International Climate Justice
Upholding Our Rights
We have a responsibility to stay involved, informed and active in international spaces where global colonial leaders are negotiating plans and actions that directly impact our rights.
International spaces have historically treated Indigenous peoples as stakeholders with no more rights than environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGO) despite decades of legal challenges and UN declarations that support otherwise.
En las últimas tres décadas, los pueblos indígenas han impulsado algunas de las políticas climáticas más sólidas, basadas en nuestros derechos, lengua, cultura e identidades, profundizando en la apreciación colectiva de la ley natural y la importancia de los sistemas naturales vivos como fundamentales para la supervivencia en este planeta.

UNFCCC United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is an international agreement by 198 nation-states to address climate change. It was signed at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and came into force in 1994. The following year, the United Nations began hosting a yearly climate conference to act as the formal meeting of the UNFCCC Parties (nation-states) which came to be known as the Conference of the Parties (COP).
"Los pueblos indígenas han sido algunos de los defensores más formidables del cambio climático como cuestión política mundial. Hemos reclamado los objetivos, la mitigación y las estrategias de adaptación más progresistas del mundo y nuestras comunidades están respondiendo a la crisis climática de formas que se basan en nuestros sistemas de conocimiento tradicionales y fusionan las tecnologías coloniales para crear soluciones climáticas energéticas, alimentarias y económicas sostenibles y controladas localmente."
