Indigenous leaders at COP30 demand real influence, not just recognition, despite being central to the summit's focus on Amazon protection.
Indigenous peoples are central to COP30 in Belem, Brazil, hailed as the “Indigenous peoples COP,” with global attention on their role in protecting the Amazon and biodiversity.
Despite increased visibility, many activists say their presence doesn’t translate to real influence, citing exclusion from high-level negotiations, lack of translation services, power outages, and systemic barriers like travel costs and limited representation.
While the summit focuses on implementing past climate commitments, Indigenous leaders stress that meaningful inclusion requires early involvement in policy design, direct funding, and structural change—not just symbolic recognition.
