What are the big issues that COP30 needs to address? What are your hopes for the negotiations?

I hope this is going to be the best COP since the Paris Agreement, because the Brazilian government is already bringing more than 3 thousand indigenous people, implementing inclusions such as opening the green zone for all the Belem population and Lula (the president of Brazil) affirms that it is going to be the COP of the people and that the minority will be heard in the negotiations.

The big issue is that the Petrobras (Brazilian oil and gas company) is going to drill petrol/ oil from the Amazon basins

What's your message for world leaders at COP30?

If you do not change, the climate will

Do you have any tips about climate action that you can share?

We need change the collective, not the individual.
