00:01Activists from several environmental organizations protesting in the Brazilian city of Belem

00:06on the Amazon River.

00:07Ahead of the 30th edition of the annual United Nations Climate Change Summit, they're highlighting

00:12slow progress, saying the clock is ticking for the planet.

00:16They're calling on delegates to COP30, which gets underway in the city in a few days'

00:20time, to take greater action to combat climate change.

00:25What's happening in the world when we think of climate change?

00:58So activists are hoping for fewer promises and more action when the main summit gets underway

01:03on Monday.

01:05The protests come as dozens of world leaders, including from Africa, meet in Belem ahead of

01:16China, the United States, India and Russia.

01:25All of them areигр Aboriginal and more important.

01:26They want to be part of theirانos.

01:27All of them are also the same.

01:28They want to be part of the community, where they will be the same.

01:29You can stay in the same temperature.

01:29You can stay in the same position.

01:30That's not how you want to be part of your career now.

01:31You have a single master of the world's five most polluting.
