Whilst climate representatives convene at the UN environmental conference, simultaneous events are taking place nearby to amplify viewpoints often overlooked from official negotiations.

Representatives of the Amazon's indigenous communities were gathering at the city's university for the inauguration of a alternative Public Assembly.
Pictures depicted attendees dancing, vocalizing and socializing at the gathering, on the premises of the educational institution, just kilometers from the negotiation location where the global environmental conference is being held.
"At this venue we are listened to, here our concerns are taken seriously," commented one attendee at the gathering.
Meaningful Venue for Global Talks

Growing Countries Demand Equitable Change
Emerging economies, in the form of the coalition of nations, have called for a "just transition mechanism" to coordinate resources and help nations transition to a low-carbon future.
However, some developed states have dismissed the necessity for the new mechanism, arguing that a just transition should remain a internal matter.

Arranged in conjunction with the global talks, the public assembly will continue through the coming days, with meetings planned to create a document to be submitted to conference delegates.
