Belém highway: The contested road to COP30

Ahead of the highly anticipated COP30 climate summit in Belém, Giles Pitts explores the battle over the future of clean energy. While the UN Secretary-General insists that science and economics favour a rapid transition, the documentary highlights powerful counter-narratives—including a public letter blaming an “over-reliance on renewables” for destabilising the electricity grid. Pitts sets the stage for a summit full of tension, where negotiators will wrestle with the true financial and human costs of a green transition versus the looming price of climate inaction.
