Road to COP30 Time to integrate culture and heritage perspectives into global climate agendas About the Author Darius Saviour Ankamah Youth Climate Negotiator CHN Youth Forum Co-Convener for Africa and the Arab States Contact Point for YOUNGO ACH WG Culture and Heritage in Global Climate Agendas Culture and heritage play a vital role in fulfilling the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Cultural heritage, including both tangible and intangible aspects, is deeply intertwined with the climate crisis, possessing traditional knowledge and practices that can inform climate resilience and adaptation strategies, while also being closely tied to community and socio-cultural systems that influence human behaviour and relationships with the environment. Moreover, natural heritage sites, such as UNESCO World Heritage forests, are crucial carbon sinks, storing approximately 13 billion tonnes of carbon and absorbing around 190 million tonnes of CO2 per year; however, these forests face alarming threats, having lost 3.5 million hectares between 2001 and 2020, highlighting the need to integrate cultural and natural heritage into climate action, enhance climate resilience, foster sustainable development, and support climate justice (UNESCO).
Page 2 Anticipated Climate Heritage Discussions at COP30 Discussions surrounding climate heritage have gained momentum in recent COP conferences, with significant developments leading up to COP30. At COP28 in 2023, the ‘Group of Friends of Culture-Based Climate Action’ was established and co-chaired by the United Arab Emirates and Brazil. This coalition, comprising over 30 ministers and government representatives, emphasizes integrating culture, arts, heritage, and creative industries into climate strategies. The groups formation reflects a growing recognition of culture’s role in climate action (UNESCO). Building on this, the second High-Level Ministerial Dialogue on Culture-Based Climate Action convened at COP29 in 2024. Supported by UNESCO, ministers worldwide underscored the urgency of safeguarding cultural heritage from climate impacts and leveraging it for climate resilience. The dialogue concluded with a communique advocating for intensified integration of cultural perspectives into global climate agendas (European Heritage Hub). Despite these efforts, COP29’s final conclusions di dnot include requests for UNFCCC workshops on culture and heritage issues in 2025, leading to disappointment among advocates. This outcome has shifted focus to COP30 in Belem, Brazil, where there is renewed hope for formalizing culture-based climate action within UNFCCC frameworks (Europa Nostra).
Page 3 Relevance of Belem to Cultural Heritage Belem, the capital of Para state in northern Brazil, is a gateway to the Amazon rainforest and boasts a rich cultural heritage blending indigenous, African, and Portuguese influences. The city’s historical significance as a colonial port and its vibrant traditions in music, cuisine, and festivals highlight its cultural diversity. Hosting COP30 in Belem underscores the intrinsic link between cultural heritage and environmental conservation, especially in the Amazon region. However, Belem faces challenges, including pollution, untreated sewage, and high crime rates. Preparations for COP30 involve major projects like the Parque da Cidade and new hotel developments to address infrastructure deficits. Local nonprofits are advocating for sustainable solutions, such as restoring natural riverbanks to combat flooding, reflecting the city’s commitment to harmonizing cultural preservation with environmental sustainability (AP News). COP30 is poised to be a pivotal platform for advancing culture-based climate action, with Belem’s rich cultural backdrop offering a poignant setting to highlight the synergy between cultural heritage and climate resilience (European Heritage Hub).

Supporting some incredibly ambitious and brilliant young people planning an international Earth Day event with #Youngo and @climateheritage.bsky.social is definitely carrying me through this very difficult week. 💚🌍
COY (Conference of Youth) has its sixteenth sitting later this year in Glasgow, prior to #COP26. It is organized by youth and prepares them for climate negotiations and builds their policy-making skills.#COY16 #UNFCCC #YOUNGO

You’ve heard of #COP, but have you heard of #COY16? This interview with @JanKairel Cabalona Guillermo gives us an insight into the internal workings of this youth summit.

I agree with 90%+ of what @n_thanki said at #YOUNGO spokescouncil today. But the @IYCM needs a little hope. #COP21 can be transformative.
#YOUNGO at #COP21: Remember that climate deniers are out in force. Be careful not to tweet things they can use against us!

If you're at #COY10 come to the #YOUNGO/@IYCM workshop from two this afternoon! This is especially for those going to @COP20CMP10.
#YOUNGO asks when rule changed to bar 16-17 year olds from UN conferences as @CFigueres said. @AhmadAlhendawi says he wants to know too.
@emmarenowden is blogging the Bonn Intersessional for Hot Topic. Great to see #youngo mentioned. Alphabet soup in Bonn http://bit.ly/JH9CH6
Yeah, so, being honest, I definitely miss @tekwenibackpack and the whole @ukycc delegation, @CYD_DJC and @NZYD crew. #sappy #YOUNGO #COP17
International climate talks: the only thing that could unite punk rockers, hippies, & boy scouts. Much love to #YOUNGO in these last hours.
