US EditionIndigenous Protesters Breach COP30 Summit Venue in Brazil
- On Tuesday, November 11, 2025, dozens of Indigenous protesters forced their way into the COP30 venue in Belem, demanding access to the U.N. compound and pressing land-rights claims.
- Indigenous leaders said they were frustrated by industry-driven development in the forest, and protesters said they want their lands free from agribusiness, oil exploration, illegal miners and illegal loggers.
- Clashing spread to the venue entrance, with both sides striking each other using makeshift items; security guards barricaded the entrance with tables, confiscated batons, and two staff were slightly injured, with one guard rushed away on a wheelchair with a head wound.
- The venue was secured and COP30 negotiations continued after COP30 delegates were allowed to exit, while hundreds of protesters dispersed shortly after the clash and Brazilian and U.N. authorities opened an investigation.
- As an Amazon flotilla sailed to COP30, Indigenous activists aimed to amplify their message, while Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, President of Brazil, highlighted Indigenous peoples' role amid the Amazon rainforest's 340 million ton carbon sink.
