that is when the work plan says it will be launched.

What is our key message?

It is critical for those who attend the consultations with the Presidencies in Bonn to stress that the Baku to Belém Roadmap to 1.3T must progress rapidly once launched, ratcheting up the provision and mobilisation of high quality non-debt inducing climate finance to meet the 1.3 trillion USD and 300 billion USD annual goals of the NCQG by 2035. Participants should also ask how the work plan will address the Loss and Damage.
