Canada Pavilion at COP30
Join us at the Canada pavilion at the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). COP30 will be taking place in Belém, Brazil, from November 10-21, 2025.
The Canada pavilion at COP provides a central networking hub for partners and stakeholders to showcase Canadian climate leadership and innovation – offering a platform for all levels of government, Indigenous Peoples, civil society, private sector, labour, and youth to share their perspectives, foster new partnerships and collaboration, and promote Canada’s climate action.
The Canada pavilion brings together key partners and stakeholders from Canada and around the world to help advance global action on climate change, address biodiversity loss and plastic pollution, and promote ambition, implementation, and partnership.
