On November 6, he’ll join leaders at the Heads of State Summit which is part of the Conference of Parties summit held every year under the UN Framework on Climate Change to discuss progress on environmental issues.

The Heads of State Summit is being held at Belem in Amazonia and will take place just before the main COP30 summit which this year will focus on speeding up the implementation of the Paris Agreement. This was adopted in 2015 and aims to tackle climate change by limiting global warming.

The COP30 Summit runs from 10 to 21 November and will see a wide range of debates taking place around new ‘national action plans’ around limiting global warming.
