On November 12, 2025, Data Privacy Brasil held a roundtable discussion on data and land grabbing as part of the COP do Povo program, a parallel event to COP30. Entitled “COP30, Data and Land Use: Discussing Agendas to Combat Land Grabbing,” the roundtable aimed to be a space for exchange among civil society on the importance of public transparency of personal data to strengthen the fight against deforestation and land grabbing and to guarantee territorial justice, placing the discussion within the context of COP30 and considering future agendas. This is part of the activities planned for the project “Climate, Land Use and Data Flow: Reconciling Individual and Collective Rights,” developed by Data Privacy Brasil with support from the Climate and Society Institute.
This event is a consequence of observations made in research over the past few years regarding the importance of public transparency of environmental data, including certain personal data. Transparency is essential to balance an extremely unequal scenario, marked by violence and violations of the rights of local communities. And it seems relevant to discuss it in light of the serious problem of land grabbing in Brazil and within the context of COP30.
