After years of virtual events, thousands gathered in New York City for Climate Week 2022 and the United Nations General Assembly to hold global leaders accountable for the escalating climate crisis. The presence of Indigenous peoples was more important than ever.

We joined Indigenous and climate justice allies and accompanied Indigenous leaders from across the Amazon. The presence of Indigenous Brazilian leaders was powerful, as the country heads toward presidential elections that will determine the fate of the Amazon. Even if Bolsonaro loses the election in October, taking back the reins of destruction and rights violations will be a difficult job for Lula.

We also supported Indigenous leaders from the Peruvian Amazon in a virtual release of the report, The Risks of Investing in Petroperú. The message from the Wampis was clear: “If banks want to waste their money, they can keep investing in Petroperú or in any oil company trying to enter Block 64.”

With major moments ahead determining the fate of the rainforest, we brought demands of Indigenous peoples to the forefront, naming and shaming major corporations complicit in Amazon destruction.
