** Calling Indigenous Youth Land and Life Defenders
------------------------------------------------------------
Cultural Survival’s Indigenous Youth Fellowship Project supports young Indigenous leaders between the ages of 17-28 in creating and disseminating knowledge through creative ways and critical thinking. It is an opportunity to build capacities in Indigenous rights, Indigenous languages, cultures, and Traditional Knowledge. Fellows work to represent the voices of their communities and bring awareness of local issues to global conversations through their proposed projects while strengthening their cultural identities and leadership.
THE ISSUE:
Transition minerals such as nickel, lithium, cobalt, and copper are essential to the transition to a green economy. The growing dependence on battery technology, especially for electric vehicles, requires a much higher supply of transition minerals. Demand for these minerals is skyrocketing and the need for increased mining threatens Indigenous rights and territories. A Just Transition to a green economy cannot happen without governments and companies respecting, protecting, and fulfilling the rights of Indigenous Peoples enshrined in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, including the right to Free, Prior and Informed Consent. The transition to renewable energy must be just and equitable and accompanied by a simultaneous transformation away from irresponsible and harmful practices of extractive industries. Companies must transform their supply chains and ensure the rights of Indigenous Peoples, and all rights holders, are respected.
INDIGENOUS YOUTH FELLOWSHIPS:
Indigenous Youth Fellows are individuals or groups of young people willing to take action in response to the threat of irresponsible and harmful mining activities in their communities or to raise awareness about the need for more circular economies that will positively impact the livelihoods of Indigenous communities, the environment, and biological diversity.
Eligible countries and regions: Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Panama, Venezuela, United States (including US unincorporated territories of Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands), Canada, Australia, DRC, Uganda, Indonesia, Sweden, Finland, Greenland, and Norway.
Application Deadline: April 28, 2023

** Convocatoria Abierta Jóvenes Indígenas Defendores Dela Tierra y La Vida
------------------------------------------------------------
El Proyecto de Becas para Jóvenes Indígenas de Cultural Survival se creó para apoyar a jóvenes líderes Indígenas de entre 17 y 28 años en la creación y difusión de conocimientos a través de formas creativas y pensamiento crítico. Es una oportunidad para desarrollar capacidades en derechos Indígenas, lenguas Indígenas, culturas y conocimientos tradicionales. Los becarios trabajan para representar las voces de sus comunidades y llevar la conciencia de los problemas locales a las conversaciones globales a través de sus proyectos propuestos mientras fortalecen sus identidades culturales y su liderazgo.
LA PROBLEMATICA:
Los minerales de energía renovable como el níquel, el litio, el cobalto y el cobre son fundamentales para el desarrollo de una economía verde y baja en carbono. La creciente dependencia de la tecnología de baterías, especialmente para los vehículos eléctricos, requiere un suministro mucho mayor de minerales de energía renovable. La demanda de minerales de transición se está disparando. Sin embargo, el aumento de la minería de estos recursos amenaza los derechos y territorios indígenas. Una transición justa hacia una economía baja en carbono respetando que los gobiernos y las empresas involucradas en la nueva economía verde observen e implementen los derechos incluidos en la Declaración de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas, incluido el derecho a la Consulta Libre, Previa e Informada.
Nuestra transición a fuentes de energía renovable debe ser justa y equitativa, y estar acompañada de una transformación simultánea que nos aleje de la minería irresponsable.
BECAS PARA JÓVENES INDÍGENAS:
Los Becarios Jóvenes Indígenas son individuos o grupos de jóvenes dispuestos a tomar medidas en respuesta a la amenaza de actividades mineras irresponsables y dañinas en sus comunidades o para crear conciencia sobre la necesidad de economías más circulares que impactarán positivamente los medios de vida de las comunidades indígenas, la medio ambiente y la diversidad biológica.
Países y regiones elegibles: México, Brasil, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Perú, Panamá, Venezuela, Estados Unidos (incluidos los territorios no incorporados de EE. UU. de Samoa, Guam, las Islas Marianas del Norte, Puerto Rico y las Islas Vírgenes de EE. UU.), Canadá, Australia, República Democrática del Congo, Uganda, Indonesia, Suecia, Finlandia, Groenlandia y Noruega.
La fecha límite para posutularse: 28 de abril de 2023.
