Hi John -
Imagine a future where Indigenous voices lead the world’s biggest climate talks. Where people who have cared for our planet for generations shape the solutions to the climate crisis.
Last week at COP29, Indigenous leaders from Brazil, Australia, and the Pacific formed a powerful new alliance to make that future a reality1.
Next year’s important UN climate conference will be held in the Brazilian Amazon2. Indigenous leaders in Brazil are now urging their government to give them a seat at the table, as co-hosts of COP30. They know the way forward: real climate action must be rooted in justice.
I want to support Brazil's Indigenous People's demand »
Right now at COP29, fossil fuel lobbyists vastly outnumber Indigenous voices. They work to delay climate action, and push hard for policies that protect polluters over people3.
The new alliance of Indigenous voices is a chance to change the balance of power. Indigenous People of the Amazon have joined forces with those of Australia and the Pacific. Together they’re demanding shared leadership of future climate talks — COP30 in Brazil next year, and COP31 in Australia in 2026.
Thanks to the campaign just launched in Brazil4, we now have a real opportunity to show our support and solidarity with Indigenous People. No matter where we live in the world.
By signing in support of their demands, you’re adding your voice to a call for action led by people who know best what’s at stake — and what needs to be done.
Together, we can help the voices of Indigenous Peoples be heard more loudly around the world. Brazil’s Indigenous leaders make a powerful case: “We are the answer.” Supporting them shows the world which side we’re on — the side of climate justice, and a safe future for all.
Onward,
Marcel Taminato, from Brazil for 350.org
