Indigenous groups blocked COP30 entrance demanding revocation of development projects, clearer territory demarcation, and rejection of deforestation carbon credits, highlighting frustration over lack of progress.
- On Saturday, hundreds of demonstrators marched near the COP30 venue on the traditional largest day of protest, following a roughly 4-kilometre route that stopped near the site.
