Brazil's River Tragedy: 10 Years of Injustice

On November 5, 2015, a mining dam burst in Brazil, causing a catastrophic disaster that killed 19 people and contaminated the Doce River. Ten years later, the river remains polluted, and the Indigenous Krenak people, who rely on it, are still waiting for reconstruction and reparations. Brazil, set to host the COP30 climate summit, faces criticism for its environmental record, with recent legislative changes threatening its climate goals. Indigenous leaders, including Shirley Krenak, are boycotting the summit, viewing it as 'greenwashing' and emphasizing the need for true climate action that protects rivers, forests, and Indigenous territories.
