Belém, Brasil
ITALY AT COP30
Italy will play a leading role at COP30 with an ambitious and identity-defining project designed to promote national excellence in the fields of sustainability, innovation and competitiveness.
Thanks to the collective participation of institutions, universities, research centres, civil society organisations, young people and businesses, the Italian Pavilion at COP30 is a platform for innovation, knowledge and cooperation.
Designed to highlight Italy's leading role in sustainability and climate action, the Pavilion will offer a programme of events and meetings that bring together science, policy and action, the world of manufacturing and youth participation, promoting open dialogue between different generations and fields of expertise.
For the first time, the experience will be enriched by an interactive and immersive installation that will guide visitors on a journey of discovery through projects, initiatives and technologies towards a sustainable future. In partnership with AquaPraça, a floating cultural plaza that flows with the tides, the Pavilion will invite visitors to reflect on the deep connection between humans and water, a symbol of connection, adaptability and resilience when faced with climate change.
A floating plaza designed by CRA - Carlo Ratti Associati and Höweler + Yoon, the Italian Pavilion at COP30, ‘AquaPraça’ combines design, innovation and a global coalition towards sustainable climate adaptation. AquaPraça was made possible through a unique partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security and the COP30 Presidency, in collaboration with the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation, CIHEAM Bari and the World Bank Group's Connect4Climate programme, and with the support of BF International - a company of the BF S.p.A. Group (as AquaPraça's Naming Partner for COP30), Bloomberg Philanthropies, ENEL and Italy's national state-owned railway holding company, Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane.
AquaPraça will be anchored in Belém Bay for the duration of COP30. It will be a testament to Italian design excellence, commitment to sustainability and climate action and, last but not least, an expression of Italy's spirit of collaboration and sharing. At the conclusion of COP30, the installation will be donated to the Brazilian government as a permanent cultural centre, representing Italy's legacy and symbolising a lasting commitment to a sustainable future.
