Vanessa Kirby Instagram – @amazonfrontlines World leaders at COP26 recently pledged to stop deforestation by 2030 and to provide $1.7 billion in financing to Indigenous land stewardship. These declarations offer new hope, but decisive action is needed to deliver on its promise. As the rainforest quickly approaches an irreversible tipping point, we need swift action NOW. This starts with listening to and directing resources to Indigenous peoples who have been on the frontlines defending the forest and our shared planet for generations. In our latest Chronicles post, we offer three concrete pathways to ensure decisive climate action: secure land tenure for Indigenous peoples, secure rights for Indigenous peoples, and shift course on post-COVID recovery plans that prioritize oil and mining over the rights of nature and of Indigenous peoples. As much as past failures invite skepticism, the stakes have simply become too high to abandon hope. Head to the link in our bio to learn more.
