7月下旬，巴西北部帕拉州首府的亚马孙林区城市贝伦，天气炎热潮湿。自19世纪中叶巴西橡胶热潮兴起时从欧洲移栽至此的芒果树，至今仍在为贝伦街头遮挡热带的酷暑。与外界对亚马孙雨林的想象迥异，贝伦街头人流熙熙攘攘，随处皆是繁华城市的街景。
In late July, the weather in Belém, the capital of Pará state in northern Brazil and a city in the Amazon forest region, is hot and humid. Mango trees, transplanted here from Europe during the mid-19th century Brazilian rubber boom, still provide shade from the tropical heat on the streets of Belém. Contrary to popular perceptions of the Amazon rainforest, Belém's streets are bustling with people and filled with urban landscapes.
彼时，贝伦正等待多个“亚马孙国家”的首脑和代表。8月8日，时隔14年，首次亚马孙峰会在贝伦举行；这次峰会也被视为《联合国气候变化框架公约》第三十次缔约方大会（COP30）的预热活动。2025年底，贝伦将主办COP30。
At that time, Belem was awaiting the heads and representatives of several "Amazon nations." On August 8, after a 14-year hiatus, the first Amazon Summit was held in Belem; this summit is also seen as a warm-up event for the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. By the end of 2025, Belem will host COP30.
