Environment & Energy

I agree with most of what's in the UNFCC's letter to COP30 President Ambassador Andre Correa de Lago & Rui Costs dos Santos, the chief of staff for Brazilian President Lula De Silva, regarding "the complaints about stifling indoor conditions, leaky roofs and non-working restrooms at COP30."

However, (from the OP):
"Stiell's letter drew immediate criticism from the Human Rights and Climate Change Working Group, a coalition of more than 200 non-governmental organizations. They responded to the UNFCC this week, charging that the request for increased security would have 'negative consequences'...on human rights, in particular of Indigenous Peoples, Environmental and Human Rights Defenders, and of those wishing to exercise their right to peaceful protest."

I don't think the COP30 delegates were in any danger from the protesters.
