Protesters clash with security at COP30 climate talks in Brazil
Scuffles erupted at COP30 climate talks in Belém, Brazil, as protesters clashed with UN security, some dressed in traditional indigenous attire and waving "our land is not for sale" flags. Security personnel attempted to block demonstrators from entering the venue, causing congestion at the entrance. Delegates from almost 200 countries are participating in the UN climate talks near the Amazon rainforest in Belém this week.
