Lula has formally announced 🇧🇷's bid to host #COP30 in 2025 in the Amazonian city of Belém. Beyond helping to focus global attention on the Amazon, hosting a COP wld be a useful way to push 🇧🇷's traditionally conservative foreign ministry to support Lula's climate & green agenda.
Aspiring COP presidents send letters to the UNFCCC & then the UN regional group (ie GRULAC) to discuss before reaching a decision via consensus. These talks can be protracted. In this case, the process cld be smooth as 🇧🇷 might have support from Chile, Col., Mex, among others.
