Wildfire Action Accelerator Pledge: Launch at COP30
Official launch of the Wildfire Action Accelerator Pledge
During COP30, our delegation will attend the official launch of the Wildfire Action Accelerator Pledge, hosted by the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) under the leadership of Monica Vidal.
Climate-driven wildfires are increasing in scale and intensity, endangering communities, biodiversity, and the global climate. The Wildfire Action Accelerator, led by EDF and civil society partners, is calling for a worldwide shift toward prevention, resilience, and coordinated action. It supports Brazil’s Call to Action on Integrated Fire Management and Wildfire Resilience and strengthens ongoing global efforts on wildfire resilience.
Our delegation will be present to actively contribute to the discussion. Selvyn Perez, PIPC Alternate Representative for Central America and the Caribbean, and Tabea Casique Coronado, PIPC Alternate Representative for South America, will participate as panelists, joining forest countries, Indigenous Peoples, Afro-descendant Peoples, and partners working to embed wildfire resilience in climate and biodiversity agendas at COP30.
