COP30 – The march in Belém echoes around the world: 50,000 people for climate justice

March

On the 15th of November, Belém woke up to the sounds of drums and maracas, determined footsteps and key words. In the city overlooking the great rainforest of the Amazon, more than 50,000 people took part in the People’s March for Climate Justice: a human river, a wave, that from the People’s Summit has crossed streets as a reminder for the wounded Earth.

How Nature-Based Solutions can help us redefine our resilience

Nature

In a world increasingly shaped by climate extremes and urban expansion, nature-based solutions (NbS) are gaining attention as a hopeful alternative to purely engineered fixes. They promise not just to protect cities from heat, floods, and erosion, but to redefine how humans coexist with the ecosystems that sustain them. In this conversation with researcher Charles Hatfield, we explore how NbS can blend science, equity, and imagination—from mangrove restoration and geoinformatics to questions of health, policy, and ethics. The result is a portrait of resilience that grows not from control, but from collaboration with nature.
