The 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 30) is taking place in Belém, Brazil, from November 10 to 21, 2025. As the first COP held in the Amazon, it will highlight the connections between climate, biodiversity, food systems, and the rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities.
With major commitments now on the table, the focus is shifting to implementation. Negotiators will face mounting pressure to agree on indicators to measure adaptation action and set a clear roadmap for scaling up climate finance. Meanwhile, the third round of national climate plans will show whether the world can get on track to limit warming to 1.5°C and build the resilience needed to live with that reality.
As the President of COP 30, Brazil has indicated its aim for the global community to reinforce multilateralism, connect climate action to people’s daily lives, and accelerate the implementation of the Paris Agreement.
The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) has prepared a hub to help understand the issues and follow the developments.
