COP30 Presidency Launches Maloca, Opening a New Era of Global Climate Participation

The Brazilian Presidency of COP30 launched Maloca,a pioneering digital platform designed to broaden and amplify opportunities for participation in climate action. Built as a legacy of COP30, Maloca creates an immersive and inclusive space for dialogue, collaboration, and solutions, ensuring that voices from every region, especially the Global South, can help shape the outcomes of climate conferences.

The initiative underscores the Presidency’s three core priorities: strengthening multilateralism, connecting the climate regime to people’s real lives, and accelerating the implementation of the Paris Agreement. Through interactive virtual environments, governments, civil society, and communities worldwide can convene, share solutions, and participate directly in the global climate process, expanding the reach of COP30 far beyond Belém.

At the launch, COP30 President-Designate Ambassador André Corrêa do Lago announced the opening of Maloca’s registration system for virtual events at COP30. The feature enables civil society organizations to apply to host discussions, presentations, and solution-sharing sessions inside the platform, creating opportunities for diverse actors to contribute directly to the climate agenda.
