During the COP30 UN Climate Change Conference in Belem, Brazil, tens of thousands participated in the 'Great People's March,' marking a significant protest against climate inaction. The rally featured Indigenous people and activists who expressed their frustrations over stalled negotiations. They carried a giant beach ball representing Earth and held a mock funeral for fossil fuels, symbolizing their demands for urgent climate action. Protesters called for reparations for damages inflicted on marginalized communities by corporations and governments. The march occurred amid a deadlock in negotiations, with COP30 President Andre Correa do Lago acknowledging the lack of progress. Key issues included disagreements over trade measures and climate finance for poorer nations. This protest was notable as it was the first major demonstration at a climate summit since COP26 in Glasgow, highlighting the growing urgency for climate action.
