In statements to Prensa Latina, the Brazilian diplomat noted that it will be a necessary conference in the search for responses that will benefit developing countries.

Correa do Lago emphasized that the COP is a conference that takes place every year, but the meeting in the Brazilian city of Belem next November is special because it occurs 10 years after the Paris Agreement, and science has also shown us that we have very little time to act and make the necessary changes, he emphasized.

The Brazilian diplomat, who is participating in the Global Ethical Stocktake (GES) in New Delhi—an initiative to improve the moral dimensions of negotiations and prepare for major meetings—stressed the urgent need to find economic solutions that also benefit people and ensure continued development in a very complex context.

On the other hand, Ana Toni, the Executive Director of COP 30, told Prensa Latina that the objectives of the Summit in Brazil are very clear, and that they include strengthening multilateralism, which has been declared essential for Brazil, India, and all Latin American countries.

She also referred to the importance of accelerating actions, such as investment, for countries, which she considered will be a major issue in Brazil.
