The Secretary-General will be in Belém, Brazil to attend the COP30.

During his visit, he will meet with negotiating parties, including various regional groups and ministers. He will also engage with civil society representatives, indigenous peoples and youth.

The Secretary-General has called for COP30 to ignite a decade of acceleration, a decade of implementation, given the serious gaps in meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement. While in Belém, he will reiterate his call for parties to provide a clear plan for doing so.
