- Story Text:The northern Brazilian city of Belem will host a summit of Amazon nations on August 8 and 9, aimed at finding ways to prevent further degradation of the Amazon rainforest.
Situated at the mouth of the Amazon River, Belem is the capital of Para state, with a population of 2.1 million, and the main entry point for the Amazon.
The Amazon Summit 2023 will bring together the leaders from the eight countries of the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization (ACTO) to act together to preserve the forest and promote sustainable development in a region threatened by illegal loggers and gold miners, animal smugglers, and drug traffickers.
Leaders from Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela are expected to attend.
Belem will also host COP30, the international climate meeting, in November 2025.
