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.
