Join frontline Indigenous leaders Sonia Guajajara and Eloy Terena of the Association of Brazil's Indigenous Peoples (APIB) this Thursday, February 4th to learn about the impacts of BlackRock's investments on their lives and communities, and the responsibility that BlackRock has to hold itself accountable.
BlackRock continues to be one of the biggest funders of Amazon destruction, holding US $9.2 billion in mining, agribusiness, and energy companies that are complicit in conflicts affecting Indigenous peoples and their territories across the Amazon.
Last year, BlackRock hinted it would take new approaches on deforestation and biodiversity in 2021, and yet its new net-zero by 2050 commitments failed to provide any concrete measures on how the company plans to conduct due diligence on Indigenous rights and deforestation risks.
Indigenous peoples are critical players in protecting the Amazon rainforest and slowing down global warming. Your solidarity is needed to hold BlackRock accountable!
Register in advance to join Sonia and Eloy for this online event on Thursday, February 4th!
