The 30th Conference of the Parties, COP 30, was held in the city of Belém, in the state of Pará, Brazil, in 2025. Amid the clash between social pressure and capitalistambition, governmentguidelineswereestablished to guide the role of corporateactionwithin the new Global Climate Regime. This article aims to understand the role played by multinationalcorporations at COP 30 in addressing the global climate crisis. Methodologically, this study employs a normative-legal research design of an exploratory nature, using a qualitative approach. Primary sources are used to collectlaws, treaties, and case law, while secondarysources are used to gathertexts by variousauthors. Regarding data collection procedures, both inductive and deductivemethods are employed, utilizing case law research tools. For data analysis, Laurence Bardin’s Content Analysis Theory is applied. The current research is structured as follows to achieve its results: The role of multinationals in the Global Climate Regime: an analysis of corporateparticipation in COPs (2) and statemechanisms to facilitate the inclusion of multinationalcompanies in COP 30 (3), as well as corporateinitiatives for COP 30: the discourses and commitments of multinationalcorporations toward a new Global Climate Regime (4), under the influence of social pressure from stakeholders on corporateactionduring COP 30 (5).
