The most inspiring and distinctive feature about COP30 was the resistance, in the form of direct action that multiple Indigenous groups and activists carried out in the first week of COP30. Indeed, after marching and protesting outside the COP, demonstrators forced themselves into the buildings, and occupied the restricted zone of the conference for a short period of time before they were physically forced out by security guards and police. This was a powerful action in which local Indigenous leaders demanded to be heard, stating that their land is not for sale nor up for negotiations.
