00:00And at an alternative event to COP30 called the People's Summit, hundreds of indigenous

00:05people and social movements activists from around the world are creating a list of demands,

00:11which they will present to the United Nations tomorrow, as reported by Amir Explains.

00:19Day 5 of COP30, the UN Climate Summit, is coming to a close, but at the Federal University

00:26of Para, there's still a lot of activities going on.

00:30This is where the People's Summit is taking place.

00:33It's a parallel event, representing an alternative viewpoint, with participation of around 30,000

00:41people who've traveled from all over the world to participate, representing indigenous groups,

00:47agrarian reform movements, Kilambola residents, and riverine peoples, many of whom traveled

00:54here by boat.

00:55And today they're holding a popular assembly in which they're collectively creating a

01:00series of demands that they're going to hand over to the head of the United Nations delegation

01:06tomorrow morning.

01:08Now they're still working out the details, but some of these demands include an immediate

01:12transition to renewable energy sources led by the countries in the global north who are

01:18the most responsible for the climate crisis.

01:21They're also calling for punishment for all of the environmental damage caused by multinational

01:27corporations in the global south.

01:30There's also a call to try and limit or eliminate the use of poisonous pesticides such as glyphosate,

01:38which was legalized in Brazil after the 2016 coup.

01:42So it'll be interesting to see how they're received by the United Nations tomorrow.

01:46In the meantime, this has proven to be a valuable space for like-minded social movements and

01:52activists to exchange experiences and make plans together.
