Between November 10 and 21, Belém, in Pará, will host COP30, the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, organized by the United Nations (UN).
During the Conference, representatives from the public and private sectors, civil society, researchers, and scientists from various countries will discuss ways to advance strategies that promote financing, mitigation, and adaptation to climate change.
Following more low-key COPs, the Brazil COP has the mission of restoring confidence in the COPs and demonstrating that it is possible to align environmental protection, economic growth, social inclusion, and technological innovation.
The 30th edition, held in Brazil, will open space for technological innovations that present solutions for confronting the causes and consequences of climate change.
Furthermore, actions will be discussed for the reduction and mitigation of environmental impacts caused by the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG), energy transition, and social justice, which aims to bring improvements to the populations most affected by extreme climatic events.
In the case of a just energy transition, COP30 will show how the use of clean and renewable sources is fundamental for sustainability, social inclusion, and economic development.
According to the National Energy Balance (BEN) 2025, published by the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) and the Energy Research Company (EPE), wind and solar energy represent a 23.7% share of the country's total electricity generation in 2024, making Brazil one of the countries with the cleanest energy matrices in the world.
Basic Sanitation at COP30
Basic sanitation will also be at the center of the COP30 debates, and according to experts, they are expected to address the availability of resources for sanitation and the universalization of access to water.
In Brazil, for example, the Legal Framework for Basic Sanitation, established in July 2020, aims for the universalization of access to potable water, sewage collection, and treatment for the Brazilian population.
Since its establishment five years ago, the Sanitation Framework has already mobilized over R$ 370 billion in investments, in more than 60 projects across municipalities throughout the country, according to the study “Advances of the Legal Framework for Basic Sanitation in Brazil 2025,” conducted by the Trata Brasil Institute, in partnership with GO Associados.
However, to meet the Sanitation Framework's goals—99% of the population with access to potable water and 90% with sewage collection and treatment by 2033—operating companies need to invest even more.
The Trata Brasil study shows that the current average investment is R$ 53.63 per inhabitant, which results in 83% of the population having access to the water supply network, and in the case of access to the sewage network, this number does not reach 60%, according to data from the National Information System on Basic Sanitation (SINISA), base year 2023.
Given this scenario, COP30 is a space for public and private institutions to dialogue about the needs of civil society and, from there, develop and invest in solutions capable of mitigating environmental impacts and promoting improvements for the most affected communities.
