## Key points

- Brazil released a voluntary roadmap on ending deforestation.
- 93 countries backed it by the end of COP30.
- It supports existing pledges but creates no new commitments.

## Summary

Brazil’s COP30 presidency released a voluntary roadmap intended to help countries turn existing forest pledges into coordinated action to halt and reverse deforestation. It matters because the initiative attracted broad support at the Belém summit, but it sits outside formal COP decisions and creates no new commitments.

By the end of COP30, 93 countries had backed the roadmap, including the EU’s 27 member states, alongside the 56-member Coalition for Rainforest Nations. The document followed more than 200 contributions, including submissions from 18 countries and four negotiating blocs; Brazil’s presidency and the Climate Policy Initiative led its development. Its aim is to support country-led pathways towards 2030 while recognising different national priorities and challenges.
