Indigenous people march during the annual Free Earth camp, where Brazil's Indigenous communities discuss rights, territorial protection and their role in COP30, which will take place for the first time in the Amazon, in Brasilia, Brazil, April 8, 2025
WITH the United Nations conference of parties (Cop) climate talks fast approaching, thousands of Indigenous people marched in Brazil’s capital on Tuesday.
The protesters demanded that the state guarantee and expand their rights to traditional lands as part of the solution to the world’s climate crisis.
Bearing messages such as “Land rights = Climate Action,” they walked toward Three Powers Square in Brasilia, where congress, the supreme court and the presidential palace are located.
From summit to summit, imperialist companies and governments cut, delay or water down their commitments, warn the Communist Parties of Britain, France, Portugal and Spain and the Workers Party of Belgium in a joint statement on Cop30
When it comes to extreme weather events, from wildfires to flash floods, it’s firefighters who are on the front line of defence, but services have been cut to the bone, and government is not taking seriously its responsibility for the environment, says STEVE WRIGHT
