A Just Transition = Indigenous Self-Determination
Transition is inevitable. Justice is not.
The push for a sustainable transition predominantly centers “green” technologies that continue to threaten the self-determination and sovereignty of Indigenous peoples worldwide. Instead, a just future depends on centering Indigenous-led, place-based climate solutions and supporting intersectional efforts to guarantee the rights of all people.
Join the Securing Indigenous Peoples’ Rights in the Green Economy (SIRGE) Coalition and A Growing Culture during the NYC Climate Week to learn about how Indigenous and peasant leaders are taking action to hold companies accountable to human rights commitments through the supply chain.

Una Transición Justa = Autodeterminación Indígena
La transición es inevitable. La justicia no lo es.
El impulso por una transición sostenible se centra predominantemente en las tecnologías “verdes” que continúan amenazando la autodeterminación y la soberanía de los Pueblos Indígenas en todo el mundo. En cambio, un futuro justo depende de centrar las soluciones climáticas basadas en el lugar y dirigidas por Indígenas y apoyar los esfuerzos interseccionales para garantizar los derechos de todas las personas.
Únase a la Coalición Asegurando los Derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas en la Economía Verde (SIRGE) y una cultura en crecimiento durante la Semana del Clima de Nueva York para conocer cómo los líderes Indígenas y campesinos están tomando medidas para responsabilizar a las empresas por los compromisos de derechos humanos a través de la cadena de suministro.
