COP30 - 16/11/2025

I visited the Sustainable Honey Project in the Amazon rainforest. This important project protects native bee species and tropical biodiversity, prevents deforestation, and ensures sustainability at the heart of honey production.

I also saw how the Dona Nena Chocolate Factory is committed to sustainability. By using forest friendly methods, they ensure that their production practices champion sustainability, create jobs, and protect biodiversity.

By collaborating with companies like this, the UK supports business that is not just conscious of nature and the climate, but protects it.

Mary Creagh at COP30

From 15 to 21 of November, Mary Creagh MP, will be in Belem in Brazil, representing the UK as a government minister at the COP30.*

COP30 is focused on three main goals - securing clean energy, protecting nature, and safeguarding our future. 197 countries will meet in the Amazon rainforest to confront a shared issue - the climate and nature crisis.

One of the main goals of COP30 is forge a path to reducing emissions, aimed at keeping global temperature rises below 1.5 degrees. Other goals are to accelerate the global transition to clean energy and reverse the shocking global loss of nature.

As Minister for Nature, Mary Creagh MP will ensure that nature is prioritised alongside climate change, as efforts to tackle these problems cannot be done in isolation.

She will make announcements on climate and nature commitments, collaborative partnerships with other nations, and more. You can follow these on video links live through the UK Pavillion LINK
