We are proud to collaborate with Greenpeace, Empowered by Light, and Solargrid to provide solar installations for our Munduruku allies in the Brazilian Amazon. The Munduruku are vital protectors of the Tapajos River, one of Brazil's last free-flowing major Amazon tributaries, defending it from destructive large dams.

These solar installations offer truly clean power for the Munduruku people, while also sending a clear message: large dams are not the solution to our energy needs. Take action in support by visiting: amazonwatch.org/landrightsnow.

Indigenous women are leading global efforts to uphold Indigenous rights, sovereignty, and Free Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) in interactions with financial institutions and corporations. These institutions often perpetuate human and Indigenous rights violations, particularly in extractive industries. A recent event highlighted the need for these entities to implement FPIC, Indigenous rights, and due diligence, while investing in climate justice solutions centered on Traditional Ecological Knowledge.

Given the climate crisis, respecting Indigenous knowledge, ways of life, and FPIC—including the right to say “no� to extraction—is paramount, as 80% of Earth's biodiversity remains on Indigenous lands. This discussion took place at a formal side-event of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues 2022, featuring Indigenous women leaders and global advocates like Sônia Guajajara and Casey Camp-Horinek.
