MEDIA ADVISORY

For Immediate Release

“Opportunitity for media interactions and interview”

Belém, Brazil—The story of oil drilling in Brazil at the mouth of the Amazon River as it hosts COP30 has gone global, but too little has been heard from folks on the frontline of oil expansion, especially Brazil’s traditional fishing, farming, and forest communities whose livelihoods are threatened.

Brazil’s leadership at C0P30 is crucial to help Global South countries hold the Global North accountable for historical emissions, to do their fair share, and to provide climate finance and technology. Yet the “COP of truth” and a most inclusive COP that improves the lives of everyday people can not ignore the consequences of Amazon oil.

Please join members of Marajo Island and Amapa Afro-descendant and Indigenous communities who have come to Belem to be heard and seen before the COP30 venue.  

WHEN Thursday, November 13, 5.30pm

WHERE Outside the exit gate’s badge scanning of the COP30 venue
