The 'Great People's March' gathered over 50,000 protesters demanding Indigenous land rights, Amazon protection, and reparations from fossil fuel companies, highlighting lobbyist influence at COP30.
- 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.

- 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.
