COP30 Accessibility
COP30 will be held in Belém, in the heart of the Amazon — a vibrant, diverse region that inspires the world with its natural, cultural, and human richness. The Amazon is plural, and so is COP30.
We believe that caring for the planet also means caring for people. That is why accessibility is a pivotal aspect of creating a genuinely sustainable event — one that welcomes and values all individuals, regardless of their background, beliefs, or manner of expression.
The diversity that drives discussions on sustainability and the SDGs – Sustainable Development Goals is also reflected in how we plan each participant’s experience. Our commitment is to ensure that everyone, without exception, can fully participate in the dialogues and experiences that will make COP30 a historic milestone for our planet.
In order to welcome you better and provide an inclusive and comfortable experience, we would love to learn more about your specific accessibility needs.

Belém is preparing to welcome the world with accessible and efficient public transportation.
All city buses are equipped with lifts and adapted for use by people with disabilities or reduced mobility.
For COP30, there will be 250 buses dedicated to exclusive event routes, including 100 brand-new vehicles entering service specifically for the conference.
Routes were planned based on the accommodation map, ensuring practical and safe travel near the main hotel network.
Official COP30 buses will drop participants 300 meters from the event entrances, and each bus will have a trained volunteer in addition to the driver.
There will be 108 stops, covering the route from the airport to the event venues, including the Outeiro region, where cruise ships will be docked.
For those using ride-hailing apps or taxis, boarding and drop-off points will be 700 meters from the main entrance.
Whenever possible, we encourage the use of public transportation.
