By now, we have all heard the statistic that Indigenous Peoples protect 80% of the world's biodiversity, despite being 5% of the world's population. This simple fact alone should position Indigenous, Native, and Tribal Peoples as not only leaders but experts on resource management and climate mitigation and adaptation. Yet, in many spaces, political and institutional, Indigenous knowledge and expertise are seen as supplemental, and at worse, romantic.

So how can we move beyond just acknowledging Indigenous Peoples to working to ensure that their rights are centered and strengthened in climate action at the local, national and global levels? Jade Begay, one of North America’s most effective Indigenous Rights activists will share her insights on how far Indigenous leadership has come and what we can do to strengthen and embolden this leadership that is so needed if we are all to survive on planet Earth

Indigenous communities are vital guardians of Earth's biodiversity, safeguarding 80% of what remains globally. Their traditional knowledge and ancestral ownership of vast areas, including nearly half of the Amazon's intact forests, are crucial for mitigating the climate crisis, as these biodiverse regions serve as major carbon sinks. Respecting Indigenous peoples' internationally recognized rights is paramount for protecting our planet's most important rainforests, climate, and life.

Nemonte Nenquimo, a Waorani leader and co-founder of Ceibo Alliance and Amazon Frontlines, champions this cause. Named one of Time's 100 most influential people and a Goldman Environmental Prize winner, she fights against oil drilling on ancestral lands.

Nature-based solutions (NbS) offer multiple benefits for business, nature, and people, yet their adoption by companies to meet climate goals and mitigate risks remains limited. Increased corporate engagement across value chains is crucial for achieving a net-zero, nature-positive world.

CISL acknowledges the challenges companies face in adopting NbS, particularly in quantifying benefits for initial projects like regenerative agriculture. To address this, CISL, with support from the We Mean Business Coalition, launched a diagnostic tool in March 2022 to help unlock NbS investments within value chains.

An upcoming webinar, part of CISL’s project to support business to #GetNBSready, will explore progress on nature-positive ambitions, discuss implementation challenges, and demonstrate how this tool can assist companies.

Indigenous Peoples integrate cultural values into business, protecting 80% of global biodiversity through "green jobs." To foster an equitable, regenerative future, we must uplift Indigenous-led solutions and transform philanthropy, moving beyond colonial-capitalism.

This panel explores these strategies with Sikowis (Great Plains Action Society) and Dr. Nick Estes (The Red Nation), hosted by Alexis Bunten (Bioneers Indigeneity Program).

For millennia, Indigenous communities have been environmental guardians, using traditional knowledge to live in balance and protect flora and fauna. They safeguard 80% of the world's biodiversity, and protecting these lands and waters is crucial for climate mitigation, as these biodiverse areas are major carbon sinks. Indigenous peoples are the ancestral owners of nearly half the intact forest in the Amazon Basin.

Nemonte Nenquimo, a Waorani leader and co-founder of Ceibo Alliance and Amazon Frontlines, stresses that respecting Indigenous peoples' rights to their territories is vital for protecting the Amazon rainforest, our climate, and global life. Recognized by Time's 100 most influential people and a Goldman Environmental Prize winner, Nenquimo advocates against oil drilling on ancestral lands.
