ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½, CEBRI, and The Global Foundation discuss sustainable patways for COP 30 and beyond in the Amazon

The Caraj¨¢s Roundtable brought together experts, business leaders, government, community and corporate representatives to explore how integration across these sectors can drive progress and viable solutions to the climate challenge

Over three days (August 13¨C15), ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½, the Brazilian Center for International Relations (CEBRI), and the Australian-headquartered The Global Foundation convened leaders from government, the public and private sectors, civil society, and the international community in the heart of the Amazon for an in-depth dialogue on the challenges of climate transition and the preservation of nature. The region is central to nature-based solutions for addressing the consequences of climate change. Throughout the discussions, there was consensus that expanding dialogue channels between governments, businesses, and civil society is essential to forging commitments and partnerships and making concrete contributions to COP30.
 
Caraj¨¢s, in ±Ê²¹°ù¨¢, where ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ has operated for 40 years, hosted the Caraj¨¢s Roundtable¡ªa major forum focused on sustainability and innovation. The roundtable featured three levels of government in Brazil: Ambassador Andr¨¦ Corr¨ºa do Lago, CEBRI Advisor and President of COP30, along with the Governor of Para State, Helder Barbalho, also the Mayor of Parauapebas. Key topics such as global climate governance, industrial decarbonization, the role of the private sector, forest conservation, and climate finance were addressed across five panels. It was the Global Foundation¡¯s most important global gathering of the year, further advancing its ongoing Global Project ¨C ¡®Shaping Global Governance for Climate and Nature¡¯.
 
Jos¨¦ Pio Borges, Chair of CEBRI¡¯s Board of Trustees, stated that the Caraj¨¢s meeting exemplifies the successful partnership between the institution and ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½. He emphasized that climate transition depends on integrating technical knowledge with local and international public policies¡ªissues that were thoroughly discussed during the days in the forest. This integration will be a central theme at COP30: ¡°It¡¯s a crucial moment for Brazil and the world, an opportunity to reinforce the country¡¯s role in global climate governance.¡±
 
ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ CEO Gustavo Pimenta highlighted the private sector¡¯s role in seeking and adopting climate solutions. ¡°Coordinated action, political courage, and corporate responsibility are needed. ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ aims to be a catalyst for dialogue between the public and private sectors,¡± he said. According to Pimenta, ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½¡¯s operations in Caraj¨¢s¡ªwith 97% of the territory preserved¡ªdemonstrate that a sustainable approach to mining is possible, balancing economic growth and environmental protection: ¡°Our operations go beyond mineral extraction; they generate value with environmental and social responsibility.¡±
 
Steve Howard, Secretary-General of The Global Foundation, stated that COP30 is a turning point for Brazil and the world, in particular the emergence of the Global South. He noted that the Foundation¡¯s network promotes partnerships among civil society, businesses, and governments, and is already working to build a bridge to COP31. Australia is a potential candidate to host the next conference. ¡°Brazil has so much to offer the world in practical actions for nature conservation and the energy transition,¡± he said.
