In Beijing, the workshop “Promoting China-Brazil Scientific Research on Climate & Nature,” held on June 16, brought together Brazilian and Chinese NGOs to strengthen cooperation in researching climate solutions in both countries. More than 25 Chinese organizations attended the workshop, promoted by BellaTerra do Brasil in partnership with WWF China.

The alignment of Brazilian and Chinese institutions with a view to COP30 was highlighted at the workshop, which raised opportunities for joint studies. Among the topics of interest are agriculture, deforestation, food systems, production chains, deforestation, and restoration.

“A timely and enriching exchange,” said one participant from the Chinese side. “It reflected the growing momentum of interpersonal collaboration between China and Brazil on climate and nature. It was also encouraging to see an open and solution-oriented dialogue between Chinese and Brazilian organizations with complementary strengths.”
