PM Browne Explores Amazon’s Rich Biodiversity at COP30 Exhibition in Brazil
As part of his official engagements at the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Belém, Brazil, Prime Minister Gaston Browne visited the renowned Museu Emílio Goeldi, one of the country’s oldest and most prestigious research and cultural institutions.
The museum, transformed for COP30 into a living showcase of the Amazon rainforest’s biodiversity, offers delegates an immersive look at more than 3,000 species of plants and animals; many of them rare, endangered, or found nowhere else on Earth.
Prime Minister Browne toured several exhibits highlighting the delicate balance of the Amazon’s ecosystem and the urgent global need to protect tropical forests. The displays emphasized how biodiversity preservation is directly linked to climate stability, a message that strongly aligns with Browne’s long-standing climate advocacy.
His visit underscored Antigua and Barbuda’s unwavering commitment to environmental protection and sustainable development. As a leader among Small Island Developing States (SIDS), Browne continues to champion the call for stronger global action to safeguard both island nations and the planet’s critical natural habitats from the accelerating impacts of climate change.
