The Global Commons Alliance, partners and members – including Earth4All, Earth Commission, Future Earth, Nature Positive Initiative, Systems Change Lab and many more – will be in Belém, Brazil, for the 30th UN Climate Change Conference (COP30), November 10-21, 2025. 

COP30 marks ten years since the Paris Agreement was adopted and is crucial for assessing progress so far, negotiating stronger climate plans, and accelerating action to 2030 – a key deadline for countries to meet the global emissions reduction goals. This year will also focus on adaptation finance, Indigenous stewardship, and nature-based solutions, particularly in the Amazon.

The time for systems change to safeguard our global commons is now. We look forward to working together at COP30 for a just world, on a safe planet.
