About the event

The Forest Pavilion at COP30 embodies a shared global commitment to forests as a cornerstone of climate action, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development. It serves as an inclusive, multi-stakeholder platform that unites governments, civil society, indigenous peoples, youth, the private sector, academia, and international partners in advancing the Global Forest Goals and the Paris Agreement.

Through dialogue, knowledge exchange, and partnership, the Pavilion highlights the indispensable role of forests in achieving a just and resilient future for people and planet. It fosters collaboration, mobilises action and finance, and amplifies diverse voices to accelerate progress towards halting and reversing deforestation by 2030 and safeguarding the world’s forests for generations to come.

At COP30, taking place in Belém, Brazil—the first UN Climate Change Conference held in the Amazon region—pavilions play a vital role in shaping the dialogue beyond the negotiating rooms. They serve as platforms for Parties, organisations, and stakeholders to showcase solutions, share knowledge, and build partnerships that advance global climate goals. Within this vibrant ecosystem, the Forest Pavilion stands as the dedicated space for elevating forest issues across climate, biodiversity, and sustainable development discussions, linking local action with global commitments.

The Forest Pavilion is coordinated by the Organizing Committee, co-chaired by Brazil and Canada. This multi-stakeholder Organizing Committee is comprised of Member States/Parties, international and regional organizations, and stakeholders including the private sector, civil society, philanthropies, women, youth, and academia.
