MANAUS (AM) – First Lady Rosângela Lula da Silva, known as Janja, will be in Manaus on August 19 and 20 to take part in the Meeting of the Scientific and Technological Community of the Amazon, held at the Federal University of Amazonas (Ufam). The goal is to discuss strategic actions for the preservation of the Amazon and to forward the proposals to COP30, which will take place in Belém (PA) in November 2025.
The event, promoted by the Council for Sustainable Economic and Social Development (Conselhão), will bring together more than 200 researchers from various institutions in the region. During the meeting, a document with proposals from over 40 scientific institutions will be presented, aligned with the Action Agenda of the Global Task Force against Climate Change (2025–2035).
The announcement was reinforced this Saturday, the 16th, by Anne Moura, from Amazonas, National Secretary of Women of the Workers’ Party (PT). In a video released on social media, Anne stated that Janja will attend the event to “listen to Amazonian women, social movements and the scientific community” about challenges and solutions for the preservation of the Amazon.
“This dialogue will contribute so that our local voices reach COP30 in Belém, strengthening public policies across Brazil. We will take advantage of this unique opportunity to showcase our experiences, ideas, and initiatives, and to warmly welcome our companion Janja, who is a partner and friend of the Amazon,” Moura said in her video.

The First Lady’s visit reinforces the federal government’s commitment to the environmental agenda and highlights the importance of the Amazon in international climate discussions.
According to information from PT Amazonas activists, the First Lady is also expected to meet with female religious leaders during her stay in Manaus, to hear their demands and discuss public policies directed at this sector.
