The Answer Is Us

Indigenous People play a crucial role in finding solutions to the climate crisis rooted in justice, respect and care for our planet. They recognize that the time to act is now.

Next year, Brazil will host the UN’s climate talks, COP30 in the Brazilian Amazon. But its Indigenous leaders and communities are being sidelined from these critical discussions.

Right now, Indigenous leaders of Brazil are urging their government to give them a seat at the table as co-hosts of COP30.

Indigenous knowledge is the key to creating just climate policies and solutions to climate impacts. It is also crucial to protecting the Amazon rainforest. The Amazon plays an essential role in regulating the Earth’s climate by absorbing carbon dioxide.

Sign this petition to support the Indigenous “We Are The Answer” campaign. Tell Brazil’s government to accept the Indigenous peoples as co-presidents of COP30.

  • Stand with Indigenous leaders in Brazil
    We, the Indigenous Peoples of Brazil, in the face of the gravity of the climate crisis, know that the time to act is now. We know who is setting the planet on fire and we feel the devastating impacts in our territories and our lives: severe drought, forced isolation, diseases, lack of food, invasions, conflicts, and deaths. With the imminent collapse of living conditions in the world, strong and effective actions must be taken. There will be no life on a burning planet. The climate crisis is also a crisis of leadership and values. We have never given up on defending life, and we will not get lost in empty discussions and sterile commitments. While governments continue to mediate insufficient targets and empty fundings, we want to announce that, from now on, we will take the lead in a global mobilization for life on the planet.

  • Apoye a los líderes indígenas en Brasil
    Nosotros, los pueblos indígenas brasileños, ante la gravedad de la crisis climática, sabemos que el tiempo para actuar es ahora. Somos testigos de quienes están incendiando el planeta y del impacto devastador que esto tiene en nuestros territorios y en nuestras vidas: sequías severas, aislamiento forzado, enfermedades, falta de alimentos, invasiones, conflictos y muertes. Con el colapso inminente de las condiciones de vida en el mundo, se deben tomar acciones fuertes y efectivas. No habrá preservación de la vida en un planeta en llamas. La crisis climática también es una crisis de liderazgo y de valores. Nunca hemos renunciado a defender la vida y no nos perderemos en discusiones vacías ni en compromisos estériles. Mientras los gobiernos siguen mediando metas insuficientes y financiamientos vacíos, queremos anunciar que, a partir de ahora, vamos a asumir el liderazgo para una movilización global por la vida en el planeta.
