Bolivia’s new president, Rodrigo Paz Pereira, took office on 8 November 2025. He has promised to prioritize bridging regional, political, and social divisions to build a long-term vision for the country. This political transition is timely in that it also adds a new dimension to Bolivia’s position at the 30th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP30), which takes place this week in Brazil (1).
