BELÉM, BRAZIL (By COP30, 22.Nov.2025, Words: 200) — The government of Brazil, together with CAIXA, carried out the compensation of 130,000 tonnes of CO₂ generated by the activities of the Thirtieth Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP30), held in Belém, Pará.
The compensation was recognized by the United Nations through the Voluntary Cancellation Certificate, issued on 12 Nov. 2025.
For the COP30 Extraordinary Secretary, Valter Correia, the neutralization of emissions has been a central commitment of the Brazilian government since the beginning of the event’s preparation. “The compensation of more than 130 thousand tonnes of CO₂, with United Nations international certification, demonstrates that Brazil is delivering a conference that meets the urgency of the climate crisis and is aligned with global best practices. It is the COP of the Amazon, of Brazil, and of concrete action,” he stated.
The certificate confirms the voluntary cancellation of 130,000 carbon credits (CERs – Certified Emission Reductions) from the project “CDM Project 6573: Caixa Econômica Federal Solid Waste Management and Carbon Finance Project,” registered under the United Nations Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). Each credit corresponds to one tonne of CO₂ equivalent removed from or prevented from entering the atmosphere.
