Dozens of Indigenous activists blocked the main entrance to the COP30 summit venue on Friday, 14 November 2025. They demanded that Brazil halt all development projects in the Amazon, including mining, logging, oil drilling, and the construction of a new railway intended for transporting mining and agricultural products.
The sit-in caused long queues and forced summit delegates to use a side entrance to continue negotiations on addressing the climate crisis. This action highlights Indigenous opposition to ongoing development initiatives in the Amazon region around the time of COP30 in Brazil.
The incident was reported with Reuters as the cited source at 15:40 CET and last modified at 16:18 CET.
