The COP, the United Nations Conference of the Parties, which annually brings together the signatory countries of the Climate Convention, began its 28th edition this week in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The Luminous Earth Institute (ITL) is represented at the event by its executive director, Glenn Suba, who joins the delegation of the CASA Socioenvironmental Fund this Saturday, December 2.
With the entry into force of the Climate Convention in 1994, representatives of signatory countries began to meet annually at the Conferences of the Parties to discuss the progress of the implementation of the Paris Agreement and set new goals, as the global scenario leads to a considerable increase in the average annual temperature instead of its reduction.
The CASA Fund invited Glenn to join its delegation of 17 people, consisting of team members and leaders of supported groups, due to his excellent work as an environmentalist with over two decades of dedication to the preservation and regeneration of the Atlantic Forest, especially in the last eight years, during which he has been a part of the Luminous Earth Institute.
The CASA Fund is a Brazilian organization that supports over 3,000 projects of high relevance and socio-environmental impact. ITL has received financial support from CASA since 2018 for waste management and advocacy programs.
