The Assembly of the Indigenous Peoples of the Isthmus in Defense of Land and Territory (APIIDTT) has announced that the Mesoamerican Caravan for Climate and Life is now on its way from Mexico to Brazil for the COP30 climate summit.
The APIIDTT website notes: “Today, October 12, 2025, the day of indigenous dignity and resistance, the Mesoamerican Caravan for Climate and Life begins its journey from Guatemala to the south of the continent, crossing territories in struggle in El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador and Brazil.”
“It is a journey through wounded and dignified territories, through geographies marked by extractivism, displacement, criminalization and death, but also by organization, rebellion and life that refuses to surrender.”
Their article further highlights: “We call on civil society throughout the region and the world to remain attentive to the route of this caravan. …We call on human rights organizations to observe, denounce and document the abuses and violations we face at the border crossing and in every community criminalized for defending life.”
Peace Brigades International-Canada has responded to that call and is attentive to the caravan’s journey.
Desinformémonos also reports: “The journey of the Mesoamerican Caravan for Climate and Life has just begun. After leaving Mexico City, they will cross the southern border to Coatepeque, Guatemala, where on October 12 they will resume their activities with a press conference in the company of indigenous and peasant movements in the region.”

That article also reports that in the days to come they will be meeting with various organizations, defenders and communities, notably: “They will be received by the Civic Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH).”
We add that the Peace Brigades International-Honduras Project has accompanied COPINH since May 2016.
We continue to follow this.
