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.
See how this is written, PM Browne so going forward anything with Hon. Pringle should read: OL Pringle.
Brazil looks so beautiful. I would love to explore some day
Proud to see our Prime Minister connecting environmental action with global collaboration.
People here worrying about vehicle gate scandal and the man in the amazon flexing lol.
It’s encouraging to see our Prime Minister engaged in serious climate diplomacy, not just giving speeches but actually exploring scientific and cultural spaces.
Proud moment for Antigua and Barbuda. Our Prime Minister continues to show that even small nations can influence global environmental action
Love to see our Prime Minister taking the time to experience the heart of the Amazon. Protecting biodiversity starts with understanding it.
Sounds like an inspiring experience. The Amazon is such an important ecosystem, and it’s good to see leaders getting a firsthand look at why it needs protection
We always talk about climate change in theory, but seeing the Amazon up close brings the message home. This kind of advocacy gives more credibility to Antigua and Barbuda’s leadership
