Indigenous peoples and local communities play an important role in finding climate solutions
We must be the good caretaker and not the bad landlords. It’s not just Indigenous Peoples, it’s all human beings. It’s all plant life, it’s all water bodies, our sky relatives. We are all related.
Great-Grandmother Mary Lyons, LCIPP Annual Gathering of Knowledge Holders at COP 28
Agricultural practices that include indigenous and local knowledge can contribute to overcoming the combined challenges of climate change, food security, biodiversity conservation, and combating desertification and land degradation
IPCC, 2019
Indigenous people must be part of the solution to climate change. This is because you have the traditional knowledge of your ancestors. The important value of that knowledge simply cannot—and must not—be understated. You are also essential in finding solutions today and in the future. The Paris Climate Change Agreement recognizes this. It recognizes your role in building a world that is resilient in the face of climate impacts
Patricia Espinosa, Former Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC
