Next week, government, business, and civil society leaders will meet in New York for Climate Week and the 77th U.N. General Assembly. Amazon Watch will be there in solidarity with Indigenous leaders from the Amazon demanding climate justice, calling for the permanent protection of the Amazon, and pushing banks to stop financing Amazon destruction.

You can amplify this work by participating in an event this week!

• On Monday, September 19 at 6 pm ET, join us and Brazilian Indigenous leaders from the Association of Brazil's Indigenous Peoples (APIB) in a discussion about our latest joint exposé “Blood Gold.” The publication explores the impacts of illegal gold mining on Indigenous lands and details how the supply chains of the planet’s most valuable electronics and electric car companies may be tainted by this conflict commodity. Join us at the People’s Forum in NYC in person, or register to watch online.
• On Wednesday, September 21 at 2 pm ET, we invite you to join an intimate conversation with Peruvian Indigenous leaders – who will be releasing a scathing report on the risks U.S. banks assume when looking to finance Petroperú. This company has a reputation filled with corruption scandals, rights violations, pollution, and environmental crimes. Register here to join Shapiom from the Achuar and Nelton from the Wampis community working to keep Petroperú out of their territories!

You can get involved in Climate Week through panels, events, and actions that we’re hosting with Indigenous delegates and NGO allies. Your voice is needed to amplify Indigenous voices and solutions, and to secure climate justice. We hope you can join us!
