"We are not the ones who are creating the pollution, the ones who are making the problem, but we are the people who are being killed by it. This is environmental genocide."
------
Considering the daunting reality that the Amazon is at the tipping point, we attended COP26 in Glasgow in solidarity with our partners to support the urgent call to permanently protect 80% of the Amazon by 2025.
We went to amplify Amazonian Indigenous voices, solutions, and resistance, in particular women and youth defenders; denounce false solutions, including forest-carbon offsets and net-zero commitments; and to call for banks to exit Amazon oil and gas.
While the Glasgow Pact does not meet the action needed to address the climate emergency, the civil society presence was truly inspiring. Indigenous peoples, frontline communities, women, and youth attended in full force organizing for climate justice and against the fossil fuel industry, which held significant influence over the official negotiations at COP26.
