Prince William Concludes Brazil Trip With Indigenous Meetings, Stays Focused on Climate Action

The visit underscored his strategy of elevating indigenous stewardship as a climate solution.

Overview

  • In Belém, he met leaders at the Museu Emílio Goeldi, praised them as "guardians" and pledged support for communities safeguarding the Amazon.
  • Indigenous representative Juma Xipaia told him she has received six death threats and described violence, organized‑crime pressure and stalled justice in their territories.
  • At COP30, he argued that securing land rights for Indigenous peoples lowers deforestation, enriches biodiversity and improves carbon storage.
  • Earlier in the week, his Royal Foundation and United for Wildlife announced new funding to back Indigenous advocates protecting the Amazon.
  • Pressed about Prince Andrew and family rifts, he declined to engage and redirected to Earthshot, as King Charles formally stripped Andrew of his HRH style and prince title by Letters Patent.
