COP30: Agriculture at the Heart of the Issues
COP30 will take place from November 10 to 21, 2025, in Belém, northern Brazil, marking a crucial stage in fulfilling international commitments made ten years ago in the Paris Agreement.
This COP, located in the Amazon, presents an opportunity to focus on the role of forests and their users, including crop and animal farmers. For CIRAD, transforming agrifood systems and forestry to ensure greater sustainability and social justice must be central to the discussions.
- CIRAD emphasizes the importance of sustainable solutions, such as those implemented in Paragominas, the first "Green" municipality in the Amazon, which has halted deforestation.
- The CIRAD podcast "COP30 : la planète qu'on souhaite" (season 7, in French) explores these issues further.
Tropical forests and climate: a race against time.
