Nigeria and Brazil have expanded their collaboration on climate action at COP30, concentrating on sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, and efforts to curb black carbon emissions.
The update was shared by Mr. Marcello Brito, Executive Secretary of the Amazon States Consortium, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on the sidelines of the conference,as seen on Nairametrics.
Brito noted that both countries are committed to global strategies aimed at reducing black carbon, a key element in climate mitigation.
“Nigeria and Brazil are collaborating on climate change remedies primarily through the Green Imperative Project (GIP) for sustainable agriculture, and by working together on renewable energy transition and climate finance mobilisation,” he said.
The partnership is grounded in South-South cooperation through the Brazil-Nigeria Strategic Dialogue Mechanism, which supports the exchange of ideas, technology, and policy alignment within international climate frameworks, particularly the Paris Agreement.
“These efforts are part of a broader strategic partnership aimed at fostering sustainable development and inclusive growth between the two Global South nations,” Brito added.

Brito also revealed that the Brazilian Amazon Interstate Consortium (CAL) is deepening its cooperation with Chinese institutions to advance scientific, environmental, and economic collaboration.
The Brazil–China initiative will pursue joint solutions in energy, agriculture, biodiversity, and ecological transition, with a strong focus on innovation and long-term sustainability.
“The cooperation will focus on forests and infrastructure, air quality and green cities, energy transition, and agricultural innovation with artificial intelligence and regenerative practices,” he explained.
“It will also centre on the urgency of expanding joint investments in conservation, bioeconomy, science, and technology, with a focus on reducing deforestation and enhancing the environmental and cultural assets of the Amazon.”
As part of COP30’s legacy, a bilateral technical document will be released, outlining shared recommendations and successful experiences between Brazil and China.
The publication aims to strengthen cooperation between the Legal Amazon Consortium and Chinese institutions through a unified agenda centred on sustainability, innovation, and prosperity.
“This will consolidate partnership between Legal Amazon Consortium and Chinese institutions around a common agenda of sustainability, innovation, and shared prosperity,” Brito concluded.
