Climate-Hypocrite an Censorship
Text from Regula Heinzelmann
November 28, 2025
At the COP 30 climate conference in Belém, some countries decided to introduce censorship measures for climate reporting. In addition, they want to provide developing countries with funds for climate actions and establish a fund for the preservation of rainforests.
A new four-lane highway cutting through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being built for the COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém. It aims to ease traffic to the city. The state government touts the highway's "sustainable" credentials, but some locals and conservationists are outraged at the environmental impact.
Along the partially built road, lush rainforest towers on either side - a reminder of what was once there. Logs are piled high in the cleared land which stretches more than 13km (8 miles) through the rainforest into Belém.

Climate-Censorship
The Global Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change today launched the Declaration on Information Integrity on Climate Change at COP30, establishing shared international commitments to address climate disinformation and promote accurate, evidence-based information on climate issues.
The Declaration commits signatories to promote the integrity of information related to climate change at international, national and local levels, in line with international hu-man rights law and the principles of the Paris Agreement.
"Climate change is no longer a threat of the future; it is a tragedy of the present," said President of Brazil Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in Belém. "We live in an era in which obscurantists reject scientific evidence and attack institutions. It is time to deliver yet another defeat to denialism."
The Declaration calls on governments, the private sector, civil society, academia and funders to take concrete action to counter the growing impact of disinformation, mis-information, denialism and deliberate attacks on environmental journalists, defend-ers, scientists and researchers that undermine climate action and threaten societal stability.
"We must fight mis- and disinformation, online harassment, and greenwashing," said UN Secretary-General António Guterres in the lead-up to COP30.
Under the Declaration, signatories commit to:
- Promote the integrity of information related to climate change in line with international human rights law, including freedom of expression standards
- Support the sustainability of a diverse and resilient media ecosystem to ensure accurate and reliable coverage on climate and environmental issues
- Support the inclusion of information integrity commitments into the Action for Climate Empowerment agenda under the UNFCCC
- Promote informed and inclusive climate action by advancing equitable access to accurate, evidence-based, understandable information for all
- Foster cooperation and capacity-building to address threats to information integrity, safeguarding those reporting on and researching climate issues
With resources falling short of needs globally, the Declaration calls on governments to ensure funds to research climate information integrity, especially in developing countries. It also urges the private sector to commit to information integrity in their business practices and ensure transparent, human-rights responsible advertising practices that bolster information integrity and support reliable journalism.

Great Transformation
The UNEP Adaptation Gap Report estimates that developing countries will require USD 215–387 billion annually by 2030 to build resilience against the escalating impacts of climate change. This is over ten times higher than the current levels of international public finance accessed by developing countries for adaptation. Bridging this gap will require improving coordination between sources of finances, support providers, and recipient countries to enhance access to a larger pool of finance for adaptation.
In MENA and South Asia, 11 of the 30 countries have submitted their first National Adaptation Plan (NAP), with half of these including a specific financing strategy. As more countries produce NAPs, the need for their implementation becomes more urgent. The First Global Stocktake called upon Parties that have not yet done so to have in place their national adaptation plans, policies and planning processes by 2025, and to have progressed in implementing them by 2030. It is therefore important to take stock of the current landscape of adaptation finance in the region and address existing gaps to strengthen the ability of countries to access finance for expeditiously implementing their NAPs. Strengthening linkages with international financing sources and building domestic capacities to access a range of financial sources will be critical to mobilize the quantum of resources needed to meet the growing adaptation needs.

This is a continuation of the Great Transformation – not a conspiracy theory, even though the word sounds like one. This so-called climate rescue program is actually a concept of wealth redistribution from the North to the South. It was established in 2007 in the Potsdam Memorandum, with information available in the link. Its costs were roughly calculated around 2010 – 1,000 billion US dollars per year until 2030, and even more afterwards.
The money could be better used for real environmental protection, for example, to make environmental technologies like sewage treatment plants, air purification, and recycling available worldwide. We are still a long way from that.
Protection of the Rainforests?
The new fund to protect the rainforest, launched by Brazil, is one of the positive outcomes of the World Climate Conference in Belém (COP30). The goal is to reward countries that preserve their forests. Sanctions are to be imposed for every hectare of forest that is destroyed.
In addition to money from public donors, the plan is to raise funds for the fund from private investors. This is intended to give it a substantial expansion. After Brazil, Indonesia, and Norway, Germany has also committed to making a significant contribution.
It's not a new idea; as early as 1990, there were so-called debt-for-nature swaps. At that time, this meant that debtor countries were obliged not to exploit relatively untouched areas but to place them under nature protection. In return, a portion of their debt was forgiven. Such agreements were made with several countries, for example, Costa Rica, Bolivia, Zambia, and the Philippines. Unfortunately, this could not prevent large-scale deforestation of the rainforests.
If the use of funds is not closely monitored, there is reason to fear that this will also not be possible with the new agreement.
