Belém is the capital of the Brazilian state of Pará (to the north), located in Marajó Bay, a few kilometers from the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean, in the northeastern region of the Amazon jungle.
According to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Brazil, Mauro Vieira, the United Nations made the decision to hold the meeting in that city on May 18.
Brazil was chosen to host the COP in 2019, but the authorities withdrew after the election of far-right Jair Bolsonaro (2019-2022), a climate change skeptic accused of dismantling environmental policies.
Lula took up his third term as Brazil’s leader in January and pledged to strengthen mechanisms to protect the environment and eradicate illegal deforestation in the Amazon by 2030.
