Transformative Step
" Maloca is a transformative step toward engaging millions of people virtually throughout the COP30 Presidency. At UNDP, we are pleased to partner with Brazil to foster collaboration, innovation, and knowledge sharing toward Belém and beyond. Maloca is not just a platform—it amplifies voices and solutions to change the world for the better," said Marcos Neto, UN Deputy Secretary-General and Director of UNDP's Office of Policy and Programme Support, during the Maloca at Climate Week in New York on September 26.
The event was also attended by the President of COP30, Ambassador André Corrêa do Lago. " Maloca helps us ensure that this COP is as inclusive as possible and that it reaches future generations. We need to renew our trust in multilateralism, in the United Nations, and in the conviction that working together is much better—and the only solution to address climate change," he declared.
COP30 CEO Ana Toni, also present at the launch, highlighted the platform's potential use beyond the Belém summit: "The goal with Maloca is to expand accessibility for those unable to attend and create a space for the debates we need to hold. Maloca will be the place where we can discuss many of these topics not only during the COP, but throughout the year—in a true spirit of community outreach, enabling everyone to participate, wherever they are."
Maloca is part of Route to Belém, a UNDP initiative in Brazil in partnership with the Secretariat of Climate, Environment and Energy (Seclima) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Any institution around the world with access to good internet can bring COP30 so people can participate without leaving their community, school or university, their rural union, their village or neighborhood association... Maloca is an opportunity to bring Belém to the world," says José Miguez, technical coordinator of Route to Belém, who has participated in the scientific meetings of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) since 1994, having been part of the team recognized with the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.
