About

On July 24, Belém, Brazil — gateway to the Amazon and host city of the UN’s upcoming COP30 climate conference — welcomed a landmark gathering of climate leaders, community voices, and global changemakers for Global Citizen NOW: Amazônia. More than just a summit, it was a powerful call to action to protect one of the planet’s most vital ecosystems and support the people who have defended it for generations.

In one dynamic day, the summit brought together a wide-ranging coalition of leaders from across the Amazon Basin — including Brazil, Colombia, and Ecuador — to hear directly from Indigenous advocates, policymakers, scientists, investors, and youth organizers on how to best drum up investment, amplify frontline voices, and unlock real, locally driven solutions.
