COP30 takes place in his hometown of Belém, in Pará. The organization of the UN climate conference, in 2025, will force changes in the city at the mouth of the Amazon. What is being thought of to prepare Bethlehem to welcome so many people?
Infrastructure works have already started. The Parque da Cidade, a central park that used to be the airport for smaller planes, will be transformed and will be where most of the discussions will take place during COP30. The port is also working hard to receive the transatlantic ships that will serve to meet much of the demand for the inn, as happened in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt. Apart from that, the state government is already in talks with the BNDES [Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Económico e Social] to create an investment line in the hotel industry. We believe that with the efforts of the federal government, which has already started to release funds for the construction of works, which has been done through my ministry, progress will also be made in terms of creating mobility for the people, with the work on the Canal do Igarapé São Joaquim. This is one of two challenges that I understand exist in the city of Belém. It is the issue of mobility, which is already being addressed, and that of the hotel industry, with the issue of transatlantic ships, which is already under discussion, so that companies with this calling can have the infrastructure at their disposal when we reach the COP30 . But anyone who has been to Belém knows that we have the Círio de Nazaré, the largest Catholic festival in the world…
