As global leaders, international organizations, scientists, business representatives and climate activists convene in Belém for COP30, the IAEA is showcasing how nuclear science and technology are driving solutions to environmental challenges. Nuclear science not only provides the world with reliable clean energy, but also helps scientists monitor and protect ecosystems, enhance food security and reduce pollution.
At the IAEA Atoms4Climate Pavilion, visitors can see these innovations in action. In Brazil, for example, electron beam (e-beam) technology is transforming industrial wastewater treatment. In Latin America, countries are using nuclear techniques to control pests, safeguard crops and food exports — a win for farmers, consumers and the environment.
