Protests, tears and a baby: five key images that tell the story of Cop30
  • Emotions escalated at the UN climate summit COP30 in Brazil, marked by significant protests from the Munduruku Indigenous group, who blocked the venue's entrance, leading to long delays for delegates. This protest was the first major disruption in four years, highlighting the ongoing tensions surrounding climate negotiations.
  • The protests underscore the urgent concerns of Indigenous communities regarding climate policies and their impacts on the Amazon. The Munduruku's actions reflect broader frustrations with the perceived inadequacies of global climate agreements to address Indigenous rights and environmental protection.
  • The COP30 summit has faced multiple disruptions, including a fire that led to evacuations and halted critical negotiations. These incidents reveal deep divisions among participating nations over fossil fuel policies and the effectiveness of the summit in achieving meaningful climate action, raising questions about the future of international climate cooperation.
