Join us for a fireside chat with Ambassador Reinaldo Salgado, Consul General of Brazil in Chicago, and Deputy Consul General Viviane Sabbag, in conversation with Becca Ward, Chief of Staff for the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Growth. Together, they will explore the challenges of turning global climate commitments into action and how Brazil’s leadership as host of COP30 could shape future outcomes on financing, collaboration, and effective climate policy.
