LWF delegation to highlight community experiences

COP30 will be held in Belém, Brazil, in November 2025 and is considered an “implementation COP,” marking ten years since the Paris Agreement and highlighting the urgency of advancing climate action.  

The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) underscores the climate emergency and applies a local to global and back to local approach, connecting local experiences with global climate policy and ensuring outcomes are relevant to communities.  

At COP30, the LWF will focus on inclusive participation of Indigenous Peoples, local communities, and youth, and promote evidence-based advocacy grounded in lived experience, justice, and human rights. 

Activities in collaboration with the host country church - the Evangelical Church of the Lutheran Confession in Brazil - and other partners, will focus on faith-rooted climate action.  

LWF’s delegation comprises around 50 members on-site and online—many of them youth.
