Climate protesters demand to be heard as they march on COP30 with costumes and drums
- On Saturday, Nov. 15, 2025, activists marched about 4 kilometers near the main venue at COP30 in Belem, Brazil, marking the traditional biggest day of protest.
- Organizers argued the march aimed to press leaders for change as Pablo Neri urged more inclusive talks, Vitoria Balbina defended Babaçu palms, and others opposed Tapajós development.
- Black dresses and red shirts signaled the protest’s message, while women wore domed Babaçu palm frond hats and organizers used sound trucks and raised platforms to lead thousands past a sea of flags.
- The march stopped short of the venue, where a full day of sessions was planned, after protests earlier this week injured two security guards, analysts say no major agreements are expected.
- With the United States skipping the talks, California Governor Gavin Newsom and New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham attended amid record 2024 climate indicators cited by protesters.
