COP30 Belém — Exhibition Stand & Pavilion Guide for Climate Events

The 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) was held in Belém, Brazil, from November 10–21, 2025, at the Hangar Convention and Fair Centre of the Amazon. It was the first COP held in South America since 2014 and attracted unprecedented global attention due to its location at the gateway to the Amazon rainforest.

Venue Overview

The Hangar Convention Centre in Belém served as the primary venue, with exhibition spaces divided between:

•Blue Zone — The official UN-managed area for negotiations, national delegations, and accredited organizations. National pavilions, UN agency pavilions, and high-level policy spaces were located here.
•Green Zone — The public-facing area hosting civil society organizations, private sector exhibitors, innovation showcases, and cultural programming. This is where most commercial exhibition stands were located.

Exhibition Options at COP Events

COP conferences offer several types of exhibition participation:

1.National Pavilions — Countries showcase their climate commitments, trade opportunities, and cultural identity through large-scale pavilion builds. These often require 100-500+ sqm and serve as diplomatic hubs.

1.Corporate Pavilions — Major companies in energy, technology, finance, and sustainability sectors build custom stands to demonstrate their climate solutions.

1.Standardized Booths — Bronze, Silver, and Gold tier options offered by organizers with pre-set structures and furniture packages.

1.Customized Green Zone Stands — Creative, bespoke designs for organizations wanting maximum impact and brand differentiation.

Key Considerations for COP Exhibition Stands

Sustainability Requirements COP events have the strictest sustainability requirements of any exhibition worldwide: - Modular, reusable structures are strongly preferred over single-use builds - Recycled and recyclable materials (FSC-certified wood, recycled aluminum, PVC-free fabrics) - LED lighting and energy-efficient electronics - Lightweight, flat-pack designs to minimize transport emissions

Timeline and Logistics - Start planning 6-12 months before the event - Green Zone applications typically require an Expression of Interest submission - Build schedules at COP events are extremely compressed (often 3-5 days) - Local production partners are essential for managing logistics in remote locations

Design Trends at COP30 - Biophilic design elements (living plants, natural materials) - Interactive digital experiences (touchscreens, AR/VR) - Transparent sustainability metrics displayed on the stand itself - Bold minimalism with high-contrast branding
