The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) works in approximately 170 countries and territories, helping to achieve the eradication of poverty and the reduction of inequality and exclusion. The program helps countries to developing policies, leadership skills, partnership skills, institutional capacities, and to building resilience to sustainable development results.

UNDP implements several projects in different areas, offering its partners technical, operational and management assistance through access to methodologies, specialized knowledge, specialized advice and a wide international network of technical cooperation.

To contribute to human development, poverty reduction and the country's growth in priority areas, UNDP Brazil has a constant mission to align its services with the needs of a dynamic, multifaceted and diverse country. The projects are carried out in partnership with the Brazilian government, international financial institutions, the private sector and civil society.

The Sustainable Environmental Development unit works in an integrated manner with other teams of the United Nations Development Programme – UNDP Brazil, in order to strengthen the project portfolio through technical and political support for the preparation, implementation and supervision of projects related to biodiversity, climate change, sustainable production, management of hazardous chemicals and protection of the ozone layer, etc.

With the aim of strengthening Brazil's capacity to preside over COP30, the “COP30 in Brazil: Structured Presidency and Reinforced Delegation” was developed. The project will mobilize partnerships and social participation to generate technical, logistical and substantive subsidies and inputs not only for the presidency of COP30 from 2024 to 2026, but also for the Brazilian negotiating delegation at COPs 29, 30 and 31, intersessional meetings and pre-COPs.

UNDP will work together with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE) to define and implement priority activities, aiming to expand the country's capabilities to participate in the negotiations and presidency of COP30. The UN Volunteer will support the work of project’s communication team.
