Brazil to Host Global Climate Summit with Leaders

The Brazilian city of Belém is preparing to host a major international climate summit on November 6 and 7, bringing together leaders from Europe, Latin America, and Africa to address global climate challenges and strengthen international commitments toward environmental sustainability.

According to an official statement, the summit represents a key milestone in the global dialogue on climate action and will serve as the opening event of the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30), which will continue until November 21.

Over the two-day summit, participating leaders will take part in plenary sessions alongside three thematic discussions focusing on forests and oceans, the global energy transition, and the tenth anniversary of the Paris Climate Agreement.

Belém, strategically located near the Amazon River and the Atlantic Ocean, has undergone major infrastructure improvements in preparation for the event. These include upgraded roads, expanded hotel capacity, and a modernized port to accommodate large cruise ships carrying international delegates and guests.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres has called on participating nations to reach a comprehensive agreement during the summit to mobilize 1.3 trillion US dollars annually by 2035, aimed at supporting climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts in developing countries.
