Ambassador André Corrêa do Lago, Trustee at CEBRI and current Secretary of Climate, Energy, and Environment at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, published his first letter as President-Designate of the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30) this Monday (March 10).

The document outlines Brazil's strategic priorities in leading the Climate Summit, which will take place from November 10 to 21 in Belém (PA). This year, COP30 occurs at a symbolic moment, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the entry into force of the Kyoto Protocol and the 10th anniversary of the adoption of the Paris Agreement, reinforcing the importance of global commitment to the climate agenda.

In the letter, the Ambassador highlights the influence of Brazilian culture, deeply rooted in indigenous traditions, in formulating collective solutions, emphasizing the concept of "mutirão" (Motirõ in Tupi-Guarani). By sharing this ancestral tradition, grounded in cooperation and community effort, the presidency of COP30 invites the international community to join Brazil in a global effort against climate change.

In this context, the Conference of the Parties reaffirms the importance of multilateralism in preserving and expanding its collective legacy, establishing itself as a strategic space for cooperation among governments, businesses, and civil society. By promoting the convergence of efforts, COP30 drives innovative solutions and high-level arrangements to tackle the global challenges of the 21st century.

CEBRI reaffirms its commitment to the topics addressed in the letter and will continue to support and influence Brazilian leadership towards COP30. Through strategic dialogues and concrete contributions, CEBRI seeks to strengthen Brazil's climate diplomacy and position the country as a leader in the global sustainability agenda.
