00:00The Climate Summit began this Thursday in the Brazilian Amazon, a time for debate among world leaders to address the climate crisis.
00:07Details in the following report by our colleagues André Vieira and Sebastián Soto.
00:14We import security for the Climate Summit, with over 150 foreign delegations in attendance.
00:21At the gate of the meeting place, indigenous people, black resistance communities and fishermen protested to demand direct resources for those who preserve the rainforest.
00:32This demand was also supported by those who participated in the meeting.
00:36When they tell us that we should look to indigenous peoples, that there can be no COP, that there can be no summit,
00:46that there can be no project for our territory without being with those who live in the territory and who are actually in the territory.
00:53As a prelude to COP30, the Climate Summit aims to define the lines that will be adopted by negotiators during the United Nations Climate Change Conference.
01:10Climate justice is an ally in the fight against hunger, poverty, racism and gender inequality,
01:17as well as in the promotion of more representative and inclusive global governance.
01:222024 was the hottest year in history, exceeding the limit of one and a half degrees above pre-industrial levels.
01:32The first COP held in the Amazon is an attempt to postpone the end of the war,
01:36in the face of the interest of a political system that puts profit above life.
01:45If we stop the atrocities of capitalism in the forest and tropical rainforests,
01:50we will be protecting humanity.
01:53Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, the Americas, all were represented.
01:59But the absence of the leader of one of the world's most polluting countries was noticeable.
02:05The absence of the United States here.
02:11The fact that Mr. Donald Trump is not coming, the fact that he personally denies science and is leading his society with his eyes closed towards the abyss,
02:23and with it, humanity.
02:25The COP30 has just begun, but it already has its first concrete project, the Rainforest Forever Fund,
02:36an initiative by Brazil that already has a pledge of $1.5 billion to be allocated to countries that preserve forests.
02:44A glimmer of hope in the midst of an extreme storm,
02:48responding to the demands of the communities protesting outside the summit.
