** 12 Things You Can Do on International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples
------------------------------------------------------------

The International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples is observed on August 9 each year to promote and protect the rights of Indigenous Peoples around the world. The date commemorates the first United Nations Working Group on Indigenous Populations meeting in Geneva in 1982.

We encourage you to observe this day by deepening your understanding of Indigenous issues around the world, listening to Indigenous voices, and reflecting on the vital achievements and contributions that Indigenous Peoples make to the world, including how their leadership and stewardship creates a more sustainable and healthy world for us all.

This year’s theme is "Leaving no one behind: Indigenous Peoples and the call for a new social contract."

El tema de este año para el Día de los Pueblos Indígenas es “No dejar a nadie atrás: los Pueblos Indígenas y el llamado a un nuevo contrato social”. Este especial de radio está dedicado al orgullo de ser Indígena y a los esfuerzos de las y los hermanos de diferentes pueblos de Abya Yala para trabajar en defensa de la vida, la tierra, el territorio, idiomas y nuestras cosmogonías en la misión de la recuperación del equilibrio natural.


** 3. Join us at this Twitter chat with CLIMA FUND on Monday, August 9 at 10am PST/ 1pm EST.
------------------------------------------------------------

Indigenous Peoples protect 80% of the world’s biodiversity, while comprising less than 5% of the global population. Strengthening and expanding Indigenous Peoples’ right to manage land alone can reduce the same amount of greenhouse emissions as the United States would emit by 2050. Yet, climate action led by Indigenous Peoples is chronically underfunded, accounting for less than 2% of global giving. The CLIMA Fund is hosting a global Twitter chat to commemorate the International Day of World's Indigenous Peoples and share how funding climate solutions led by Indigenous Peoples can be one of philanthropy’s ‘big bets’ in the climate crisis.

Join us by following our Twitter feed ([link removed]) @CSORG, #FundingIndigenousAction, or @Grassrootsfund.
