Caminhos COP is a global initiative that brings culture into the climate conversation, linking local experiences to worldwide challenges. Inspired by the movement leading up to COP30 climate summit in Brazil, the project sets out on a journey of shared knowledge through public panels, exhibitions, and creative activities in London (Science Museum), Rio de Janeiro (Museum of Tomorrow), and Belém (Museum of the Amazons).
It’s a collaborative effort between partner institutions, shaped around four themes defined by the British Council for the UK–Brazil Cultural Year: Culture + Climate, Culture + Place, Culture + Voice, and Culture + Technology. The program features:
-
Esquenta COP Occupation at the Museum of Tomorrow: talks, exhibits, and hands-on activities that spark conversations about climate change
-
Listening Sessions at the Museum of the Amazons: meaningful exchanges with Amazonian communities
-
Panel at the Science Museum: part of the museum’s lineup, spotlighting the link between culture and climate
Each panel brings together voices from Brazil and the UK, chosen by the partner institutions and the British Council. The project encourages bold and inclusive artistic collaborations, building bridges between places, organizations, and people.
Alongside the live events, Caminhos COP also hopes to inspire public policy ideas shaped by the challenges and opportunities of COP30 climate summit. By weaving together culture and climate, the initiative aims to leave a lasting impact and spark powerful conversations across borders and communities.
*COP Pathways was selected through the UK-Brazil Season of Culture open call.
