MEDIA ADVISORY 

WHEN: Monday, November 10, 05:00 PM Belem time (UTC-3)

WHERE: The Agrizone, an exclusive corporate-sponsored agribusiness zone. Spokespeople will be available for interviews nearby. Contact Isabel at +63 926 734 5712 (WhatsApp/Signal) for precise location. 

WHAT: On the first day of COP30, November 10, activists from around the world will hold a mass mobilization in front of the Agrizone, an exclusive zone dedicated entirely to agribusiness interests and sponsored by Nestle and Bayer. This marks the first year that COP will feature an “agrizone”, the latest development in the growing trend of COP being co-opted by big polluters.

Despite being a major driver of deforestation and contributing a third of global emissions, industrial agriculture has been allowed to take over the world’s only multilateral decision-making forum on climate change. Tomorrow, climate campaigners are taking over the Agrizone to reject big business’ greenwashing and push polluters out of COP.

WHO: 50+ activists from the Asian Peoples’ Movement on Debt and Development (APMDD), World Animal Protection (WAP), Global Forest Coalition (GFC), and other members of the Global Campaign to Demand Climate Justice.

Spokespeople from global/regional movements spanning the issues of climate, food, and agriculture will be available for interviews throughout the action.
