Silva: It’s no coincidence that COP30 is being held in the heart of the Amazon rainforest
São Paulo, November 8 (Hibya) – Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said that it is no coincidence that the UN Climate Summit (COP30) is taking place in the heart of the Amazon rainforest.
President Silva stated that the fact that COP30 is being held in the heart of the Amazon is no coincidence, saying: “This is an opportunity for politicians, diplomats, scientists, activists, and journalists to get to know the realities of the Amazon up close.”
He said that they want the world to see the true state of the forests, the planet’s largest basin, and the lives of millions of people in the region, adding: “COP summits should not just be fairs for good ideas or annual trips for negotiators.”
Silva emphasized that these meetings should be a time to connect with reality and to take concrete steps in combating climate change.
