COP30 Headquarters, Pará Prepares to Make Its Presence Felt at New York Climate Week

The governor of Pará, Helder Barbalho, will participate next week in the New York Climate Week 2025, in New York (USA), one of the main global meetings on climate change. The presence of the head of the state executive occurs less than two months before the 30th United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP30), which will be held in Belém from November 10 to 21, consolidating Pará as the center of international attention in the environmental debate.

Amazon in the Spotlight

According to Helder Barbalho, the meeting in New York will be an opportunity to increase the international visibility of the Amazon as part of the solution to climate challenges.

“NY Climate Week is a showcase for us to show the world what Pará and Brazil are preparing for COP30. It is also a space to reaffirm that the Amazon can be part of the solution, combining sustainable development, social inclusion, and forest preservation,” highlighted the governor.

Sustainability and Innovation

On the agenda, the governor is expected to present Pará's advances in sustainable livestock initiatives, with an emphasis on herd traceability and the adoption of practices that reconcile production and environmental conservation. Another topic will be the REDD+ Jurisdictional System, under construction in the State, which seeks to ensure transparency, monitoring, and socio-environmental safeguards in reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation.

The head of the state executive will also bring to New York the Bioamazon Valley project, which aims to transform the region's biodiversity into a vector of innovation and bioeconomy, stimulating productive chains, biotechnology, and startups focused on the sustainable use of natural resources.

“We want to show that the living forest can generate wealth, jobs, and opportunities for our population, with science, technology, and respect for nature. The Bioamazon Valley is the synthesis of this vision for the future,” emphasized Helder Barbalho.

Preparations for COP30

Helder also reinforced that COP30 will be historic for its ability to include civil society, traditional peoples, and Amazonian communities in the process of formulating solutions to the climate crisis.

“We are committed to making COP30 a milestone for the world. More than an event, it needs to be a call for transformation. This is what we will reaffirm in New York and in Belém,” he concluded.
