00:00A day after the end of the People's Climate Summit, Indigenous Peoples and Working Class

00:04Social movements are working to have their voices heard at COP30.

00:09From Bolem, our correspondent, Baramir, with more.

00:18Day 8 of the UN Climate Change Conference, COP30, is winding down and this is the first

00:24day since the People's Summit ended.

00:28Over 30,000 people from social movements, indigenous reserves, riverine communities and Kilambolas

00:34came from around Latin America to participate in the People's Summit as a way to try and

00:39get their voices heard by the government officials, UN officials here at the COP30.

00:46Now, that ended yesterday and today, although thousands of people have already returned home

00:52from the People's Summit, hundreds of social movement members and indigenous people have

00:56stayed on to try and insert themselves into events that are ongoing in this conference

01:02which is going to last until the 21st.

01:05Today there was an indigenous People's March and they really upped the security here around

01:10the Green Zone with heightened presence of military troops, military vehicles.

01:16And the event went on without any acts of violence or any problems of any kind.

01:21Meanwhile, housing movements are trying to push for the idea that housing rights are intrinsically

01:28tied to the concept of environmental justice.

01:30So they've been participating both in official events and unofficial events in many of the

01:35parallel events that are happening around the city of Belém.

01:39The MST is hosting an event in the Brazil Pavilion, which is taking off in about half an hour

01:47this evening.

01:48And it's interesting because President Lula said that this was going to be the COP conference

01:54of popular participation.

01:56And so a lot of events have been set up for the indigenous people and the social movements,

02:02but there's still a long way to go.

02:04As Sonia Guajajara, the Brazil's Minister of Indigenous Rights, said yesterday during her

02:10speech at the closing of the People's Summit, in COP 28 in Dubai, there was a ratio of seven

02:18oil and mining industry lobbyists for each indigenous person who participated in the conference.

02:24This year, the ratio has dropped to two, which is an improvement, but it's still really telling

02:30about what kind of conference this is, if there's two oil or mining lobbyists participating

02:35for every indigenous person taking part in the conference.
