We can’t solve the climate crisis without forests – but will forests survive in our warming world?
This year, Brazil will host the COP30 climate conference in the heart of the Amazon rainforest – putting the spotlight on one of the world’s most important tropical environments, a huge biodiversity hotspots and globally important carbon sink.
But forests are increasingly under threat, both from deforestation and from the climate crisis itself. The Amazon forest might be close to its tipping point. What do we need to do in the next decade to save the forests before it’s too late?
On the pathway from Baku to Belém, join a thousand experts, practitioners, policymakers and grassroots leaders from around the world to lay the foundations for a resilient, productive and just future for forests.
Detailed program information and in-person ticket details will be released shortly.
