CONCEPT NOTE
With the conclusion of COP29 in Baku, the eyes of the world now turn to Brazil at a time when the urgency for more ambitious climate action has never been greater. COP30, which will be held in Belém, in the heart of the Amazon, carries the responsibility of transforming modest promises into concrete commitments to maintain the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. Brazil, as chair of this meeting, is taking on a central role by proposing priority debates on climate finance and climate justice, essential issues for guaranteeing an inclusive and sustainable energy transition. This scenario requires a robust and effective global alliance, where cooperation between nations is the basis for a climate response commensurate with the scale of the challenge.
The choice of Belém to host COP30 reinforces the symbolism and relevance of the Amazon in the global climate context, highlighting the need to connect global agendas to local realities. The conference will be a historic opportunity to boost Brazilian leadership and strengthen the role of the Amazon region as the epicenter of climate negotiations. More than discussions, COP30 should be marked by decisive actions that consolidate climate finance for developing countries and advance social and environmental justice. This road to Belem is both a call to collective action and a chance to turn the page towards a more resilient future for the planet and humanity.
