The events will be broadcast live and feature the participation of state ministers, delegation leaders, and representatives from civil society in Brazil and other countries
By WWF-Brazil A full day of debates about the challenges and opportunities for Brazil in addressing climate change and its upcoming presidency of COP30 is the goal of WWF-Brazil and its partner organizations. They will bring together national and international leaders on November 20 (Wednesday) at their booth during the climate conference in Baku.
The events will take place from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. (local time) at the WWF Pavilion at COP29, located in Pavilion G28 in the blue zone. All events will be streamed online via WWF's Climate and Energy channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/WWFClimate.
Topics to be discussed include financing nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and forest preservation, transitioning away from fossil fuels, Brazil's role in the debate on Global Adaptation Goals, the road to Belém, and civil society’s participation in shaping COP30, among others.
"As the host of the next climate conference and a member of the Troika committed to keeping the 1.5°C goal alive, Brazil has a historic role to play," emphasizes Alexandre Prado, WWF-Brazil's climate change leader and one of the organizers of the programme. "COP30 marks the beginning of the second half of the decade in which we need drastic emission reductions. It is the year when all countries are called upon to raise their climate ambition. All of us—civil society, governments, and businesses—must prepare for this challenge, which is also an opportunity to position Brazil as a leader in the new global economy, a carbon-free economy," he explains.
"The program was also designed to talk aboutthe role of civil society within the framework of the international climate regime. Although efforts have been made in recent years to boost the participation of social organizations, there is still significant dissatisfaction regarding these groups' capacity to influence the COP processes. Therefore, as we look ahead to COP 30 (and beyond), we aim to debate opportunities and challenges to ensure that society's voice is heard. From our perspective, the more inclusive the COP is, the better the outcomes will be. This could be an important legacy of the Brazilian presidency," says Tatiana Oliveira, Public Policy Specialist at WWF-Brazil.
