The EY House e-book at COP30 consolidates learnings, reflections, and concrete solutions for strategic sectors of the economy, including agribusiness, energy, infrastructure, mining, and financial services, offering viable pathways for a sustainable and low-carbon transition.
Acting as a bridge between public policies, value chains, financial systems, and investment flows, EY House served as a convergence space between ambition and execution, based on the premise that the climate agenda is no longer just environmental, but a central driver of competitiveness, capital attraction, and economic development.
The discussions generated deep reflections, actionable insights, and structured pathways for action. This content has been compiled into this e-book, delivered to the COP30 Presidency and now made available to all those seeking to build viable solutions, going beyond the discussion of challenges, available in both Portuguese and English, with the goal of supporting decision-making and unlocking implementation.

The material is structured around three fundamental pillars:
- Barriers that limit the advancement of the climate agenda
- Levers that can accelerate the transition
- Implementation pathways with a practical, sector-focused approach
From dialogue to transformation: an agenda that connects ambition to execution
With expert curation, a high-level agenda, and a results-oriented focus, EY House brought together 3,000 participants across 120 events, more than 200 companies from 33 nationalities, and thousands of leaders—including over 100 CEOs—featuring high-level representatives from the public, corporate, financial, academic, civil society, and Indigenous communities to discuss and develop robust solutions.
Aligned with the themes and the 30 action points of the COP30 Presidency’s Action Agenda, five priority sectors were at the center of discussions:

More about EY House
Built in Belém (Pará), EY House became one of the main hubs for discussions on climate change, nature, sustainability, and innovation during COP30.
The space was developed by EY in partnership with Bradesco, B3, Vale, and companies from the Votorantim S.A. portfolio, including Banco BV, CBA – Companhia Brasileira de Alumínio, Citrosuco, Reservas Votorantim, Votorantim Cimentos, and Motiva.
The initiative also included collaboration with international institutions such as MIT Sloan Management School, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and AMCHAM, with support from the Government of Pará.
The legacy goes beyond the conference: at the end of COP30, the physical structure of EY House became the headquarters of the Pará State Secretariat for Indigenous Peoples, symbolizing a concrete commitment to sustainable and inclusive development in the region.
