On the occasion of the Amazon Week, Wetlands International Europe, Environmental Justice Foundation, SOS Pantanal and Chalana Esperança are pleased to invite you to the event “Road to Belem: Shaping the Future of Wetlands In the Climate Agenda”, hosted by MEP Annalisa Corrado, S&D Group at the European Parliament on 24^th September, from 4.30 pm to 6pm, followed by a reception. 

This event focuses on the EU’s role in protecting vital wetlands, with a special focus on the Pantanal, looking at how safeguarding these crucial ecosystems aligns with the global climate agenda as we prepare for COP30 in Belém, Brazil. High-level speakers will join us for a Q&A with MEPs.

At a time when these critical biomes need urgent protection, guests will have the opportunity to learn about these precious ecosystems and how to protect them for future generations through a dedicated hearing with Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), followed by a photo exhibition and networking reception. will bring together MEPs to emphasise the critical role of wetlands in combating global heating, ahead of COP30 in Belém, Brazil, in November 2025. 

This event aims to galvanise support for, and enhance understanding of the potential of Wetland Partnerships -- international agreements in which the EU would support third countries to reverse wetland degradation, promote restoration and sustainable management, and enhance climate and biodiversity protection. There will be a particular focus on the Pantanal in Brazil - the world’s largest tropical wetland - and the need for the EU and Brazil to collaborate to conserve and sustainably manage this biome for the prosperity of the communities, including indigenous and traditional communities, that inhabit this globally significant wetland.

The event is in person and will be in English- Portuguese, with interpretation from Portuguese to English and vice-versa.

The room has a limited capacity of 50 seats. For the agenda and to reserve your seat, please
