"Indigenous peoples are on the vanguard of climate action. Longstanding
relationships with land means they endure the direct consequences of climate
change. And their unique knowledge offers effective solutions to climate
problems.
But despite this, international climate policies have fallen short of
encouraging Indigenous leadership. With the UN climate summit hosted in the
Amazon for the first time, COP30 marks an unprecedented effort to elevate
Indigenous voices.
Returning to Brazil again after the 1992 and 2012 Rio conferences, COP30 has
the largest Indigenous delegation in the summit’s history. More than 3,000
Indigenous representatives from around the world are in the Amazonian city of
Belém.
Inside and outside the negotiation rooms, Indigenous organisations and
coalitions have brought an unprecedented agenda to the summit: pressure for
climate justice centred on the recognition of land rights and fair financing
mechanisms."
