SUMMARY:Protecting Land\, Rights\, and Future Generations: Indigenous Women on the Frontlines of Climate Action and Earth Defense
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Earth Day for our upcoming\, impactful event\, where Indigenous women leaders from across the globe will come together to highlight the urgent challenges facing their communities and our planet and inspiring paths forward in these times. Speakers will share firsthand experiences of the impacts of colonization\, deforestation\, extraction\, and climate disruption while showcasing powerful climate solutions and strategies that uphold Indigenous rights and sovereignty and bring health and justice to their communities. \n​This event is part of the 24th session of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII)\, and will emphasize the critical need to recognize and uphold the rights of Indigenous Peoples\, including the right to Free\, Prior\, and Informed Consent (FPIC)\, which is essential to protecting their lands\, cultures\, and ways of life.
