Brazil has officially launched a bid for the north-eastern city of Belem to host the Cop30 international climate summit in 2025.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The country’s new president Lula da Silva said in a video on Twitter that Brazil’s foreign relations ministry had formalised Belem, located in the state of Par\u00e1, as a candidate to host Cop30.<\/p>\n

“In Egypt I made the pledge that Brazil could host Cop30, and I am happy to know that our [foreign] minister Mauro Vieira has formalized Belem’s bid,” Lula said in the video alongside Par\u00e1 Governor Helder Barbalho.<\/p>\n

“I hope we are going to make a beautiful Cop,” he said, shaking the hand of a smiling Barbalho.<\/p>\n

Barbalho said that Cop was “the biggest climate event on the planet” and that Cop30 would discuss the Amazon and the global climate and find solutions.<\/p>\n

Hoje conversei com o governador do Par\u00e1, @helderbarbalho<\/a>, sobre a formaliza\u00e7\u00e3o da candidatura de Bel\u00e9m como cidade sede para a COP-30. Esperamos poder receber o maior evento clim\u00e1tico do mundo em uma cidade parte da Amaz\u00f4nia brasileira.<\/p>\n
