At COP30, hundreds of Indigenous Brazilians marched to the conference gates with songs, drums, and the full weight of ancestral knowledge. Their presence paused negotiations and reminded the world that climate justice begins with the people who protect the land. This letter reflects on that powerful moment in Belém and the courage that continues to guide the path forward.

We’re tuning in to COP30 from the islands with muddy feet and hopeful hearts. Climate negotiations aren’t abstract — they ripple straight into our rivers, farms, and futures. So while the world meets in Belém, we’re writing from afar — a series of small letters carried by wind, wi-fi, and one very opinionated corgi. These reflections are our way of staying connected, staying awake, and staying tender as the world decides what comes next.

In a world weighed by crisis, it’s easy to forget: there are victories, there is healing, and we are finding our voice. Every time communities rebuild stronger, the planet exhales a little easier — and yes, even a corgi’s wag can start a wave.
