Brazil has named automotive industry executive Dan Ioschpe as its official “climate champion” for the COP30 summit, to be held in Belém this November.
In a notable shift toward business-led climate diplomacy, Dan Ioschpe, chairman of Iochpe-Maxion, will represent Brazil as its climate champion ahead of the 2025 UN Climate Summit (COP30).
Ioschpe, who also sits on the boards of major Brazilian firms including aerospace manufacturer Embraer, will serve under COP30 president Andre Correa do Lago, a senior Brazilian diplomat. His primary role will be to engage the private sector and rally voluntary commitments to reduce emissions.
“I look forward to working with him to advance the implementation of the Paris Agreement,” said Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC.
Ioschpe previously chaired the B20 — the business arm of the G20 — during Brazil’s 2024 presidency. He has been active in international negotiations and dialogue at the intersection of trade, business, and climate.
Brazil’s appointment signals a pragmatic turn for COP30, highlighting the government’s intent to align private sector growth with global climate goals.
