Panels, workshops, film screenings, and other activities make up the program at the venue. 

The Center for Climate Crime Analysis (CCCA) is organizing the CCCA Climate Hub in Belém during the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30). The Hub serves as a space for gathering and collective action, featuring a full and dynamic program from November 11 to 20 (full schedule below). 

The venue highlights key themes structured around four main areas: environmental protection, with a focus on the Amazon and the Cerrado biomes; the empowerment of Indigenous peoples and traditional communities as pillars of territorial defense; accountability for economic sectors such as extractive industries and agribusiness; and the strengthening of socio-environmental governance. 

These dimensions are interconnected through transnational strategies for the protection of territories and rights — such as the use of the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and other international due diligence mechanisms. Through a regional perspective on the climate crisis, the Hub encompasses efforts to combat deforestation not only in Brazil, but also in Colombia and Peru, and to reduce methane emissions. 

Over the course of two weeks, the CCCA Climate Hub will host a series of events focused on these key issues, bringing together partners, institutions, movements, civil society organizations, researchers, and allies from different regions around the world.

Some of the events will require prior registration or will be by invitation only. It is recommended to check the full program for details before visiting the venue. 

A Latin American home 

Leonardo Godoy, Deputy Director of CCCA’s Brazil Program and coordinator of the CCCA Climate Hub, emphasizes that despite the diversity of the partners participating in the Hub’s program, the space is, above all, Latin American. 

“It’s a program created by Latin Americans and for Latin Americans, involving a range of allies who share our values and want to join collective efforts of global significance — such as forest conservation, protection of the Cerrado, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and strengthening of local communities,” explains Godoy. 

With offices in Brazil and the Netherlands, the CCCA is active in different regions of Latin America through two programs: the Brazil Program and the ColPer Program, which operates in Colombia and Peru. For the Hub, the Brazil Program has welcomed and coordinated actions with colleagues from these neighboring countries, expanding the participation of Latin American partners and reinforcing the regional character of the space. 

Data and legal analysis as a key differentiator 

The CCCA leverages the power of law and data science to combat climate change. This distinctive approach is reflected in the CCCA Climate Hub’s program, which includes thematic panels, film screenings, and environmental investigation workshops — all aimed at strengthening local communities. 

A partner of the CCCA and organizer of the investigative methods workshop on socio-environmental crimes, Rafael Pieroni, Latin America Team Leader at Earthsight, highlights the importance of the space: “By focusing on issues related to Latin America, the CCCA Climate Hub goes beyond discussing the Amazon from an exclusively Brazilian perspective.” 

Pieroni adds: “The CCCA Climate Hub brings together perspectives from other countries that share one of the world’s largest biomes, while also creating space for discussions about other vital ecosystems, such as the Cerrado and the Paraguayan Chaco.” 

The workshop offered by Earthsight covers practical tools for research and open data collection, guiding participants in building evidence for advocacy and litigation. 

The program also includes the sharing of case studies and the presentation of investigations that may inspire similar actions and legal strategies to ensure compliance with environmental laws in Brazil and around the world. 

CCCA’s activities during COP30 will be centered at the CCCA Climate Hub, located in the Cidade Velha neighborhood (see address below the full program). Additional events are also planned at the COP Blue Zone, the Green Zone, the Amazon Climate Hub, the Regional Labor Court, and other partner venues. 

Stay tuned for the program announcements and plan your visit.
