COMPOUNDING POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL CRISES ARE RESHAPING OUR WORLD – AND THE GAP BETWEEN CLIMATE RHETORIC AND REALITY HAS NEVER BEEN WIDER.

Trust in global institutions is eroding, and skepticism is justified. The world doesn’t need more promises. It needs a new vision that confronts the realities people live with — and insists that something better is still possible.

Belém, the gateway to the Amazon, will set the stage for COP30 – a place where the stakes of the climate crisis are immediate and tangible. Against this backdrop, TED Countdown House will bring together innovators, business leaders, scientists, activists and Indigenous knowledge keepers to reimagine what’s possible. Designed to complement the official COP agenda, we’ll ground the climate conversation in lived experience, practical solutions and honest reckoning.

In a world flooded with noise, the House is tuned to what matters: substance over spectacle, outcomes over optics. Here, breakthroughs are engineered – through curated gatherings that dismantle silos, immersive workshops where ideas are stress-tested in real time, and unstructured moments that foster creativity.

The 2025 UN Climate Change Conference (Conference of the Parties), better known as COP 30, is an annual global meeting where world leaders, scientists, non-governmental organizations and civil society representatives discuss actions to combat climate change. It is considered one of the world’s main events to address this topic.

Host – COP30 represents a historic opportunity for Brazil to reaffirm its leadership in negotiations on climate change and global sustainability. The event will allow the country to showcase its efforts in fields such as renewable energy, biofuels and low-carbon agriculture, and reiterate its historic role in multilateral processes such as Eco-92 and Rio+20. The event will be attended by heads of State, ministers, diplomats, UN representatives, scientists, business leaders, NGOs, activists, and other members of civil society from more than 190 countries.

The Nature Hub arrives in Belém with a two-week programme in the Blue Zone at COP30.
Hosted by 15 international organizations, this year’s Hub will focus on mobilizing diverse sectors to Lead, Invest, Adapt, and Grow WITH NATURE.  Check out the full pavilion lineup below.

The event will showcase the best examples of ambition in increasing the potential contribution of nature-based solutions to 2035 NDC targets as well as NDCs aligned with NBSAPs. Further, the speakers will discuss the scientific and economic rationale behind this alignment, as well as how countries can transition into converting NDC commitments into investment on the ground, that is synergistic with biodiversity, land, and sustainable development goals.

The first segment will feature a presentation on global insights on the state of 2035 NDCs, as it relates to increased ambition in nature-based solutions, alignment with the NBSAPs, and compliance with GST guidance. The presentation will be followed by a panel of country representatives who will highlight how they plan to harness nature as a climate solution in the implementation of their climate strategies – across mitigation, adaptation, loss & damage, and access to climate finance – as well as examples of inclusive and nature-positive climate action.

Sustainable agriculture lies at the heart of the climate and food security challenge. Transforming the sector requires coordinated action across all of the value chain: innovative practices at the farm level, resilient and low-carbon commodity supply chains, and new financial mechanisms that can benefit farmers, support implementation, and scale impact.

COP30 in Brazil — in the Amazon region — provides a unique opportunity to spotlight solutions and partnerships that align food system transformation with climate action, nature protection, and sustainable production.

Hosted by Danielle Carreria, Head of Finance Sector at World Economic Forum’s Tropical Forest Alliance, and Ajinomoto, this event will bring together finance and value chain actors to discuss how to accelerate a pro-farmer agriculture transition that can reduce emissions, restore and protect land, and deliver food security.

GYBN, YOUNGO, and Y4N release an update to the Global Youth Position Statement on NbS, showcasing new findings from youth. Linking youth voices and local leadership to UNFCCC and UNCBD, we will explore resource mobilisation, safeguarding, and equity in implementation of climate-nature solutions

World Soil Day (WSD) is held annually on 5 December as a means to focus attention on the importance of healthy soil and to advocate for the sustainable management of soil resources.

An international day to celebrate soil was recommended by the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) in 2002. Under the leadership of the Kingdom of Thailand and within the framework of the Global Soil Partnership, FAO has supported the formal establishment of WSD as a global awareness raising platform. The FAO Conference unanimously endorsed World Soil Day in June 2013 and requested its official adoption at the 68th UN General Assembly. In December 2013, the UN General Assembly responded by designating 5 December 2014 as the first official World Soil Day.

The seventh session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-7) will take place from 8 to 12 December 2025 at the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, on the theme “Advancing sustainable solutions for a resilient planet” .

The United Nations General Assembly designated 11 December “International Mountain Day”. As of 2003, it has been observed every year to create awareness about the importance of mountains to life, to highlight the opportunities and constraints in mountain development and to build alliances that will bring positive change to mountain peoples and environments around the world.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is the coordinating agency for the preparation and animation of this celebration and is mandated to lead observance of it at the global level. The Mountain Partnership Secretariat in the FAO Forestry Division is responsible for coordinating this international process.

The Paris Agreement was adopted on December 12, 2015, at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP21) in Paris. It was signed on April 22, 2016, at the United Nations headquarters in New York and came into force on November 4, 2016. The agreement’s main objectives are to limit the global average temperature increase to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to strive to keep the temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. These ambitious targets are essential for reducing the severe impacts of climate change and promoting a sustainable future for all.
