3.6 Billion people are highly vulnerable to Climate Change. As we face worsening storms, floods, heatwaves and wildfires, Governments put the profits of fossil fuel corporations before people’s lives.
Assemble in All Saints Park, Oxford Road, Manchester from 1.30pm
During the COP30 talks join the Manchester march and rally for Climate Justice.
What are the UN climate talks?
The UN climate talks are an important space for convening the world’s decision makers, experts and community leaders to tackle climate change. This year’s “conference of the parties” (COP) will be the 30th meeting of this kind and is taking place in Brazil for 2 weeks in November 2025.
What will be the key issues at COP 30?
This year’s talks come at a crucial time for climate action. With the summit taking place in the Brazilian Amazon, efforts to protect the world’s forests will likely dominate the conversation.
What do Friends of the Earth want to see at COP30?
Friends of the Earth will be urging the UK government to show maximum ambition and drive for ending global deforestation. This includes putting Planet Over Profit by adopting a new law to hold UK businesses to account for harm caused to communities and the environment around the world.
The UK must recognise Indigenous peoples and local communities as defenders of the world’s forests and as climate leaders. With the UK’s finance pledges for forests running out in 2026 and the 2030 deadline for ending global deforestation fast approaching, this is the moment for bold action. We need to see the UK government commit to a larger, long-term forest pledge that boosts direct funding for Indigenous Peoples and local community-led solutions and secures land rights for the forest defenders on the front line of the climate crisis.
See the Friends of the Earth “What’s COP 30 and why does it matter?” briefing for more details about the COP30 climate talks and what Friends of the Earth are calling on Governments to agree and do.

Manchester Friends of the Earth supporters and FoE supporters from across the North West will be joining the COP30 march and rally.
