A group of climate activists is cycling to the world’s biggest climate summit — and doing it without stepping onto a plane.
Hundreds of riders pedaled across Europe in recent weeks, converging in Portugal, where a group boarded a sailboat bound for Brazil. Their destination: Belem, the Amazonian city hosting the U.N. COP30 climate talks in November. The summit is expected to draw tens of thousands of negotiators, scientists and activists, with governments under pressure to agree on stronger measures to protect the Amazon and phase out fossil fuels.
