This year, Brazil will host the COP30 climate conference in the heart of the Amazon rainforest – putting the spotlight on one of the world’s most important tropical environments, a biodiversity hotspot and globally important carbon sink.

But the world’s forests are increasingly under threat – both from deforestation and from the climate crisis itself. The Amazon rainforest is on the brink of a tipping point. 

The next decade will be crucial for our forests. What do we need to do to save them before it’s too late?

 

Following last year’s COP29 in Azerbaijan, join us on the road from Baku to Belém along with 1,000 experts, scientists, practitioners, policymakers and grassroots leaders from around the world, to lay the foundations for a resilient, productive and just future for forests, building on 30 years of CIFOR-ICRAF research and findings.
