It was a great opportunity to connect with the Minga Indegina and friends from the Amazon Watch brought meaningful gifts to our hosts in a moment of sharing and togetherness.

The bonds forged between these groups has been one of the truly positive things to come out of COP.
20/. Last year, a delegation of 146 Indigenous leaders made long & arduous journeys to COP in Glasgow
Among them was @MingaIndigena who, this year are struggling to cover the costs of travelling to #COP27

6/. “We have a big problem with deforestation. Factories are being built. Our rivers are being polluted. That is why I have travelled to COP. To ask the leaders of the world to really act.”

La naturaleza sabia abre paso a un nuevo ciclo solar, y todos los seres vivos, nos transformamos con ella.

Should nature "solve" man-made climate change? "Nature-based solutions" were the buzz at COP26, but how much can nature mop up? @GAViglione and I unspool the "vague, catch-all" net in the net-zero that risks passing the buck back to the planet.

While you've probably read these numbers before over the last weeks on screens and paper, this protection of biodiversity and chronic lack of support are nevertheless the reality for indigenous people in every part of the Earth. Solidarity @GerimaMustafa, thanks for including us
As indigenous people we protect 80% of the world's biodiversity, but also we are one of the most affected by climate change.
And yet the $100b promised to us to deal with the crisis remains a myth.
Leaders, you must do better.
We'd strongly encourage you to support this if you are able.
Also, we saw a link for a fundraising event for La Resistencia happening soon in Glasgow but can't find it. If you see it, can you please link us to it so we can share it? Many thanks
‘I not only brought with me the hearts and souls of my community... I have also brought the message that we are the solution to the problem.’ @StefSimanowitz has a great new article published in @newint which we'd definitely like our followers to check out #COP26
“The results of this #Cop26 are not a surprise, but they represent the state of the governments & their feelings, which are completely at odds with wider civil society demanding concrete actions & urgent measures”

2/ The previous quote isn't a joke. Rosanna, with Seiji, worked tirelessly to cook for the huge team of delegates and volunteers for Minga. She is an extraordinary and special woman who we are incredibly grateful for. Read her words and about her fight in the article below #cop26
