As Brazil prepares for the UN COP30 climate change summit in Belém, the first to take place in the Amazon region, Ambassador André Corrêa do Lago, COP30 president, has set three priorities for the host nation. These goals include strengthening multilateralism, ensuring COP 30 outcomes are accessible to society, and moving climate solutions from negotiation to action. With the right incentives, climate solutions reshape sectors while remaining economically viable. In 2023, global philanthropy allocated between US$9.3 and US$15.8 billion to climate mitigation, according to ClimateWorks Foundation. Yet climate still represents only 2 per cent of global giving, and less than US$100 million reached Brazil – despite its role as a biodiversity powerhouse and global climate stabiliser.
