Conference events

Officially launched in September 2023 by the Global Compact – Rede Brasil and the venture capital manager KPTL, the Bioeconomy Amazon Summit (BAS) aims to expand the discussion around the role of innovation and entrepreneurship in the Amazon in the global climate change agenda.

Since then, the BAS organization has sought the support of local and national leaders to structure an event in which Amazonian entrepreneurs are the main protagonists of the program. A program that is built through the collaboration of volunteer curators, all with recognized experience in the region’s innovation ecosystem, who meet periodically to discuss BAS themes and names. Currently, the BAS Board of Trustees has around 40 people and discusses themes and programs that should be included in the 2nd edition of BAS, to be held between July 30 and 31, 2025, in Manaus (AM).

THE ROAD TO COP 30: FINANCE, BIOECONOMY AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT.

Amazon Week 2025 marks the third edition of a program dedicated to highlighting the critical role of the world’s largest rainforest in maintaining global climate balance, protecting biodiversity and fostering sustainable development.

This year, a series of impactful events in Berlin, Brussels, and Paris will hold heightened significance as they lead up to the UN Climate Change Conference (COP30), set to take place in the Amazonian city of Belém, in November 2025. COP30 represents a historic opportunity to spot the Amazon at the heart of sustainable development discussions, amplifying the voices of its peoples and their needs.

The Amazon Week 2025 will therefore be a key milestone on the road to COP 30, fostering dialogue with European partners and building momentum for ambitious commitments and collaborative frameworks.

The 2025 program is structured around two core pillars:

1. Finance: A robust financial architecture is indispensable for addressing the climate and biodiversity crises. This first pillar will explore pathways to effectively mobilize and allocate resources to the Amazon region and to nature in general, while also discussing means and solutions towards enhancing climate and biodiversity finance and making financial flows consistent with sustainable development.

2. Bioeconomy and Sustainable Development: This pillar emphasizes sustainable and equitable approaches to the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources, aligning with the G20 High-Level Principles on Bioeconomy, adopted under Brazil’s presidency of G20 in 2024, and the Mercosur-EU trade agreement, which will provide opportunities for interregional cooperation and access to EU markets for a variety of products of the “Socio-Bioeconomy”. This pillar also include the scaling up of initiatives dedicated to renewable energy, sustainable tourism, ecosystem restoration and bio-based technologies, which enhance ecological integrity.

Amazon Week 2025 will feature high-level and technical panels; policy dialogues focused on actionable outcomes; cultural showcases celebrating the Amazon’s heritage; and networking opportunities connecting governments, civil society, academia, and the private sector. As in previous editions, interested partners are invited to contribute to events and initiatives, ensuring a collaborative and inclusive process.

The Doris Duke Foundation (DDF) is excited to announce Treehouse—a dedicated hub for inspiring conversations, collaboration, idea generation and action on nature and natural climate solutions—at Climate Week NYC 2025. DDF launched Treehouse during Climate Week NYC 2024 with nearly 40 events and over 800 participants over the course of the week.

Invitation only – This Forum is organised in advance of Energy Asia 2025 which is scheduled for 16-18 June, 2025, to enable seamless attendance.

Under the theme of “The energy sector’s role in Nature Positive”, this flagship Forum may be the world’s first event focusing on the nexus of energy and nature. The hosts aim to convene 200 – 300 global leaders from the energy sector alongside government and other relevant organisations to explore themes such as government actions shaping the energy sector’s approach to nature, embedding nature into business decision-making, new energy value chains and nature, accountability frameworks, and engaging Indigenous Peoples in energy infrastructure.

The Forum plenary sessions will be complemented by deep dive sessions held by partner organisations, including WBCSD, Ipieca, and Bursa Malaysia, with additional ones being lined up.

This congress aims to consolidate the process of coordination and cooperation between indigenous peoples and local communities of the world’s forest basins (Amazon, Congo, and Borneo-Mekong-Southeast Asia, Meso-America), with the goal of creating a global coalition to support the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030).

The integration of climate and biodiversity issues will be encouraged, taking into account the rights and contributions of our peoples, who are often treated separately in international agreements. This coalition will act as an influential force within international bodies, highlighting the relevance of Meso-America and other forest basins in the global context.

The Cities & Nature Stage

As urban populations grow and climate impacts intensify, cities are under pressure to become more resilient, liveable and aligned with nature. At the Cities & Nature Stage, you will explore how urban environments can be transformed through climate-smart planning, nature-based solutions and inclusive policy frameworks that benefit people and the planet.

Join stakeholders from central and local governments, the private sector and environmental organisations as they showcase the strategies and innovations driving sustainable urban development. From restoring biodiversity to adapting to blue economy and sustainable live sports and events, the sessions will spotlight scalable, cross-sector solutions that will enable you to contribute towards a more sustainable future.

Topics on this stage will include: 

• Designing climate-resilient cities: rethinking urban planning to adapt to climate change

• Restoring nature in urban spaces: integrating biodiversity and nature-based solutions into development

• Rethinking infrastructure and mobility: building sustainable transport and smart city systems for the future

• Driving inclusive transformation: aligning policy, community engagement and cross-sector collaboration

Rio Climate Action Week (RCAW) is an independent initiative, in partnership with the Mayor of Rio de Janeiro and London Climate Action Week. It is the latest edition of a series of city-based climate action weeks – which include Auckland, Baku, Bangkok, Dublin, Prague, Shanghai and Sydney – inspired by the unique model pioneered by London Climate Action Week from 2019 onwards.

RCAW is closely tied to the UNFCCC process of climate diplomacy and its implementation-focused action agenda. It owes its origins to a desire to promote closer cooperation between the COP29 and COP30 Presidencies at a pivotal time for international climate change policy and action.

Rio Climate Action Week is a prominent city-based response to the Brazilian COP30 Presidency’s call for “mutirão” – collective effort.

RCAW and the climate action weeks are Mutirão in Action: demonstrating both bottom-up and top-down action to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change and build resilience across societies and communities.

​Held at the Maison de l’Amérique Latine and organized in partnership with INSEAD, the summit provides unique access to influential climate leaders, investors, and experts. The Paris edition is part of the broader Brazil Climate Summit initiative, which has engaged over 2,000 climate professionals through its U.S. editions since 2022.
