  • The COP30 session in Brazil will focus on transitioning remote Amazon communities to renewable energy, aligning with IRENA’s Global Initiative on Transitioning Remote Communities and GEAPP’s Universal Access Coalition for Latin America and the Caribbean. It will examine effective approaches for deploying decentralized renewable energy (DRE) systems to power healthcare, education, and livelihoods while supporting local well-being and ecosystem preservation. Featuring speakers from Canada, development partners, and Amazon communities, the session will highlight strategies for expanding energy access, decarbonization, and a just transition in off-grid areas.
