Brazil opens pavilion at COP31 to promote climate cooperation and investment
Brazil opened its pavilion at COP31 on November 9 in Antalya, Turkey.
The United Nations climate conference brings governments and other groups together to discuss action on climate change.
The pavilion will showcase Brazil’s environmental progress, including lower deforestation and a record share of renewable energy in its energy mix.
Its 115 events bring together governments, Indigenous peoples, businesses, researchers and civil society groups to discuss green solutions and investment opportunities.
The program has one auditorium for public policies and Brazilian solutions, and another for global climate action.
A science pavilion that featured at COP30 in Belém is absent because it did not receive enough financial support.
