Indigenous people hold signs reading "The answer is us" and "End of fossil fuels, no mining in our territories" during a march on the sidelines of the COP30 UN Climate Change Conference in Belem, Brazil

More than 30 countries have co-signed a letter opposing Brazil's draft proposal at the UN climate conference because it fails to include a roadmap phasing out fossil fuels, the Colombian delegation told AFP on Thursday.

COP30 is scheduled to end Friday evening, after a dramatic blaze at the venue in Belem brought a premature close to Thursday's proceedings.
