I've made a spreadsheet with the event schedules for COP30 pavilions, including the UK 🇬🇧 Japan 🇯🇵 Indonesia 🇮🇩 Australia 🇦🇺 and China 🇨🇳
The UNFCCC has a schedule list, but hardly any of the major pavilions are on there.
I'll update the list as I collect more ⬇️

It's that time of year again – I'm in Belém for COP30 🐸🌴🥵
As usual I'm interested in all things climate finance. I will also be following the "action agenda", as well as loss and damage discussions.
The Carbon Brief team has an office in the media centre. Come and say hello if you're about!
