THERE’S NO SOLUTION TO CLIMATE CRISIS WITHOUT INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND LANDS

THERE’S NO SOLUTION TO CLIMATE CRISIS WITHOUT INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND LANDS

Once again, APIB participates in the COP with indigenous leaders from all regions of Brazil to demand urgent actions to address the climate crisis. Our original rights must be respected and the demarcation of Indigenous Lands must be part of the central axis of strategies for a possible future.

We will be in Egypt to ensure that global leaders do not talk about our lives without our presence. We want to present the proposals of the Brazilian Indigenous movement for the climate confrontation.

The COP26, which took place in 2021 in Glasgow, Scotland, marked five years since the signing of the Paris Agreement and culminated in the Climate Pact, which maintained the goal of containing global warming to 1.5 º C. In that year, progress was made to make the Paris Agreement operational, finalising the details for its practical implementation, also known as the Paris Rule Book.

The COP27 intends to plan the implementation of all the promises made, in 2021, such as forest protection and climate finance. In Egypt, it is expected to negotiate points such as:

• “Loss and damage” financing so that countries on the frontline of the crisis can deal with the consequences of climate change that go beyond what they can adapt
• Fulfilling the pledge of $100 billion each year of adaptation funding from developed nations to low-income countries.
• The way in which nations must measure their emissions in a practical way so that there is a level playing field for all.

Indigenous Peoples and Lands are the Reservoir for LIFE on the Planet

Demarcating our Lands and recognizing the rights of Indigenous Peoples is the best strategy against the climate crisis.

Supporting Indigenous Peoples and local communities in their traditional practices is the strategy to protect and restore ecosystems and build not only a contingency plan for the climate crisis, but also a plan for the future.
