COP30 Buildings and Cooling Pavilion
Creating Resilient Communities with Sustainable Cooling, Better Buildings, and Smarter Materials
10–21 November 2025 | Belém, Brazil (Blue Zone)
At the 2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30), the UNEP Cool Coalition and the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC) are co-hosting the Buildings and Cooling Pavilion, a unified platform in the Blue Zone to spotlight the essential role of cooling and buildings in delivering on climate goals.
The Pavilion will bring together the full cooling and built environment value chain, serving as:
- a convening space for policymakers, businesses, and practitioners;
- a showcase of cutting-edge solutions and scalable implementation; and
- a hub for cross-sector collaboration, innovation, and ambition.
