More than 200 #INDIGENOUS organisations behind clear message to donors at #COP27: #climate finance must be aligned with the UN Declaration on the Rights of #IndigenousPeoples to be effective https://t.co/RwZQjAkdDQ

The ambition of Target 3 will not be realized without full respect for the rights of IPLCs. T3 needs to explicitly include recognition of “Indigenous peoples' territories & customary lands & waters" in the text as an alternative option to protected areas & OECMs. @CBD_COP15

[Helen Tugendhat @helentugendhat]

These negotiations will continue this week: these messages are crucial

Lors de #COP15, la question du financement des peuples #autochtones est cruciale, car la protection de la #biodiversité dépend de leurs connaissances, territoires et ressources. Lisez ici les recommandations visant à aligner #financement sur les #droits https://t.co/dVgbmSHSYz

En #COP15 la cuestión de financiamiento para los pueblos #indigenas es crucial, ya que la protección de #biodiversidad depende de sus conocimientos, territorios y recursos. Lea aquí las recomendaciones para alinear los fondos con los #DerechosHumanos https://t.co/BElhpFdw6E

At #COP15 the question of funding to #INDIGENOUS peoples and local communities #IPLC is crucial as a tranformative Global Biodiversity Framework #gbf relies on their knowledge and defence of territories and resources. Read the recommendations: https://t.co/RwZQjABgFQ

In Sapmi we have 8 seasons and 300 words for snow conditions that will be lost in the #ClimateCrisis. This is non-economic #LossAndDamage says @susannaisr of the @SaamiCouncil at #COP27

[Birgitte Feiring @BiFeiring]

We #IndigenousPeoples of the Arctic were colonised and our traditional knowledge pushed aside. We demand equitable and ethical engagement that recognize our knowledge and follow a #HumanRights approach says @SaraOlsvig at #COP27

Deadline på DR2 den 13. nov hvor jeg sammen med Jan Grarup sæter foks på klima og COP27. Jan har rejst i bl.a. Sydsudan, og har medbragt billeder, som er rystende. Udsendelsen sætter en streg under, at ekstreme vejrforhold er kommet for at blive #dkpol

Great work @StevenLBJensen1 . The perspective from #COP27 is clearly that we need the full range of #HumanRights and all dimensions of #sustainabledevelopment to combat the #ClimateCrisis

[Steven L B Jensen @StevenLBJensen1]

45 years ago this month, human rights discourse took a bad turn with introduction of 3 Generations Theory of HR. It skewed the history & substance of HR & instilled a problematic hierarchy. I began 5 years ago today to put nails in the theory's coffin.

Customary governance, food systems and water management of #IndigenousPeoples are lifestyles that are #naturebasedsolutions. We need secure tenure #rights and safeguards to sustain these says @jing_corpuz at @IUCN event at #Cop27

[Birgitte Feiring @BiFeiring]

All ecosystems - all #INDIGENOUS peoples are impacted by #ClimateCrisis but funding is earmarked to specific areas. We need support to realise the #HumanRights of all #IndigenousPeoples says @parwasisa at #COP27

[Birgitte Feiring @BiFeiring]

"We have a problem of transparency" says @JoanCarling. Donors to the Forest Tenure Pledge reports that only 7% of funds disbursed went directly to #INDIGENOUS peoples - but how much went to women? We need disaggregated data and equitable funding #COP27 https://t.co/RwZQjAkdDQ

[Birgitte Feiring @BiFeiring]

"No somos pobrecitas" - we need equitable funding for #INDIGENOUS women's leadership, movement building and climate solutions. @IIWF at #COP27

[Birgitte Feiring @BiFeiring]

Los #PueblosIndigenas necesitan financiamiento que fortalece sus #derechos y su rol en combatir el #CambioClimatico. Lea aquí las recomendaciones para los debates en #COP27 https://t.co/BElhpEWt4E

[Birgitte Feiring @BiFeiring]

Follow the money! Direct funding to #Indigenous peoples is discussed at #COP27 - but still very little funds reach the communities. Read about the bottlenecks and the recommendations to direct funds to underpin rights https://t.co/RwZQjAjFOi

[Birgitte Feiring @BiFeiring]

@ktcurrey The response from #indigenous peoples is: "Trust us, we can do it"

[Birgitte Feiring @BiFeiring]

Only 7% of funds under the Forest Tenure Pledge is channelled directly to the organisations of #indigenous peoples and local communities that it is meant to support. It's time to redirect funds to the frontliners who really protect forests https://t.co/RwZQjAkdDQ
