FGV at COP 30: support in organizing in Belém strengthens the climate agenda in the Amazon

Fundação Getulio Vargas, through FGV Projetos, has been supporting the organization of the 30th United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP30) since 2023. The institution provided technical advice to the State Government of Pará in the strategic planning of the event, developing integrated solutions aligned with the strict goals of the UN for COP30. The work involved especially planning solutions, technical support, communication, and relationship-building.

The outcome of this cooperation enabled the capital of Pará to gear up to host visitors in various types of accommodation, as well as thousands of media professionals and representatives from global entities. Notably, this edition has seen the highest participation of indigenous peoples in the entire history of the climate conferences, consolidating COP30 as an event of broad representativeness and international visibility.

André Coelho, the executive manager of the project team, emphasizes that the Foundation's contribution aligns with the Foundation's commitment to national development: "Supporting an event of this magnitude, in the heart of the Amazon, is in line with FGV's mission to think and implement solutions for the development of Brazil. The impact on Brazilian society goes beyond the conference; it is about building a legacy of sustainability, infrastructure, and effective public policies in the Amazon, ensuring that the event is not only a success in terms of organization but also drives real and lasting transformations for the region and the country."

With activities scheduled until November 21, Brazil — and especially Pará — remains at the center of global attention. FGV Projetos remains active throughout the event, monitoring operations and contributing to the strengthening and improvement of public policies essential to addressing the climate crisis.

About COP30

The 30th United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP30) began on November 10, 2025, in Belém, marking a historic moment for the Amazon region. For the first time, the largest global climate event is hosted in the heart of the forest, reflecting the recognition of the strategic importance of the Amazon in international environmental discussions.

Data from the United Nations Climate Change Forum, which is the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which organizes the Conference of the Parties (COP) annually, highlight the participation of representatives from 194 countries. They arrive in Pará with the mission of negotiating agreements capable of promoting concrete advancements in the global climate agenda. The diverse and numerous presence of authorities, experts, and activists reinforces the political weight of the conference, considered crucial to accelerating commitments towards carbon neutrality.
