The Bolivarian Republic will present a concrete action agenda at this important event, scheduled for November 10-21. This agenda stems from the World Congress in Defense of Mother Earth, held in Caracas from October 8-10 with over 3,000 delegates from 63 countries.

In the Final Declaration of this meeting, participants stated that Belém will be a propitious setting to demand “climate justice” and denounced that capitalism and its capital have generated an “irreversible metabolic fracture, turning rivers, forests, and living beings into commodities.”

They affirmed that, faced with this civilizational crisis, “we are not here to beg for crumbs from those responsible for the capitalist climate collapse, but to impose our alternatives.”

The social movements, environmentalists, scientists, and representatives of Indigenous peoples participating in the meeting in Venezuela agreed to bring to COP30, which began the previous day with this Leaders’ Summit, the promotion of a “strategic alliance between ancestral knowledge and critical science.”
