The 2025 climate conference, COP30, takes place in the Amazonian city of Belém, drawing all eyes to the Amazon rainforest. An important moment for the Voices for Just Climate Action (VCA) program in Brazil to amplify the pivotal voices of the rainforest.
“Indigenous peoples are on the frontline of the climate emergency. That’s why we must be at the center of the decisions that take place here.”
