The historian Douglas Belchior, from the Black Coalition for Rights, participated in the most important discussions of civil society and subnational groups at COP26 in Glasgow. “Debate on the climate is a debate on human rights . It concerns the lives of people who occupy territories and who are, along with the territories, victims of economic interests that suck from nature everything that it has of wealth without bothering to replace it, just as it sucks the life from the people. Climate justice is about the right to life,” he told the Geledés website .
