With less than two weeks to go before COP30, this major political event, organized as part of the Climate Dialogues, will bring together representatives from the federal, provincial, municipal, and Indigenous levels of government. Together, they will discuss the levers to be mobilized, the obstacles to be overcome, and the commitments to be strengthened.
This panel aims to create a space for open, cross-sector dialogue between government bodies and civil society. The goal is to rethink the collaborations needed for a just, ambitious transition that respects all living things. By bringing together institutional, community, and citizen perspectives, the discussion will highlight the shared responsibility of transforming climate commitments into concrete and sustainable actions for ecosystems and communities.
At the opening of this meeting, CECI, a partner of Dialogues for Climate, will present the exhibition Les matriarches de la forêt (The Matriarchs of the Forest), a project that celebrates the elder women of the indigenous peoples of Chiquitanía, Bolivia. Guardians of the forests, memory, and cultures, they pass on ancestral knowledge that teaches how to live in harmony with nature.
By bringing together political discourse and community wisdom, this evening event invites participants to forge alliances for a renewed and shared climate ambition.
