The streets of Belém were occupied, according to organizers, by more than 70,000 people on Saturday, November 15, for the historic Global Climate March. Unlike the official COP30 spaces, the march brought together the diversity of peoples and demands from civil society in defense of climate justice. With the force of the motto “We are the answer”, the tens of thousands of members of people’s movements held signs such as “Agribusiness is fire”, “There is no climate justice without popular agrarian reform” and “environmental collapse is capitalist”.

Rich Countries At COP30 Are Robbing The Global South

November 16, 2025 David Goeßmann, Truthout. Educate! climate crisis, Climate finance, COP30, Global South

UN climate conferences are primarily announcement summits. For 30 years, industrialized countries, which are primarily responsible for the climate crisis, have been promising that they will reduce greenhouse gas emissions consistent with the climate science, promote the energy transition, and combat the effects of climate change. Additional promises have also been made regarding climate financing at the UN Conference of the Parties (COP) climate summits in Copenhagen (2009) and Paris (2015). At COP30 in Brazil, governments have once again declared their intention to support developing countries with climate funding, repeating their promise at the COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, to increase climate financing to $300 billion annually from 2035. But promises are not yet actions.

People’s Summit Begins In Brazil As An Alternative To COP30

November 15, 2025 Resumen English. Resist! Brazil, climate crisis, Climate Justice, COP30, People's Summit

The People’s Summit began on Wednesday, November 12, in Belém, Brazil, as a space for resistance and an alternative proposal to the official discussions of the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30). The opening ceremony brought together some 5,000 people aboard 200 boats, which sailed along the Amazon River basin. This initial mobilization represents the arrival of popular movements from 62 countries. The event, which will run until November 16 at the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), Guamá campus, seeks to counter what popular movements describe as “false solutions” to the global climate crisis.

US Oil Executives Flock To COP30

Top American oil and gas producers are using trade groups to gain access to this year’s COP30 climate summit in the absence of an official U.S. delegation, DeSmog can report. ExxonMobil and Chevron — which are among the fossil fuel industry’s biggest greenhouse gas emitters — have sent a combined total of 13 executives to the talks, while both companies have either sponsored events or pavilions at the conference. In addition, Exxon CEO Darren Woods spoke at a number of COP30 side events, including one in Sao Paolo on November 3, where he noted in an interview with Reuters that crude oil and hydrocarbons were “going to play a critical role in everybody’s life for a long time to come”.

COP30’s Agrizone Showcases Companies Responsible For Environmental Crisis

The United Nations Climate Conference COP30, is currently underway in Belém, Brazil and will conclude on November 21. It has become increasingly clear that, just as the Landless Rural Workers’ Movement (MST) and several other organizations, movements, collectives, and groups warned, agribusiness is at the forefront of the supposed search for solutions to the environmental crisis. This, in itself, sheds light on the fact that the Conference has become a large business expo, in which the assets will be our territories, communities, and nature.

Amazonian Indigenous Peoples Protest At COP30

On Tuesday, Brazilian Indigenous leaders and activists clashed with security guards as they tried to enter the site where the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) is being held in Belem. The protesters demanded access to the hall hosting the climate summit and several of them carried banners and flags with demands for land rights, such as “Our land is not for sale.” In response, security forces at the venue attempted to block them, using tables to obstruct their entry. However, the protesters bypassed the security checkpoints and entered the lobby of the UN-run tent where the negotiations take place. At that moment, members of the national delegations were preparing to leave the venue.

Big Food’s Routes To Influence At COP30

In the city of Belém, at the mouth of the Amazon rainforest, Brazil has kicked off the COP30 climate conference, a summit framed as a pivotal moment to reduce emissions and keep the Paris Agreement alive. More than 50,000 people are expected to attend, from heads of state to civil society groups. But as attention turns to Brazil, some of the highest emitters from the food sector are also moving to shape the agenda — positioning industrial farming not as part of the problem, but as a climate solution. Agriculture’s powerful influence operation comes at a fragile moment.

The Time Is Here To Act On Climate Adaptation

The United Nations Conference of Parties (COP) is holding its annual meeting in Brazil this year for the 30th time. Despite the creation of the Paris Climate Agreement nearly ten years ago, carbon emissions continue to rise, and the world is now experiencing the impacts of the 1.5° Celsius rise in temperature we sought to avoid. The time has come to shift our thinking and actions to what we can do locally to prepare for and protect our communities from the dangers of the climate crisis. Clearing the FOG speaks with Ed Jarvis, the leader of the Climate Majority Project's SAFER (Strategic Adaptation for Emergency Resilience) campaign. Jarvis discusses the campaign's efforts to bring greater awareness to the need for adaptation and shares what people are doing with a focus on climate justice.

COP30 Takes Place In Brazil, Seeking To Prevent ‘Climate Collapse’

November 10, 2025 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. Educate! Brazil, Climate Change, climate crisis, COP30, Environmentalism, Gustavo Petro, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, World

On November 6, COP30 began in Brazil, a United Nations meeting attended by nearly 50 world leaders to address the most pressing issues of climate change. The meeting is being held in Belem, a city located in the Amazon, one of the regions most affected and threatened by climate change. Brazilian head of state Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is hosting a conference that aims to promote an agenda already agreed upon in the Paris Agreement which, according to the president, has not yet been fulfilled by the nearly 195 signatory countries. To this end, the meeting of world leaders will consist of three working groups (climate and nature; energy transition; and review of the Paris Agreement), in addition to a plenary session.

COP30: Climate Course-Correction Or Another Collision Course?

The 30th Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) will take place in Belém, a remote, underdeveloped, and poor region of the Brazilian Amazon. Delegates from over 190 countries, NGOs, indigenous representatives, and Brazil’s President Lula, alongside COP President André Corrêa do Lago, will all participate in this year’s high-stakes climate negotiations. Missed Targets And Weak Ambition – It’s Now Or Never With 2024 confirmed as the hottest year ever on record, the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, and the massive financial shortfalls left by lacklustre negotiations at COP29, this year’s climate talks are pivotal. A 2024 report by the UN revealed that current policies put the planet on track to reach a catastrophic 3.1°C warming by 2100

UK Newspapers Publish More Ads For Polluting Products Than Climate Coverage

November 10, 2025 Ellen Ormesher, DeSmog. Educate! climate crisis, COP30, Environment, Media, United Kingdom (UK)

British national newspapers devoted more than triple the space to advertising polluting industries such as oil, airlines, and sports utility vehicles than they did to covering last year’s United Nations climate talks, according to a new study. Total high-carbon advertising — including for fossil fuel companies, cruises, and banks financing oil and gas – amounted to 5,086 column inches on two key dates during 2024’s COP29 climate conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, relative to 1,745 column inches for the negotiations themselves. With the next round of talks, known as COP30, getting underway in Belém, Brazil, newspapers will likely repeat the pattern, warned Andrew Simms, co-director of the New Weather Institute think tank, which conducted the research.

Tropical Forest Forever Facility Or The Fake Forest Fund?

November 7, 2025 Global Campaign to Demand Climate Justice. Resist! Brazil, COP30, False Solutions, Forests, TFFF, Tropical Fake Forest Fund

Belem, Brazil - The Global Campaign to Demand Climate Justice (DCJ) and its members and allies from Brazil and across the world reject the new proposal of Tropical Forest Forever Facility presented by the Brazilian government at the Leaders Summit being held in Belem from 6-7 November 2025. TFFF is a false solution that deepens the financialisation and commodification of forests rather than protecting them. Behind the rhetoric of conservation, the TFFF hands control of forest governance to global financial actors and institutions like the World Bank, with a documented history of human and environmental rights violations in so-called “conservation” and “development” projects.

Why We Need To Talk About Adaptation

October 28, 2025 Rupert Read, DeSmog. Strategize! Adaptation, climate crisis, COP30, net zero

I’m delighted to be writing today as the co-author of a new report called ‘We need to talk about adaptation’. This report is co-produced by the Climate Majority Project and the Glacier Trust (a leading adaptation-action NGO, mainly active in the global South). What we did together is investigate how much the biggest environmental organisations are talking about (and what they are doing about) climate adaptation now, in 2025. And here is the interesting bit: the same analysis was conducted in 2020. So we were able to compare then with now.

Look Out For These Eight Big Ag Greenwashing Terms At COP30

Food and agriculture will be under the spotlight at the upcoming round of global climate negotiations in northern Brazil. Representatives from nearly every nation will gather from 6-21 November in Belém, a regional capital and gateway to the Amazon, with most countries far off target to deliver deep cuts to carbon emissions — the only way to halt the worst impacts of catastrophic climate change. Some food and climate groups hope this thirtieth annual Conference of the Parties (called COP30) summit can be a game changer for reforming food systems, which emit around a third of all a third of all greenhouse gases. After all, Brazil — which holds the presidency of COP30 — has a reputation for skilled diplomacy, and has made agriculture objective number three on the conference agenda.

Climate Change Sets Workers’ Feet On Fire

October 17, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. Educate! climate crisis, COP30, Extreme weather, Global heating, Worker Rights, Working Class

This summer, there were days in tropical cities when it was unbearable to walk out in the sunlight. In Mango, Togo, for instance, the temperature soared to 44°C in March and April. Heat maps depict a world on fire, red hot flames licking the planet from the equator outwards. If the air temperature is around 44°C, then the temperature of asphalt and concrete surfaces can exceed 60°C. Since second-degree burns occur in less than five seconds at 60°C, those exposed to that heat are liable to burn their skin. Walking the streets of these burning cities is hard enough with shoes – imagine what it must be like for the millions of people who lack appropriate footwear but must work outdoors during the hottest parts of the day.
