Join us for a series of four panel discussions on COP30, the Amazon, and climate: “COP30 Belém: Why does it matter? What’s the most we can hope for? How can we make that happen?“. Panelists and audience members will have a chance to learn about the UNFCCC COP process; learn why the Amazon is critical and complicated for climate progress; discover some of the things that Brazilian and international organizations are doing to reduce emissions, enhance community resilience, and promote sustainable development; and learn more about ways to have an impact on the COP negotiations and climate goals more broadly.
