BELÉM, BRAZIL — Entertainment + Culture Pavilion

We’re coming back to the Blue Zone!

Close the culture gap in climate policy

We will leverage our partnership with the Group of Friends for Culture-Based Climate Action to push for formal recognition of culture in UNFCCC frameworks and ensure its inclusion in NDCs and final COP30 texts.

Through high-impact programming, coalition building, and a dynamic space, we’ll send a clear message: the creative industries deserve a seat at the table in climate negotiations.
