BELÉM·ATAG EVENT

COP 30 ATAG side events: aviation decarbonisation and SAF

ATAG is organising two side events during the UNFCCC COP30 meeting in Belém, Brazil, in November 2025. Both events will be held in the Blue Zone of the COP30 venue (for accredited delegates who are part of a delegation or who have observer status).

The side events will bring together industry and government stakeholders to explore aviation's progress towards net zero, with a particular focus on embracing the challenges and opportunities of SAF for the Latin America region.

Sustainable aviation fuel: a growth opportunity for Latin America

  • Date and time: Tuesday 11 November 2025, from 15:30 to 16:30
  • Venue: Silent Theatre, ICC pavilion, COP30 Blue Zone

This ATAG event will explore Latin America's huge potential to become a leading SAF supplier in the world. Discussions will focus on the policy frameworks, investment conditions, feedstock availability and regional cooperation that are required to enable the scale up in SAF production within the region.

Speakers will include experts from the Asia Sustainable Fuel Association (ASAFA), the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and LATAM Airlines.

From ambition to action: demonstrating scalable results in aviation decarbonisation

  • Date and time: Friday 14 November 2025, from 12:30 to 13:30
