COPCAS 2025 - COP30
COP Climate Action Studio 2025 will take place during COP30 between the 10th and 21st November 2025 hosted in Belém, Brazil.
After careful consideration and discussions both internally and with UoR DTP managers, we decided not to proceed with sending students to COP30 in Belém, Brazil this year. This decision was not made lightly. There are significant logistical and financial challenges, including extremely high accommodation costs, limited availability of essential conference access, and the uncertainty this creates for students needing to plan their research and travel well in advance.
We are, however, excited to confirm that the COP Climate Action Studio (COPCAS) will go ahead this year in a fully virtual format.
This year’s virtual COPCAS will feature:
- Daily live updates from academics and Pearl Associates attending COP30 in Brazil.
- Interactive sessions with researchers and policy experts from across the University of Reading.
- Opportunities to develop communication and engagement skills in a dynamic, supportive environment.
