Indigenous Peoples Are Key To Navigating The Climate Crisis. We Deserve A Seat At The Table

This grim threshold, one set by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), intended to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, underscores the urgency of the moment. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] As the clock ticks down on the time we have left to redirect our Earth toward a more sustainable future, it is now more important than ever that Indigenous Peoples have a bigger seat at the table. After all, Indigenous Peoples are the world’s greatest protectors of the environment.
