Indigenous groups demand attention at UN climate talks in Brazil

- 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.

- Earlier this week, protesters twice disrupted the talks, with a Tuesday incident injuring two security guards, while onlookers outside a corner supermarket watched and photographed the marchers.
- Analysts say they do not expect major new agreements but hope for progress on past promises, including aid for poor countries, a context sharpened by the United States skipping the talks.
