Webinar Series Driving
the COP30 Buildings and Cooling Agenda
The Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC) and the UNEP Cool Coalition are launching a new webinar series to mobilize sponsors, partners, and allies around one of the most solution-driven spaces at the 2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30): the Buildings and Cooling Pavilion.
Hosted in the Blue Zone area in Belém, Brazil from 10 to 21 November 2025, the Pavilion will spotlight how better buildings, sustainable cooling, and smarter materials can help create more resilient, equitable, and climate-aligned communities, especially in the context of an increasingly warming planet.
This five-part webinar series, running from June through November, offers an opportunity to stay informed, contribute directly to Pavilion planning, and ensure partner voices are reflected in the final programme. Each session lasts 40 minutes and offers targeted updates and practical input opportunities.
