By Jullie Pereira
Indigenous peoples have converged on Belém to participate in the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30), which opened Monday. According to the Coalition of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB), about 2,500 Indigenous representatives – the largest ever at a COP – are expected to attend. Yet only 14% (360 individuals) secured accreditation for the Blue Zone, the restricted area for official negotiations.
