🇦🇺 Australia – Australian telecommunications company Telstra’s climate credibility has been challenged at its AGM, as Greenpeace Australia Pacific, alongside climate and investment experts, called out the company for its silence while serving on the board of the board of the Business Council of Australia (BCA) — a vested interest group that has doubled-down on its support for new gas and lobbied against climate action.

Brasilia, Brazil – Preparatory talks at the Pre-COP in Brasilia must now lead to ambitious forest and climate outcomes at the UN climate summit COP30 next month.

Ahead of COP30 in Belém, Greenpeace has proposed a forest action plan to end deforestation by 2030 and mitigation akin to a global response plan – as proposed by UN Secretary-General Guterres – to address the 1.5°C ambition gap in 2035 climate action plans.[1][2]

Carolina Pasquali, Executive Director, Greenpeace Brasil said: “Regardless of a very challenging international scenario, the Pre-COP had an important political engagement from parties and strong public demonstrations from civil society and the Indigenous movement, elevating hope and raising the bar for COP30 outcomes.” 

“We now need world leaders to listen to the voices of the people and deliver bold outcomes that will correct the path we are on. We are still waiting for a strong signal that this COP will deliver on closing the 1.5°C gap and on giving forests its due relevance in climate negotiations.”

Tracy Carty, Global Climate Politics Expert, Greenpeace International said: “2035 emissions targets are expected to fall drastically short of what’s needed and COP30 must face a hard truth: only a bold breakthrough such as a global response plan will cut it. COP30 must kick off a new phase of accelerated and transformative climate action – there is no time to waste.”

An Lambrechts, Global Biodiversity Politics Expert, Greenpeace International said: “COP30 is a critical juncture for global climate action and ending forest destruction is a crucial element of the 1.5°C solution. That’s why COP30 must deliver an action plan to end forest destruction by 2030 and there is no better moment than at a COP in the Amazon to do so.”

After the COP29 agreement on the new climate finance goal, the NCQG, one of the key issues discussed at the Pre-COP was the draft Baku to Belém Roadmap, which puts forward a plan for scaling up climate finance to US$1.3 trillion. Based on those discussions, however, it remains unclear whether COP30 will embrace the Roadmap recommendations in the COP outcome.

Rebecca Newsom, Global Political Lead, Greenpeace International Stop Drilling Start Paying campaign said: “COP30 must create an ongoing space to deliver the NCQG finance goal, in particular the scaling up of public finance by developed countries. COP30 can send a strong signal that it’s time to make polluters pay to close the climate finance gap fairly and fast.” 

“There’s no shortage of money or public support. What’s needed is political will to seize the huge opportunities of COP30 and the UN Tax Convention negotiations to unlock more finance for climate and social justice – both by making corporate polluters pay and taxing the super-rich.”

Leo Moran

Texte intégral (2037 mots)

My name is Leo Morán. I’m best known as the winner of MasterChef Colombia 2016. For me, food has always meant care, creativity, and connection. But in 2025, I left the kitchen and travelled to the Brazilian Amazon to see where much of the world’s food system really begins.

What I found there shook me. Behind the meals on our plates lies a story of stolen land, burning forests, and poisoned rivers, all driven by one industry: Big Agribusiness.

The Reality Behind “Less Bad”

From January to September 2025, Brazil recorded the lowest number of fires in 25 years, according to INPE. Headlines called it progress, “the best fire season in decades.” 

Standing there, breathing the haze, it didn’t feel like progress at all. The smoke stung my eyes and burned my throat. During my stay, I saw communities struggling to breathe, forests cleared to make way for cattle, and rivers running dirty with slaughterhouse waste. What good are headlines about “less fire” when people are still choking, when Indigenous Peoples are still having their lands under threat, when the forest is still falling?

And here’s the truth that hit me hardest: even with fewer fires, the Amazon is still edging closer to collapse. The haze doesn’t stop at Brazil’s borders, it fuels a global climate crisis that threatens food, health, and life everywhere. For me, it became painfully clear: “less bad” is nowhere near good enough.

The Rotten Core of Big Ag

Everywhere I went, I could see the fingerprints of industrial agribusiness. Big Ag’s model is simple: take more land, burn more forest, squeeze more profit, no matter the cost to people or the planet.

It thrives on expansion, always pushing further into Indigenous territories, always finding ways to bend or break the rules, always leaving destruction in its wake. Even when numbers make it look like things are “improving,” the reality on the ground tells another story: the machine never stops.

Big Ag sells itself as feeding the world. But what I witnessed made it clear: it’s not feeding life,  it’s feeding collapse.

The Human Cost

The cost of this destruction isn’t just measured in hectares of forest lost. It’s measured in human lives.

While I was in the Amazon, I breathed the smoke myself. I felt how heavy and suffocating it was. And I learned that for many families, this isn’t a temporary haze, it’s the air they live with every day. Reports show that children in the region are especially vulnerable, with rising cases of respiratory illness. Fire season might make the headlines once a year, but for them, fire season never really ends. I also heard accounts of workers trapped in conditions that stripped away their dignity, people promised jobs and hope, but ended up exploited, sometimes even working just for food and a roof. For Big Ag, these workers are just another resource to be used up and discarded.

And what struck me most was the injustice faced by Indigenous Peoples. These are the original guardians of the forest, the ones who have kept it alive for generations. Yet I learned how their territories continue to be carved up, their rights ignored, their voices silenced. Imagine watching the land that carries your history, your culture, your survival, taken away piece by piece to feed a system that only values profit.

This is the true price of industrial agriculture. Not just carbon emissions or deforestation percentages, but the daily suffering of people forced to breathe poison, to live without rights, to see their futures stolen.

And all of it is hidden behind the food on our plates. What looks like an ordinary steak, a chicken fillet, or a glass of milk can carry with it a trail of exploitation, illness, and dispossession. Once you’ve seen that trail, you can’t unsee it. And yet, amid the devastation, I also found hope.

I visited a village near Lábrea that is proving that another food system is possible. Agroforestry projects that restore soils and still put food on the table. Fisheries managed with care so rivers can sustain life for generations. Indigenous stewardship that keeps the forest alive while nourishing people.

This is food as it should be: not destruction, but connection. Not collapse, but care.

What’s Next and What You Can Do

Later this year, governments will meet in Belém for COP30, in the very heart of the Amazon. They face a choice: keep backing the corporations destroying the forest, or finally invest in the people who are protecting it.

I went to the Amazon to see for myself what was happening. I came back knowing that unless we break free from Big Ag, we are all at risk.

Auckland, New Zealand – New Zealand’s government has confirmed it will rewrite its climate law to weaken the country’s methane emissions target – a move Greenpeace warns will violate the Paris Agreement and embolden other major meat and dairy producers and exporters, including Ireland and Uruguay, to follow suit.

Shefali Sharma, Global Agriculture Campaigner, Greenpeace Germany said: “New Zealand has signalled to the world’s biggest meat and dairy producers that it’s fine to ignore the largest human-made source of methane – and in doing so, undermine the Paris Agreement and accelerate global heating. Other major livestock exporting countries will now feel empowered to follow suit, which risks sparking a race to the bottom and threatens to derail global climate action.”

“This decision by the New Zealand government pretends that current methane emissions from agriculture aren’t fuelling the climate crisis – despite overwhelming scientific consensus that drastic methane cuts are essential to prevent us from sweeping well past 1.5°C. This is a dangerous sleight of hand, and it delays the urgent action needed.”

Amanda Larsson, Senior Campaign Manager, Greenpeace Aotearoa said: “The New Zealand Government is going full-Trump when it comes to climate change – and the rest of the Pacific region is threatened as a result.”

The move means New Zealand will adopt a “no additional warming” methane goal – a dairy  industry-backed metric that permits continued high levels of agricultural methane emissions, despite warnings from climate scientists and the country’s independent Climate Change Commission that emissions must fall sharply.[1]

Greenpeace Aotearoa briefing on ‘no additional warming’ methane targets: GWP*: how the livestock lobby’s creative accounting threatens to derail climate action.

Methane is responsible for nearly 30% of current global warming and is over 80 times more powerful than CO₂ over 20 years. Cutting it is the fastest way to slow warming.

New Zealand is the world’s largest dairy exporter. Its agriculture sector accounts for nearly half of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions, with livestock methane being the major source. Trade agreements with the UK and EU include commitments to uphold the Paris Agreement.

The “no additional warming” approach has been promoted by livestock industry groups in other major exporting nations, including Ireland and Uruguay.
