Social Caravan Heads to COP30
The groups advocate for family farming and sustainable models while rejecting large-scale logistics corridor projects for commodity chains such as soybeans.
Indigenous peoples and social movements announced the Caravan of Response, a mobilization traveling over 3,000 kilometers from Mato Grosso to Belém, en route to the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30), which kicked off on October 25.
- The 14-day journey will cover both land and water, via the Tapajós and Amazon rivers.
- Stops at ports are planned for joint actions with local communities.
The goal is to denounce the impacts of monoculture and large agribusiness logistics corridors in the Amazon and Cerrado.
More than 300 participants from dozens of organizations, peoples, and traditional communities will travel along the so-called “soybean route.”
Throughout the journey, public events, cultural demonstrations, and dialogue sessions with local communities are planned.
