What we achieved

The project NBCities seeked to promote biodiversity conservation and climate action agendas in local policies in the city of Belém, located in the Amazon Rainforest and one of the most important capital cities of Brazil, nominated to host the world’s Climate Conference, COP30 in 2025. NBCitie aligned Belém with climate and biodiversity compliance standards by leveraging innovative and participatory tools, mapping financing mechanisms, and establishing a clear implementation pathway that complements existing initiatives. During the first semester of 2024, Belém showcased the project activities at ICLEI National Meeting in the city, as well as during the ICLEI World Congress in São Paulo. In its final semester, it reached the completion of the Ecosystem Services Diagnosis, in parallel with the Climate Risk and Vulnerability Analysis. A city-to-city cooperation cycle between Belém, Bucaramanga (Colombia) and Área Metropolitana de Bucaramanga (Colombia) to discuss urban panification as well as the bankable project mentoring were also conducted.
