The capital of Pará will be, this Wednesday (13), the stage for the meeting that will define the participation of Brazilian states in the 30th United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP30), which will mobilize more than 190 countries in Belém from November 10 to 21.

The meeting will open with the governor of Pará, Helder Barbalho, host of COP30. “This is a decisive moment to ensure that Brazil speaks with one voice at COP30, with proposals that reconcile environmental preservation, social inclusion, and economic development, with the Amazon at the center of the agenda,” he emphasizes.
Next, Ambassador André Corrêa do Lago, president of the National Commission of COP30 and Brazil's chief negotiator at climate conferences, will give a presentation on the preparations and central axes of the event.
