Climate Bridges at COP30

What bridges do you think are most important to build for real climate progress?

From 6–21 November 2025, the 30th UN Climate Conference (COP30) will take place in Belém, Brazil, a historic gathering marking a decade since the Paris Agreement. World leaders, scientists, civil society, and communities will come together to accelerate climate action and deepen collaboration across regions, generations, and disciplines.

Climate Bridges will be there — both on site in Belém and online — connecting what happens inside the summit with the creativity and collaboration unfolding beyond them. Our focus: turning disconnection into collaboration, and showing how communities are already leading the transition toward a just and regenerative future.

Our Role at COP30

Throughout the conference, we’ll be amplifying voices from the field — women and youth leaders, food systems innovators, finance experts, and mindfulness practitioners — and sharing reflections on how connection can drive systemic change.

We’ll explore how:

  • Investing in women entrepreneurs builds climate resilience and inclusive growth

  • Transforming food systems is essential for both people and planet

  • Redirecting finance flows can unlock innovation and equity

  • Inner transformation supports the outer transition toward sustainability

Follow along as we bridge policy and practice, finance and community, inner and outer change.
