Brazil is already breathing in the air of the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP30, which will be held from November 10 to 21, 2025, in Belém, in the heart of the Amazon. With exactly one year to go until the beginning of the Climate Summit, the Brazilian Federal Government has intensified preparations to welcome more than 60,000 people, including heads of state, diplomats, entrepreneurs, investors, activists, and delegations from the 193 member countries.
The event, to be held in the state of Pará, will position Brazil as a catalyst for discussions on global and regional environmental issues, including the reduction of greenhouse gases, adaptation to climate change, financing for developing countries, preservation of forests and biodiversity, use of renewable energy and low-carbon solutions, and the social impacts of climate change.
Brazil is home to one of the world’s largest tropical rainforests, which are crucial in mitigating climate change’s effects. COP30 allows Brazil to showcase its efforts and commitments to environmental conservation and sustainable development, highlighting the importance of protecting the Amazon rainforest for the planet’s ecological balance.
