COP30 renewed the international consensus on climate action despite headwinds and launched a 5-year implementation-oriented Action Agenda for high-ambition organizations. Our takeaways detail the role business can play and the value at stake.

Host Spotlight: Brazil

Known as the gateway to the Amazon, Belém, in the Brazilian state of Pará, was chosen to host COP30 to help spotlight the importance of forests, nature, biodiversity, and the rights and contributions of Indigenous peoples. Brazil is home to one of the world’s most vital biospheres and holds significant potential for climate regulation. The country also holds significant potential for green economic growth—driven by its low-carbon resources, its position as one of the world’s leading food producers, and its high potential to scale nature-based solutions. As Brazil prepares to welcome global stakeholders, its social diversity underscores the need for inclusive dialogue and equitable climate solutions.

With a longstanding presence in Brazil, BCG has built a strong climate and sustainability practice that works across sectors to help accelerate the country’s transition. We partner with leading private and public institutions, NGOs, and civil society to design and deliver solutions that drive meaningful, lasting impact—supporting Brazil’s ambition to lead on climate, protect nature, and promote inclusive development.
