Brazil: COP30 Preparations and Logistical Challenges

Brazil will host the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30), to take place in Belém, Pará, from November 10-21, 2025. The choice of hosting COP30 in the city was praised by the Brazilian government, but there are concerns related to infrastructure and logistics, including the high cost of lodging, accommodations, mobility, and the legacy of the conference for the city’s residents. The agricultural and livestock sector is responsible for nearly 30 percent of Brazilian emissions (or over 70 percent when including emissions from deforestation directly or indirectly caused by the sector) and is working to adhere to Brazil's climate commitments, offering low-carbon solutions such as the use of biofuels and innovative agricultural practices.
