Join us at COP30!

  • Thursday, 20 November 2025
  • 18:30–20:00
  • Side Event Room 2

As the climate and biodiversity crises intensify, the COP30 Presidency has introduced the idea of a global mutirão: a collective, community-driven effort to accelerate action across governments, cities, businesses, Indigenous Peoples, science, and civil society.

Panelists will discuss how action for climate and nature can move forward together, with the aim to:
  • Explore approaches to high-integrity climate action that deliver real benefits for climate, nature, and communities, reinforcing COP30’s Global Mutirão vision.
  • Identify actionable pathways for advancing justice in climate and nature action, addressing structural inequalities and informing the road ahead for the Global Climate Action Agenda.
