Cop30 live: Brazil aims for early agreement on ‘big four’ issues
In an unorthodox move, the Brazilian organisers have hatched an unorthodox plan to wrap up the trickiest topics at the climate summit by this evening, two days earlier than normalThe militarisation of the space around Cop30 has been “confusing and disappointing”, Mexican climate activist Maria Reyes has said.Speaking at the Climate Justice Hub at the UN climate summit, Reyes, who campaigns with the Alliance of Non-Governmental Radical Youth (Angry), told the Guardian.This is my fifth COP. I’ve been around since COP26 in Glasgow and this has been the most militarised COP I’ve attended. We had really high expectations because I’m from Latin America, and this is also the Latin American COP – apart from the Amazonian and the Brazilian Cop.So we had really high expectations of also being able to demonstrate, protest and exercise our right to the civic space. But we have encountered heavy militarisation and a heavy crackdown on civil society protesting outside the venue.I think it’s very disconcerting. Like it was definitely a very racist letter where the UN seems to want to inflict power over the autonomous territory of Brazilian authorities.I think this is a confrontation that is needed. What’s happening in between civil society, the military and the UN, it’s a reflection of the tension that exists within this space. So I hope for this COP that the United Nations authorities and the Brazilian authorities open their eyes and they realise that what they are doing, what they are inflicting with the militarisation of COP is completely opposite of what they have been preaching in the last three years.Brazil knew that they wanted to host this COP since three years ago, probably even earlier. So the way that they are responding to it does not show that they were ready to receive all this flow of international civil society. So my hope is that they can release, relax the heavy militarization that they’re putting in the space and allow us to use the civic space to demonstrate. Continue reading...
