The Hub Culture Climate Campus Belém has hosted numerous conversations during COP30, covering oceans, forests, carbon, technology, AI, watersheds, and much more. Along the sidelines deal flow and commitments have been emerging. 

From this comes the emergence of a new three year initiative from Hub Culture: Hub Amazônia, a collective container for Belém after COP30.

This gathering is part press conference, part open mic to share progress on initiatives, announce new collaborations, and to chart the way forward with community stakeholders. 

Hosted by SOA Brazil, Clubo de Remo, Hub Culture, Ocean Climate Fund and others. 

Starts: 11:00am Tuesday 18th Nov '25

The Amazon watershed is a complex and vast ecosystem that has reached a tipping point. The 'flying rivers' of moisture generated by the forest and the ribbon of waterways that flow through the region have impacts far beyond the Amazon itself, regulating moisture and climate across North America and beyond.

As the Amazon is destroyed through deforestation, tipping points are increasing the feedback loops - dieback, fire and more are affecting these hydrological cycles, and present enormous risks for food production, drought and quality of life.

Learn about the hydrological cycle, the Amazon watershed, and how watersheds worldwide are at risk, what we can do about the issue, and what's possible. Everyone needs fresh water, and the world must save its water systems.

This workshop and conversation is hosted with a constellation of fresh water oriented NGOs.

Pai Nani (also known as Nani Kateyuve) of the Yawanawá tribe. Pai Nani (Nani Kateyuve) is a respected spiritual elder of the Yawanawá people, and serves as the spiritual leader of the village of Yawarani in the Amazon region of Acre, Brazil. He is the son of Antonio Luis, a prominent leader of the tribe.  He was initiated into Yawanawá spirituality by his ancestors and by his father-in-law, Pajé Yawaraní, who lived to 106 years old, and today is considered one of the keepers of wisdom, language and ancient knowledge.

This live Chronicles episode will include Pai Nani's demands to COP30 leadership for indigenous inclusion, and points of ancient wisdom passed through his lineage with the Yawanawa.

At the Yale Center for Business and Environent, Peter Boyd frames this leadership course around a framework he calls “Connected Leadership”, designed to move beyond traditional hierarchical leadership models and emphasise connection — connection to purpose, to people/teams, and to larger systems. This live Chronicles interview will cover the key basics of this technique for a live audience.

Here are the main structural components and principles:

1. Four “P”s: Purpose • Priorities • Potential • Progress

A central organising idea is the set of four “P”s: Purpose, Priorities, Potential, Progress. These are meant to be connected and aligned at the individual, team and system level. 

Purpose: discovering and clarifying what matters most to you or your organisation. 

Priorities: what you will pay attention to & focus on given that purpose. 

Potential: visualising what success or impact could look like. 

Progress: holding yourself accountable, tracking movement toward that potential. 

2. Multi-level scaffold: Self → Team → System

The course is structured so you start at the individual (‘self’) level, then move to how you operate in and lead teams, and finally how you engage with broader systems (organisations, institutions, societies). 

At the Self level: reflect on your own purpose, strengths, time-use, energy, priorities. 

At the Team level: apply similar ideas to how a team defines its mission, values, aligns around purpose, priorities, potential, progress.

At the System level: shift to system-thinking, identify a systemic challenge and deploy leadership for change at that level. 

3. Connectedness and systems thinking

The concept emphasises being “connected” — to your purpose, your team, the systems you inhabit and/or aim to change. 

Systems thinking is a key part of the latter modules: understanding that leadership isn’t only about direct control, but about influencing interconnected systems, stakeholders, feedback loops.

Women are on the frontlines of climate impacts, often becoming innovators out of necessity, driven by the pressures they face, the needs of their communities and their own creativity. 

In this session, we will explore actions and innovations ocean women are leading across coastal and marine territories, as well as the barriers they encounter in accessing the support, financial and otherwise, needed to scale their work, strengthen their solutions and contribute more effectively to climate resilience. 

The discussion will highlight the role of data and monitoring for leveraging ocean and climate action.
