Thousands hit streets of Belém to call for action during crucial Cop30 summit

The recent 'Great People’s March' in Belém, coinciding with COP30, underscores a growing global demand for climate action. Activists urged negotiators to increase their ambitions, reflecting a broader sentiment echoed in protests that have blocked entrances to the summit. The presence of indigenous groups at these demonstrations highlights the intersection of cultural identity and environmental advocacy. As concerns about ecological threats mount, the influence of political figures, such as Donald Trump, continues to loom over negotiations, creating a complex backdrop for climate discussions. This convergence of activism and policy at COP30 illustrates the urgent call for comprehensive climate strategies.
