Talking about green industry at the Spain Pavilion at COP30 is especially relevant because the Latin American region is at a decisive moment: accelerating investments in this area is the only way to meet the climate change goals set out in the NDCs. COP30, organized by the Government of Brazil under the theme of implementing the agreements, precisely focuses on how to translate commitments into concrete actions. In this context, our event focuses on analyzing the barriers that hinder the implementation of the NDCs and on bringing to the table solutions that emerge from multi-stakeholder dialogue—the most effective tool to overcome deadlocks, build consensus, and create space for cross-sector collaboration.

Objectives

Emphasize the role of the green industry as a strategic bridge between Europe and Latin America.

Showcase how this collaboration is essential for the effective implementation of the NDCs.

Promote the strengthening of value chains that enable a just and competitive green transition.

Highlight barriers and opportunities faced by the region when talking about green industry.
