In the midst of backdoor deals, idle chit chat and conversations over plates of endangered species and "clean coal," the Indigenous Environmental Network takes a firm stance on climate justice. Three documents were released last weekend outlining the demands and plans on behalf of people and planet over profit. The declaration called on world leaders to keep fossil fuels in the ground. Led by Indigenous peoples and signed by over 150 organizations, the announcement from Indigenous women leaders from North and South America amounted to a treaty to protect Mother Earth. Includes a presentation of the Kawsak Sacha “Living Forest” proposal from the Amazon rainforest by the Kichwa Indigenous people of Sarayaku.
