Indigenous Peoples face a new wave of extractivism for transition minerals like copper, nickel, cobalt, and lithium, crucial for battery development. These mining projects risk replicating the harms of the fossil fuel economy by threatening Indigenous rights, especially those of Indigenous women, and destroying biodiverse ecosystems. This panel will prioritize Indigenous women’s rights.

Speakers include Galina Angarova (Cultural Survival), Lesley Muñoz (Plurinational Observatory of Andean Salt Flats - OPSAL), Jannie Staffansson (Cultural Survival), Guadalupe García Prado (Observatory of Extractive Industries), and Kate R. Finn (First Peoples Worldwide).

Over 100 UK business and finance leaders, including CEOs from Amazon, Coca-Cola, and IKEA, have urged Prime Minister Liz Truss to strengthen the economy by prioritizing climate and nature crises. Amid inflation and recession warnings, they advocate for building economic resilience through net-zero delivery and nature restoration.

A letter from 116 institutions emphasizes urgent government plans to accelerate the energy transition. This could significantly reduce household energy bills, improve energy security, and shield the UK from volatile fossil fuel prices. Restoring nature is also crucial for resilience and economic support.

The Turtle Lodge and Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre (MFNERC) present Wahbanang: The Resurgence of our People – Clearing the Path for Our Survival. It commemorates the 50th Anniversary of Wahbung: Our Tomorrows.

The FAO, through its AIM4Forests program, is assisting the Government of Guatemala in integrating Indigenous Peoples and local communities into the National Forest Monitoring System (SNMF). This initiative, funded by the United Kingdom, fosters dialogue for shared multi-level forest monitoring, utilizing cutting-edge technology and sustainable solutions.

Support in Guatemala focuses on three key areas: strengthening institutional capacities for REDD+ monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV); supporting the National Forest Inventory (NFI); and developing strategies to integrate local communities and Indigenous Peoples into the SNMF's multi-level forest monitoring framework.

Oil extraction in the Amazon is devastating the rainforest, climate, and indigenous communities. While often overlooked, the Amazon is a significant source of crude oil, much of which is consumed in the United States. This drilling occurs in the world's most biodiverse rainforest, a vital carbon sink and home to over 400 distinct indigenous peoples.

Amazonian peoples and scientists agree: this oil must remain in the ground to protect the planet and avert catastrophic climate change. Amazon Watch supports indigenous allies by advocating for respect for their rights and territories. Based on their "FROM WELL TO WHEEL" report, they urge companies, universities, and governments to adopt Amazon-free fuel sources.

Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) is a fundamental right for Indigenous Peoples, recognized by the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). Since 2015, FPIC has been mandatory for all FAO projects and activities involving Indigenous Peoples.

Despite its importance, FPIC faces implementation challenges. Experts recently discussed these common obstacles and outlined necessary steps during the FPIC Donors Task Force meeting.
