COP30 will bring world leaders, NGOs, businesses and civil society to Belém, Brazil from 10–21 November 2025 — the first time a COP is hosted in the Amazon region. COP30 will highlight the critical role of tropical forests, protecting and restoring ecosystems, and nature-based solutions. This significant global summit will focus on accelerating climate action, updating national climate plans (NDCs), and reviewing progress on the Paris Agreement commitments, particularly the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5c. Touted as an “implementation and action” COP, its goal is to translate Global Stocktake (GST) outcomes into concrete climate action.

With a strong focus on translating the Global Stocktake into action, key themes include:

• The energy transition

• Climate finance

• The launch of carbon markets

• The role of nature and local actors in tackling climate change
