The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation moves to Latin America following up COP30.

Mayor player in forging Sustainable Development international policies in Monaco, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation has been acting as a non-profit organisation focused on providing impactful solutions in strategic fields like biodiversity, climate action, ocean preservation and water sources maintenance. Expanding its presence in the world is part of its strategy. In this direction, a new Branch for Latin America was launched in São Paulo on the 7th November 2025 in the presence of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco and Arnoldo Wald, Consul General of Monaco in Brazil. The exclusive meeting was held at the Fondation Armando Alvarez Penteado - FAAP - within the targeted event Construire demain, ensemble (“Building together, tomorrow”) gathering students in art, economics, and law as well as young entrepreneurs to introduce the audience their companies and sustainable development projects.

The debate inevitably veered towards the UN Conference of the Parties COP30 which would have taken place in Belém within few days. In particular, Federico Perez, member of the development committee of the Latin America branch of Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, member of the first Re.Generation cohort and entrepreneur, stressed the importance of South America region for biological diversity, resilience, innovation and leadership, including the Amazon, a true heritage of humanity.
