The agreement was formalized during the event “COP 30 in Perspective: Indigenous Peoples and Climate Change” , held at Insper, with the presence of Minister Sônia Guajajara.   The memorandum, signed by the minister, by Marcelo Orticelli, Vice President of Organizational Development at Insper, and Priscila Claro, Dean of Undergraduate Education, establishes a cooperation with the aim of providing qualified training to indigenous people in strategic areas such as urban development, public policy, economics, administration, and sustainability.   The document also seeks to support studies and research on inclusion policies, strengthening Indigenous representation in academia and public administration.   According to Beatriz Vanzolini, Program Director of Teaching at Center for City Research, the partnership is the result of discussions initiated between Insper and MPI in October of last year. The collaboration aims to foster teaching and research related to Indigenous issues and will have a cross-cutting approach, also involving Insper’s Center for Public Management & Policy (CGPP) and its Sustainability and Business Cell.   The initiative is part of Insper’s broader efforts focused on Indigenous peoples and climate change, which include, among other actions, integrating Indigenous researchers into the school’s projects. Recently, Thiago Henrique Karai Djekupe and Txai Suruí became research fellows at Insper Cidades, working on the Indigenous Peoples and Climate Change Project , part of the program Cidade  +2ºC , launched on August 5, 2025.   Thiago is an undergraduate student in Architecture and Urbanism at Escola da Cidade, and Txai is an undergraduate student in Law at the Pontifical Catholic University. In August, Txai was appointed by the UN to the Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change, being the only Brazilian to join the group.   The COP 30 in Perspective event brought together Indigenous leaders, researchers, and representatives of social organizations, fostering dialogue on the role of Indigenous peoples in society, environmental protection, and the formulation of public policies."}]
