About the Conference

Rio+30 Cities, where humanity
is connected

After 30 years of Rio-92, Rio de Janeiro celebrates the environmental legacy and calls on cities and the whole society to build the premises of a sustainable and inclusive life with the Conference on Sustainable and Inclusive Urban Development – Rio+30 Cities.

Building on the legacy of the Rio-92, Rio+20 and Stockholm+50 conferences, Rio+30 Cities proposes to design an ambitious urban agenda for a green present for all.

In this regard, the City of Rio invites everyone to gather in Rio de Janeiro on October 17, 18 and 19, 2022 to discuss proposals and raise the ambition of cities’ commitments in promoting sustainable development and climate action today.

Over three days, different generations of players that humanize the city – mayors, networks, productive sectors of industry and commerce, academia, local leaders, traditional communities, activists – will meet in Rio to reflect on the public policies that drive the implementation of concrete low-carbon actions promoting social justice.

The present urban agenda commitments will be consolidated in the Rio Declaration for Sustainable and Inclusive Urban Development, to be taken as a position paper to the global climate agenda conferences, emphasizing the role of cities in leading the fight against climate change and sustainable socio-economic development.

Rio and Nature

The Nature in Rio de Janeiro City

With one-third of its territory covered by green areas, Rio has in nature and environmental assets its world identity.

Perhaps no other global city synthesizes the challenges of sustainable development as well as Rio. It is a city squeezed between sea and mountains, with unique riches such as its Maciços Florestais da Tijuca, Gericinó-Mendanha, and Pedra Branca, home to the largest urban forest in the world, and two bays - but at the same time facing enormous challenges in basic sanitation, urban mobility, and social inclusion.

Three decades after the historic UN conference, Rio is once again at the center of discussions about sustainability. Committed to neutralizing its carbon emissions by 2050, the city calls on other cities around the world to join an unprecedented movement that advocates environmental federalism and local action. In Rio, humanity connects to itself.

Conservation Units

Rio de Janeiro City Parks

Rio collects so many environmental attributes that it is impossible to go to a region of the city without coming across a protected area. Altogether, the conservation units in the capital add up to 33 thousand hectares, which is equivalent to ten “Tijuca Forests”. The city has 56 conservation units under municipal management, such as parks, APAs, and natural monuments. The last of these was created in October 2021: the APA Sertão Carioca, in the boroughs of Vargem Grande, Vargem Pequena, Recreio dos Bandeirantes and Camorim. With 2,846 hectares, it is the fifth-largest in land area. CLICK HERE to learn more about the conservation units.

The Legacy

Rio de Janeiro is a leader in urban climate policies.

Its legacy in building international commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions demonstrates the city’s relevance and global alignment in combating the climate crisis.

Rio de Janeiro has one-third of its territory under environmental protection, being a city that integrates urban life with its forest assets. This characteristic not only increases the quality of the carioca lifestyle but also brings challenges that become complex in the face of the impacts of climate change.

The city has consolidated actions of social and environmental impact, such as ReflorestaRio, which for over 30 years has provided nature restoration and biodiversity enhancement through reforestation in large urban areas, with the support of members of lower-income communities and civil society.

In addition to mitigating greenhouse gases, Rio is working to build a city that is better prepared to deal with the impacts of climate change. An unprecedented achievement, the city set 2050 as the deadline for carbon neutrality, demonstrating its pioneering spirit and commitment to the environment. In addition, in 2016, the city created the Resilience Strategy, a project awarded by the Climate Reality Project in 2021 and supported by the network of global cities R-Cities.

The articulating role of the city of Rio is also demonstrated in the several mandates ahead of the CB27, the Forum of Environment Secretaries of the Brazilian Capitals, whose leadership will be exercised until April 2022 by the City’s Environment Secretariat. Created in Rio+20, CB27 aims at the strengthening and coordinated action of the environmental secretaries, the exchange of experiences in urban sustainability, and the advancement of innovative environmental agendas.

Questions and Answers

Useful
Information

Find below a list with several information to help your stay in Rio during Rio +30 Cities:

Ícone Antes da viagem BEFORE TRAVELLING TO RIO

  • VISA

    The visa is the document granted by the Consular Representations of Brazil abroad that allows foreigners to expect to enter and stay in the national territory, as long as the conditions provided for in the legislation in force are met. To apply for a visa, citizens from other countries must present the Visa Application Form duly filled out, a valid travel document, proof of payment of consular fees, International Immunization Certificate – when necessary -, and other documents specific to the type of visa requested. Do you need a visa? To find out if you need a visa to travel to Brazil, clique aqui. Brazil adopts a visa granting policy based on the principle of reciprocity. This means that nationals of countries that require visas from Brazilian citizens for entry into their territories will also need a visa to travel to Brazil. By the current Brazilian migration legislation (Law 13,445/2017), visa exemption can only be granted by Brazilian authorities, on a reciprocal basis, through bilateral understanding on the subject, except for the hypotheses of Decree 9,731/2019. Brazil has bilateral understandings on visa exemption with about 90 countries. Onde solicitar vistos? Itamaraty is the Brazilian government agency responsible for granting visas, which occurs through the Embassies, Consulates-General, Consulates and Vice-Consulates of Brazil abroad. Brazilian visas will never be granted in the national territory. Therefore, it will not be possible to obtain your visa at airports, ports, or any entry point at the Brazilian border. Likewise, Itamaraty and Federal Police (responsible body for migration control at Brazilian borders) will not be able to authorize the entry of foreign citizens without the appropriate visa. If the citizen from another country is already in national territory and wishes to extend the period of stay or obtain a residence permit, he/she must contact the Ministry of Justice/ Federal Police or the Ministry of Labor, if the authorization is, for example, for work or research purposes.

  • HEALTH

    The International Health Regulations (IHR) allow countries to require the International Certificate of Vaccination and Prophylaxis (CIVP) for the entry of foreigners in their territory, and this can occur even with travelers only in transit through airports. Although this document is not formally required by Brazil, it is recommended that all people living in or going to areas where there is a vaccination recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) be vaccinated. Your entry into Brazilian territory may be prevented if there is suspicion of transmission of certain types of diseases. Depending on the epidemiological situation in your country of origin, other health requirements may apply. Please check with your local health authority in advance with the World Health Organization (WHO), a Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) e o Ministry of Health.  Vaccines For safe return, it is recommended that all of the following vaccines be up to date: Hepatitis A and B; Poliomyelitis (“infantile paralysis”); Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis; Yellow Fever; Meningococcal Meningitis (MM); HPV; Measles, Mumps and Rubella (SCR); Varicella; Tuberculosis; Pneumonias, Meningitis, Otitis and Sinusitis; Human Rabies; Cholera and Traveler’s Diarrhea (DV). Also keep up to date vacinas  in the calendar of the Ministry of Health’s National Program, and use condoms in all sexual relations, thus avoiding sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B, syphilis, among others.  Disease Control in Brazil Each country has a framework of more common diseases that occur more frequently in the population. This picture can vary greatly from country to country and, above all, from region to region. In Brazil, for example, tropical diseases occur more frequently more information about common diseases in Brazil can be found directly on the. Ministry of Health. In countries with more temperate climates, tropical diseases are rarer and other types of pathologies, which do not occur in Brazil, can be more common. Therefore, if you feel any symptoms immediately after returning to Brazil from abroad, urgently seek a health center and inform your travel history. This can help provide a faster diagnosis. Attention: The orientation of immediate search for a health center must be strictly followed by Brazilians who are returning from countries with known epidemics. In this case, the quick prevention can help to avoid the transmission of the disease in Brazilian territory. (Source: Federal Government Website www.gov.br)   – COVID-19 Brazilians and foreigners traveling to Brazil by air must present to the airline company, before boarding: I – document proving that the RT-PCR laboratory test for screening for infection with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (covid-19) was performed, with negative or non-reactive results, within the seventy-two hours prior to departure, according to the following criteria:

  • CUSTOMS AND LUGGAGE

    Travelers over 16 years old who intend to arrive at Brazilian ports and airports with products purchased from abroad in their luggage need to be aware of the limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. For more information, visit Receita Federal do Brasil, that makes available, in its website, data on the customs control procedures and tax treatment for the goods acquired by the traveler abroad. Luggage The concept of luggage includes: new or used goods destined for personal use or consumption, as long as they are compatible with the circumstances of the trip; and other goods, including gifts, as long as they do not exceed the quantitative limits and that, due to their nature, quantity and variety do not characterize a commercial and/or industrial destination. Attention: In addition to the hand baggage inspection procedure by the customs authorities, there are restrictions on what can be taken onto an aircraft bound for Brazil. The transport of liquids, including gels, pastes, creams, aerosols, and the like must be in containers of no more than 100 ml. To facilitate inspection, the bottle must be wrapped in a transparent, sealable plastic bag with a maximum capacity of one liter and dimensions of 20 x20 cm.  Unaccompanied luggage Unaccompanied luggage is exempt from taxes regarding goods for personal use, used goods, books, brochures and periodicals. For the other goods considered as baggage, the Special Luggage Tax Regime, subjecting the traveler to the payment of import tax, calculated at a rate of 50% on the total value of the goods, without the right to the exemption quota of accompanied luggage, with the application of a fine for failure to declare, if applicable. Assets for personal use You do not have to declare items that the IRS considers to be for personal use or consumption, such as books, pamphlets and periodicals, used cell phones, used cameras, clothes, watches, among other products.

If the tourist wants to take some equipment abroad, he/she must have an invoice and look for the customs office before boarding to avoid paying taxes when returning to Brazil. However, it is forbidden to bring goods, even for personal use, in quantities that reveal a commercial purpose. Medications Medications with medical prescription, baby food and liquids for special diets do not fall under this restriction, but must be transported in the necessary and prescribed quantity for the duration of the flight and any stopovers. To enter Brazil with medical products, medicines for human use, in vitro diagnostic products, cleaning products, including equipment and parts, instruments and materials intended for aesthetic or dental use, or biological materials, you must consult in advance with the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA). Cash If you have funds in cash, in national or foreign currency, in an amount exceeding R$10,000.00, and are entering Brazil, you are required to present Electronic Declaration of Travelers’ Assets (e-DBV).The carrying of national or foreign paper money in cash, not including securities, checks or traveler’s checks, must be declared. Goods not considered luggage For information about the entry, in Brazil, of land vehicles, vessels, aircraft and other goods that do not constitute luggage, it is recommended to contact directly the Receita Federal do Brasil. Duty-free Those who exceed the personal allowance of $500 pay a penalty of 50% of the excess amount. For those returning from a trip by land, river or lake, the tax-free quota drops to US$ 300. The tax exemption limit for purchases made in duty-free stores is US$ 500. There is also control over the number of products purchased. The packages of drinks or perfumes must be sealed and the receipt must be on display with the date of the beginning of the flight back to the country (boarding or connection). It is worth remembering that this extra limit to the exemption quota is valid only for the stores located at the Brazilian airport arrivals. What is purchased in the free shop of the boarding gate, in the foreign country or on board the airplane is considered good purchased abroad and enters the luggage exemption account. Restricted Items Some items can be brought into Brazil, provided there is authorization from the competent national agency. For animals to enter Brazil, authorization must be obtained from the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA). For the entry of firearms, you must communicate, in advance, the Brazilian Army. The entry of telecommunication equipment, in turn, is conditional on the authorization of the National Telecommunications Agency (ANATEL) and the carrying of precious stones must be reported to Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME). Prohibited Items Some items are prohibited to bring into Brazil and, if discovered, will be seized by customs. In some cases, the traveler can be arrested by Brazilian authorities and face civil and criminal prosecution.  The following are prohibited from entering Brazil, under penalty of fine and/or imprisonment: – Cigarettes and beverages manufactured in Brazil, intended for sale exclusively abroad; – Branded cigarettes that are not sold in the country of origin; – Firearm replicas; – Products containing genetically modified organisms; – Pesticides, their components and related products; – Goods offensive to morals, good customs, health or public order; e – Any narcotic substances or drugs. Counterfeited products Although counterfeited products can be easily found in some countries, bringing such goods into Brazil can result in reprimands, fines, and, in more serious cases, imprisonment. It is recommended, therefore, to be extremely careful with what you buy in other countries, always demanding the invoice, regardless of the value of the goods purchased.

  • TOURISM

    Welcome | Riotur.Rio  https://www.rio.rj.gov.br/web/riotur/exibir-conteudo/?id=12433409  Rio de Janeiro is a city full of touristic attractions, incredible and with a stunning landscape. Walk around, discover, register, take the tours: you won’t regret it! Since it is a big city with many different activities, a good idea is to organize a schedule in which you visit nearby attractions on the same day, to make the most of the time. Another tip is to check the weather forecast and visit panoramic or open-air attractions on sunny days, leaving museums for days when the weather may be rainy.  To start exploring the city, how about getting to know the center? This is the region where Rio began, where you will find the historic buildings, the pedestrian streets, the Municipal Theatre,the Nacional Library, the Candelária Church, the iconic Confeitaria Colombo and so on. By walking through this region, you will be able to follow the development of the city and its contrasts. From the city center, you can take the streetcar that passes by Arcos da Lapa and takes you to Santa Teresa to walk through its hillsides. Also go to Praça Mauá, the city’s port area that was revitalized and now houses the Museum of Tomorrow and the AquaRio, an aquarium.  O The Christ the Redeemer will certainly be on your itinerary. The most famous attraction in the city is on top of Corcovado Mountain and offers a breathtaking view of Rio de Janeiro. It is a wonderful place with a lot of symbolism. Equally charming is the Sugar Loaf Mountain, which is accessed by a cable car. Try to visit in the late afternoon, so you can admire the sunset from a unique angle!  Copacabana is another attraction that should not be left out of your schedule. Walk along the beachfront, admiring its Portuguese cobblestone sidewalk, the ocean, and the Copacabana Fortress . You can also extend the tour and go to Ipanema, where Pedra do Arpoador is located (another great spot to admire the sunset) and then through Leblon. Rio is a city for being outdoors and there is no shortage of outings! You can rent a pedal boat at Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, have a coffee at Laje Park, go for a run at Aterro do Flamengo and rest by the trees of the Botanical Garden If you are a fan of beaches, you must go to Ipanema, Leblon e Copacabana,but also take a day to enjoy the beaches of Barra da Tijuca, Reserva (que fica quase deserta), Prainha e Grumari. These are less popular, and therefore emptier beaches, surrounded by a beautiful forest!  For those who are a fan of cultural tours, the tip is to visit the already mentioned Museu do Amanhã (Museum of Tomorrow), as well as the Cultural Center of Banco do Brasil, do Navy Cultural Space and visit Ilha Fiscal, the Cultural Center Parque das Ruínas, the Museum of Modern Art of Rio de Janeiro and the Museum of Contemporary Art of Niterói, Rio de Janeiro’s neighboring city, which can be reached by ferryboat or by the Rio-Niterói Bridge.  (Source: Internet and Rio de Janeiro City Hall website)
