On Friday, 14 November 2025, dozens of Indigenous activists blocked the entrance to the COP30 summit venue. They demanded that the Brazilian government cease 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 protesters staged a sit-in which caused long queues and forced delegates to use a side entrance in order to continue negotiations on addressing the climate crisis.
The incident was reported by Reuters and highlighted by a video article from the Guardian, underscoring Indigenous opposition to Amazon development and its consequential impacts on climate change.
