"The streets of Belém echoed with indigenous chants, classical Brazilian songs
and calls for environmental justice on Saturday as tens of thousands of people
marched to demand urgent action on the climate and nature crisis.
Activists from around the world converged on the Amazonian host city of COP30,
urging negotiators to ramp up ambition.
The joyous and defiant demonstration was the first major protest outside the
annual climate talks since Cop26 four years ago in Glasgow, as the last three
gatherings were held in locations with little tolerance for demonstrations –
Egypt, Dubai and Azerbaijan.
The “Great People’s March” comes at the halfway point of contentious
negotiations and follows two protests earlier in the week that were led by
indigenous activists from the Tapajós region."
