What the COP is going on?

Online event on Nov 7 from 6:30pm to 7:30pm GMT

Overview

What’s in it? Want to hear about the history and importance of COP, and the key policies and agreements COP have established to help tackle climate change?

What’s the back story? 2025 marks the 30th year that the UNFCC Conference of the Parties (COP) is taking place. This year, COP 30 is being hosted by Belem in Brazil. COP 30 is already quite controversial due to the construction of a four-lane highway that goes directly through the Amazon Rainforest.

Tell me more! This online event aims to help translate for you what is happening at COP – from explaining the science of climate change (a summary from the IPCC report) to the history and importance of policy agreements, such as the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement.

“Something is working” #COP30

‘Something is working’: UN climate chief optimistic about green transition. #cop30

Exclusive: Simon Stiell believes economic benefits will compel countries to speed up climate action.

“We’re moving in the right direction,” he said. “Not fast enough, not deep enough, but [the progress countries have made on moving to a low-carbon economy] is showing that something is working. We need to find all the levers that are available to us, to see how we can accelerate further.”

‘COP30: Act Now for Climate’

Let’s Work Together for ‘COP30: Act Now for Climate’

As COP30 approaches this November in Brazil, ECO Action WAM is planning to mark this vital global moment with a month-long local awareness campaign with our partners — and we’d love to share this with you and gain your support.

From the 25th October to the 23rd November, we aim to highlight and celebrate the many positive climate and nature-related activities taking place across our area. Our goal is to work with our ECO Action Partners and our wider network to create a shared calendar of events, activities, and actions that will inspire local residents and amplify our collective impact.

We’ll be reaching out to invite your support and engagement with our and our Partners’ activities. They’ll be hosting events, launching new initiatives, or simply sharing good news, and we’ll share in a calendar — and promote across our website, newsletters, and social media (all tagged with #COP30: Act Now for Climate).
