Արդի առաջնորդները պահանջում են հողային իրավունքների և կլիմայական գործողությունների ուժեղացում COP30-ում

"...These gestures are a departure for talks in which Indigenous communities — who safeguard much of the world's biodiversity — have long felt unheard...."

"...But whether they will translate into meaningful action remains to be seen...."

"...For many communities, land rights are an ongoing issue...."

"...Though legal recognition of an estimated 100 million hectares (247 million acres) was granted to Indigenous, Afro-descendant and other local communities between 2015 and 2020 worldwide, claims to a further 1.4 billion hectares are yet to be resolved...."

"...Intact forests have in the past absorbed around a fifth of emissions, but they are increasingly under threat from human activity and climate change...."

"...Last year wildfires led to an 80% increase in tropical forest deforestation...."

"...There is growing body of credible research supporting the argument that granting land rights to Indigenous peoples has a key role in tackling climate change...."

"...While this is a significant step forward, to be truly effective Halvorson says the TFFF must guarantee Indigenous peoples have direct and equitable access to the resources they need...."

"...She said if commitments in Belem on land demarcation, direct funding and global recognition of territorial rights are fulfilled, "COP30 could become a landmark for climate justice."..."

"...Leaders of the Munduruku Indigenous group, who led a demonstration on Friday, presented a series of demands to Brazil, including a rejection of deforestation carbon credits...."

"...Carbon credits have come under scrutiny for failing to deliver promised emissions cuts...."

"...Some feel "the Brazilian government is not hearing their demands and not including their voices, even though they call this the 'Indigenous COP'," said Indigenous Climate Action in a statement...."

"...But with global emissions and temperatures still rising, the concept of mutirao could help with a needed shift toward real implementation of climate action on the ground, says Hayley Walker, associate professor of international negotiation at IESEG School of Management in France...."

"..."If it catches on, the call for mutirao could be an important gift from Brazil's Indigenous peoples to the rest of the world that has the potential to move us significantly closer to where we need to be in addressing climate change," said Walker...."
