As the state of Pará hosts the United Nations Climate Change Conference COP30 in Belém, Hub Culture with Hedera, alongside Voice of the Oceans, Casa Dourada with Psica and World Climate Foundation, and Celeste Restaurant bring together a new social Climate Campus, an example of networked collaboration and mutual ecosystem development.

The Hub Culture Climate Campus at Belém centers on Hub Floresta, the main point for Hub Culture activation, with networking and coworking space, social interviews & podcast opportunities, and a range of events and programming through 20 November.

Major Themes

Dream New Dreams: Belém is a unique host for COP30, perched at the edge of the Amazon ecosystem and the South American continent. The city represents a study of contrasts, upending old notions of 'the Amazon' - as an urban center that is home to over 2 million people.

Here, rethinking the relationship of nature to the urban environment is of utmost importance. How can urban areas become symbiotic with nature, and restore and reverse nature and biodiversity loss? How can cities mitigate the worst affects of climate change, growing impacts of urban heat islands and the relentless production of waste, plastic pollution and water degradation? All of this requires a technical and holistic approach to the Commons, and the elevation of the commons to the highest of everyone's priorities. Everywhere we look in the Amazon region, it is also first people's who have developed symbiotic support relationships with nature over thousands of years. 

The Hub Floresta and Climate Campus will host discussions and activations centered on:

Regenerative technolgies and finance 

Amazon preservation and global forest governance

Indigenous leadership and ancestral knowledge

Climate finance for nature-based solutions

Ocean blue economy and blue natural economy solutions

Biodiversity, food systems, and cultural resilience

AI, data, and policy intersections for ecological intelligence

Across the campus at Casa Voz dos Oceanos, a film screening lounge, art exhibitions on the Ocean, talks and panels, and the Ocean Hub anchor the ocean conversation for the city. Casa Dourada with Psica and the World Climate Foundation also features daily talks, panels and evening hosting events with partners. 

Along the Dream New Dreams iniative, the Ocean Climate Fund will be announcing its first investment in the ocean sector, and Hub Culture's Zeke AI initaitive will showcase new work on nature based intelligence and urban design. At the forefront of this is the introducion of the new Hub Culture BioZones concept, imagining urban infrastructure designed around natural restoration. The BioZones are the next extension of the Icon regenerative construction systems in development with the community.
