The Global Policy Dialogue 2026 concluded this Tuesday (26) in Salvador, bringing together two days of international discussions on the future of global climate governance after COP30. Organized by Plataforma CIPÓ, the event gathered representatives from more than 20 countries, members of the COP30 Presidency, Brazilian authorities, international organizations, academia, and civil society to discuss the challenges of climate implementation and the future of multilateralism.
Under the theme “From Commitment to Implementation: The Legacy of COP30 and Pathways to Strengthening Global Climate Governance,” the event promoted discussions on climate finance, a just ecological transition, adaptation, trade and climate, combating deforestation, and the institutional mechanisms created following COP30. Throughout the program, participants also debated strategies to accelerate the implementation of climate agreements and strengthen international cooperation in the face of the climate crisis.
The meeting featured the participation of COP30 President Ambassador André Corrêa do Lago; federal congresswoman and former Minister of Indigenous Peoples Sonia Guajajara; representatives from the countries that will host the next climate conferences — Australia and Türkiye, responsible for COP31, and Ethiopia, host of COP32 — as well as representatives from Brazil’s Ministry of Finance, the Northeast Consortium, multilateral organizations, and civil society leaders.
Over the two days, the program included panels, strategic meetings, and working groups focused on implementing COP30 decisions and defining priorities for upcoming climate conferences. Discussions also addressed the so-called “roadmaps” for phasing out fossil fuels, combating deforestation, and developing public policies aimed at a just and inclusive ecological transition.
The debates reinforced the need to expand climate finance mechanisms, strengthen implementation capacity in Global South countries, and create new forms of coordination among governments, civil society, and international organizations to accelerate climate action in the coming years.
The event was organized by Plataforma CIPÓ in partnership with the Government of Bahia, the Northeast Consortium, Instituto Clima e Sociedade (iCS), the Climate Emergency Collaboration Group, the Global Challenges Foundation, the French Embassy in Brazil, the Heinrich Böll Foundation, and the Global Governance Innovation Network.

A special bulletin and the full report containing the official summary of discussions and key outcomes debated during the event will also be released soon.
