"There are no laws to protect our rights as Indigenous peoples...so we are treated as squatters. That's why they can kick us out...They do not recognize the way we do our traditional livelihoods." - @JoanCarling@IPRightsIntl#COP26
#COP26 has been named the must excluding COP ever.
This is no longer a climate conference.
This is a Global North greenwash festival.
A two week celebration of business as usual and blah blah blah.
Let's get this very clear, the climate crisis is caused by the mass burning of fossil fuels, industrial farming, particularly livestock etc. "Climate change" is not some remote threat from elsewhere to be defeated, it is caused by our current economic processes and model.
On Indigenous People's Day, I salute the Amazon nations from Ecuador who won the historic pollution case against Chevron for the poisoning of their ancestral lands: the Secoya, Cofan, Siona, Huaorani and Quichua.
Chevron has spent $3 billion to silence you — and failed.
@NaturesTemper I have my environmental science and sustainability degree you have your zoology, it's not like we're not qualified to help I think at first we have to fix our mental health so we are capable of overcoming these kinds of things and do tangibly progressive works
The climate crisis isn't your fault. Please remember that.
Also remember that you, as an inhabitant of this planet, have the responsibility to preserve this place for future generations. We all have that responsibility.
Become a climate activist.
