Brazil is preparing to host COP30, a pivotal climate conference that acknowledges the urgent need for action against climate change.
The nation is calling for a shift from negotiation to implementation, emphasizing that a decade of decisive action is critical.
This message comes from COP30 President-designate Andre Aranha Correa do Lago, who draws on Brazil’s football culture to inspire a comeback against climate challenges.
In his inaugural communication to UNFCCC parties, do Lago emphasized the Brazilian concept of “virada,” which represents turning the tide when defeat appears imminent.
He believes that with collective effort, COP30 can be a turning point in the global fight against climate change.
This commitment reflects a growing recognition of the pressing environmental issues facing the world today.
