Oil and gas companies are ‘Indigenous-washing’ ads to drum up support for projects on First Nation lands.

New blog: Who exploits the gas reserves off the Gaza coast has long been an issue of contention between Israel & the Palestinians, stretching back over a quarter of a century. The exploitation of reserves is intertwined with the current genocide. 👇priceofoil.org/2024/01/11/ga…

When talking about Protecting the Climate Vulnerable at the #WEF23 #Openforum we must remember:
It’s not just about climate impacts.
It's about saving lives of Indigenous Peoples who defend nature against extractive oil and mining corporations.
It's about #PeopleNotProfit.

We often hear that ‘Indigenous People are 5% of world’s population & protecting 80% of world’s biodiversity.’ What happens on Indigenous territories must be decided by Indigenous People. I spoke w @democracynow on what’s missing in outcomes of #COP15 democracynow.org/2022/12/21/…
#COP15 outcome “The ratification of the global 30×30 initiative, is nothing more than manifest destiny in the 21st century. This will lead to the largest land & resource grab of Indigenous Peoples’ territories since westward expansion.” Thomas Joseph @IENearth
See IEN’s statement on #UNCBD #COP15: HARMFUL INSTRUMENTS, FALSE SOLUTIONS, AND PRIVATE INTERESTS TAKE OVER GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY SUMMIT
Another COP that prioritized false solutions over protecting Mother Earth‼️ #NoFalseSolutions

‘I envision a world where the children – your children, our children – do not have to fight for the future of humanity.’
That was my answer to what I envision for the future when asked at the High-Level Closing ceremony of #COP27

#COP27 While negotiators are in COP27, indigenous leaders are still threatened for defending their territories. We believe the climate negotiations only make sense if they protect the rights of indigenous peoples, the true protectors of humanity's tomorrow.

Indigenous Knowledge offers invaluable solutions to the climate crisis.
At #COP27, experts made it clear: including Indigenous voices in all regional, national, and global climate change decisions is imperative.
