COP30: Agriculture at the Heart of the Issues
COP30 will take place from 10 to 21 November 2025 in Belém, northern Brazil.
Ten years after the Paris Agreement, the international community has reached a crucial stage in fulfilling its commitments.
This COP, in the heart of the Amazon, focuses on the role of forests and their users, including crop and animal farmers.
For CIRAD, transforming agrifood systems and forestry for greater sustainability and social justice must be central to the talks.
A successful example is Cirad'Innov Paragominas, the first "Green" municipality in the Amazon, which has stopped deforestation.
Solutions from Cirad'Innov Paragominas can inform the discussions.
