At the UN climate summit COP30, Swissnex presents the Planetary Embassy, a pavilion hosted in the zoobotanical gardens of the Goeldi Museum in Belém from November 9 to 21, 2025. Join us among the trees, plants, and animals of the Amazon for an eclectic mix of discussions, exhibits, and embodied experiences exploring the idea of planetary diplomacy. From Yanomami shaman Davi Kopenawa to Swiss tech startups regenerating the rainforest, the Planetary Embassy acts as a new kind of diplomatic space where Amazonian voices and global climate solutions converge.
To explore the idea of planetary diplomacy, the Planetary Embassy invites members of local and indigenous communities in the Amazon region to share their unique perspectives on the topic, including Yanomami shaman Davi Kopenawa, often referred to in Western media as the "Daila Lama of the rainforest."
