Wonderful message and video
"Today I had the honor of accompanying Queen Mary Donaldson of Denmark to the Veronica Tembé Memorial, a space of memory, resistance and ancestry of the Tembé people. The Queen experienced the sacred dance with us, listened to the indigenous voices, and made a speech she recognizes: there is no true reconciliation without the historical roots being seen.
Seeing this meeting made me see the power of presence: of bodies that have never been erased, of culture that is not sold, of knowing that it is still alive.
May this symbolic moment be a light for real actions, so that the worlds that have met today can walk together, with respect, recognition and partnership.

Love this! Very powerful! Do we know if this was an anticipated speech she made or was she speaking off the cuff? If so, she was amazing at putting words to a moment on the spot. That, to me, shows that she allows herself to be present in the moment and the participants of the event and really focuses on the meaning/purpose.
Queen Mary is of course not visiting the African pavilion and Amazon projects just for fun. DK became a member of the UN security Council supported by a number of countries that are feeling the affects of the climate change or very soon will. DK being in the forefront in regards to green solution is at the council to advocate on behalf of these countries and try a make a difference in regards to try and at least soften the effects of the climate changes. (Alas, as the political climate is right now, our grandchildren are going to have to face some serious problems and they wont thank us for doing so little.)
But a number of countries both have a great interest (as in seeing opportunities) as well as from sheer necessity in coming up with solutions to adapt to future climate changes and the means new crops, new agricultural methods and even more sustainable solutions. And of course that both serves as inspiration for DK as well, but also provides ideas for new initiatives and provides a first hand impression of what might work in the long run. And as such may get support both politically as well as financially.

According to Peter Tanev, Queen Mary makes a significant impression with her presence at the climate summit.
In Brazil, you meet a queen who is both well-prepared and committed, and who manages to put into words some of the same points as the heads of state at COP30 do, he says.
- She has captured the right agendas, says Peter Tanev.
He also points out how meeting local populations and the places the Queen has visited has made a great impression on her.
- When she first started talking about what she has experienced, she was almost unstoppable, he says.

"Climate change is a reality – we are where we are," she says.
She emphasizes that it is not just about ambition, but also about making things happen – and about ensuring that there is funding for it.
According to the Queen, innovation plays a key role, and Denmark has a lot to offer in this area.
At the same time, she emphasizes that it requires a joint effort if the climate crisis is to be handled.
"We have to be in this together, because we are in the same boat," she says.
