Belém: Discover the city hosting COP30

During the COP30 program in Belém, historian Michel Pinho will give a free public lecture about the city, starting at the Forte do Presépio (Fort of the Nativity).

Named Belém in 1616, the city that will host the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) from November 10 to 21 was once called Mairi.

It was originally the territory of the Tupinambá people, guardians of knowledge capable of addressing the global challenges that will bring world leaders together today in search of solutions.

This region of the Amazon, contrary to what has long been believed, has been densely populated for 11,000 years.

According to historian Michel Pinho, researchers such as archaeologist Marcos Magalhães, from the Emílio Goeldi Museum, have documented intense occupation along the rivers, lakes, and streams.

Author's summary: Belém hosts COP30 conference.
