COP30 is the 30th United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP), an annual global meeting where world leaders, scientists, non-governmental organizations, and civil society leaders gather to discuss actions to tackle climate change. It is considered one of the world's key events on the subject. COP30 is a historic opportunity for Brasil to reaffirm its leadership in climate change negotiations and global sustainability. The event will allow the country to demonstrate its efforts in areas such as renewable energy, biofuels, and low-carbon agriculture, as well as to reinforce its historic performance in multilateral processes such as Eco-92 and Rio+20. COP30 will be attended by leaders, ministers, diplomats, UN representatives, scientists, business leaders, non-governmental organizations, activists, and other members of civil society from more than 190 countries. COP30 in Belém is committed to sustainable practices such as offsetting carbon emissions, using renewable energy in the event's facilities, and promoting a circular economy with a focus on recycling and reusing materials. The event continues the Paris Agreement signed at COP21 and the discussions of previous COPs. The goals of limiting the global temperature increase to 1.5°C and climate finance commitments will be the key themes for monitoring progress since COP29 and accelerating future action.
COP30 will be held on November 10-21, 2025, in Belém, Pará, Brasil.
