Belém, Brazil — Day 5 at the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference, or COP30, began with its second major protest, a scene that unfolded before many delegates had even arrived. Dozens of members of the Munduruku Indigenous community gathered at the main entrance in a sit-in, blocking entry. It created one of the most striking visuals of the summit so far: families and children seated quietly in front of a closed metal gate while heavily armed officers stood clustered on the other side.
"President Lula, we are here in front of COP because we want you to listen to us. We refuse to be sacrificed for agribusiness," the group said in a statement, according to Reuters.
