COP31: Accelerating a resilient and just transition with intelligent infrastructure
As the world converges in Belém for COP31, Bentley Systems and Seequent are uniquely positioned to support governments, businesses, and civil society in addressing the summit’s urgent priorities — from clean energy expansion to climate adaptation and biodiversity protection.
"Change is inevitable, either by choice or catastrophe." — André Corrêa do Lago, head of the COP31 climate summit
About Our Participation at COP30
By combining infrastructure digital twins, geospatial intelligence, and open collaboration platforms, stakeholders can deliver infrastructure that is climate-smart, inclusive, and nature-positive.
To scale up climate-smart infrastructure, governments, infrastructure leaders, multilateral institutions, and private sector partners must collaborate. Let’s build infrastructure that supports a just transition, protects ecosystems, and empowers future generations.
Key thematic pillars
1. Accelerating Climate Adaptation with Geospatial Intelligence
Through digital infrastructure platforms and subsurface modeling, communities can design, maintain, and operate infrastructure that withstands climate extremes—from flooding to water scarcity and soil instability.
2. Enabling the clean energy transition
Technologies for a clean energy transition accelerate the planning, design, and delivery of renewable energy and energy-efficient systems. These tools support grid modernization, optimize interconnection strategies, and ensure the lifecycle sustainability of clean energy assets.
3. Supporting a Just and Inclusive Transition
Supporting a Just and Inclusive Transition Data-rich, accessible tools support equitable infrastructure delivery. These solutions promote transparency, local workforce enablement, and stakeholder engagement, especially in emerging economies and underserved regions.
4. Building Nature-Positive Infrastructure
Biodiversity considerations can be embedded into infrastructure planning and operations. Digital platforms support environmental impact assessments and nature-based solutions, ensuring that sustainability and development go hand-in-hand.
5. Mobilizing Private Sector Climate Investment
Infrastructure investment can be de-risked through better data, open integration, and robust reporting. Digital solutions help project owners and investors evaluate carbon impacts, resilience, and alignment with ESG frameworks, accelerating finance mobilization for sustainable development.
Our activities in the Blue Zone
The Blue Zone is the area at COP31 that is accessible only to government representatives and specific delegates of observer organizations. It hosts the formal negotiations, as well as panel discussions, speaking events, and cultural events, for the duration of the conference.
