As the global climate crisis intensifies, humanity stands at a critical inflection point. Extreme weather events are becoming increasingly common, challenging food security, displacing entire populations, and threatening the future of our civilisation. Confronting these realities, global policymakers, scientists, non-governmental organisations, and civil society thought leaders will converge this year at the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (UN COP30).
Set to be held in Belém, Brazil, from November 6 to 21, 2025, the event is expected to chart a pathway for genuine progress. Nestled at the gateway to the Amazon, Belém stands as both a symbolic and strategic host city: a reminder that the world’s largest rainforest, a vital carbon sink, is also among the most threatened ecosystems on Earth.
