Our Mission at COP30 in Brazil
As the world gathers in Belém, Brazil for COP30, Built by Nature is on the ground to accelerate the shift toward a regenerative built environment. Over the next two weeks, we’re bringing the momentum of our global campaign for the Principles for Responsible Timber Construction, now backed by more than 290 businesses and organisations across the value chain.
What to Expect from Built by Nature at COP30
We are here to show what is possible when policy follows the lead of the building industry. By switching to responsibly sourced, bio-based materials like timber, we can drastically cut global emissions and deliver real value for both nature and people.
Here’s what we’re bringing to Belém:
- Premiere of Our Future: Built by Nature – a powerful new film showcasing the vision and voices behind the movement.
- Launch of new tools to support the implementation of the Principles.
- Engagement with governments to seek national endorsements and drive policy change.
- Showcasing Prize-winning projects that prove forest-positive construction is not only possible—it’s scalable.

Our goal at COP30 is threefold: to showcase real progress and practical solutions that demonstrate the viability of forest-positive construction; to seek national endorsements that will help translate the Principles into meaningful policy implementation; and to unite partners around a shared vision for a regenerative built environment that benefits both people and the planet.
From Brazil to the world, responsible timber construction is gaining momentum. Let’s shape a future where forests and cities thrive together.
