Climate activists, including Indigenous people and civil society groups, marched in the Brazilian city of Belem on Saturday (November 15) to call for climate justice and territorial protection at COP30.

Protesters waved flags and carried banners at the climate conference as countries wrangled over which issues they might be able to rally around in a final summit deal – and whether such a deal is even possible.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has highlighted Indigenous communities as key players in this year's COP30 negotiations.

However, Indigenous representatives used a meeting with COP30 President Andre Correa do Lago on Friday (November 14) to ask why they had been brought to the host city of Belem if they were not part of the talks.

They were told that more conference passes were being arranged for them, though environment minister Marina Silva said their demands were to the Brazilian government and best addressed there.
