COP30 exposed the distance between promises and power. Clark Marchese closes the Belém reporting arc with a broader analysis of climate policy, scientific reports, carbon markets, emissions, China's energy transition, the United States' absence, and the meaning of a just transition. With Carola Mejía of Latindadd, the episode examines the Tropical Forest Forever Facility and the tensions among climate finance, Indigenous stewardship, international power, and forest protection.
