Facing the interconnected crises of our time, the ‘Weavers of the Future’ project launches an appeal to cultural, social, and environmental actors. We aim to activate living culture and heritage as powerful forces for climate justice, bioregional regeneration, and community empowerment — going beyond preservation to co-create regenerative futures aligned with the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

In November 2025, Belém — at the heart of the Amazon — will host COP30. the ‘Weavers of the Future’ initiative will culminate in three key actions: an international digital exhibition of good practices, the “EcoLivre” global meeting, and the Belém Agreement for a Regenerative Era — a collective cultural commitment to be presented to governments at COP30. This is not just an event, but an invitation to connect local experiences with a global perspective and to give a voice to the crucial role of culture in the climate debate.
