Why are investors so eager to support cutting-edge technologies but hesitant to trust those who have safeguarded our planet's ecosystems for generations? Investing in Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities ensures thriving ecosystems. As projects like our Shandia platform succeed, they secure the future of these communities while tackling climate change and biodiversity loss. True progress lies in balancing modern innovations with the deep-rooted knowledge of Indigenous communities. Let's honor traditional knowledge and continue supporting Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities, the true guardians of our Earth. #ClimateJustice #DirectFinancing #IndigenousRights

At #ClimateWeekNYC2024, Hero Aprila represented Indigenous youth from Indonesia, bringing a powerful message about the challenges and resilience of maintaining Indigenous identity.

During last week’s #ClimateWeekNYC, Levi Sucre Romero from the Mesoamerican Alliance of Forests and People highlighted crucial discussions on?direct territorial investment. A unified will from?philanthropic partners, governments, Indigenous Peoples, and Local Communities?emerged to construct a model of territorial direct financing that upholds Indigenous Peoples' rights. This shared vision aims to have concrete actions by?#COP30 in Brazil, 2025, to empower communities to lead the fight against climate change. The challenge ahead is immense, but the resolve is clear: moving from dialogue to action, ensuring that investment is deeply rooted in the territories. #ClimateFinance #IndigenousRights #DirectInvestment #ClimateAction #SustainableFuture

As #ClimateWeekNYC2024 comes to a close, we reflect on the powerful impact of direct financing for Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities. ?? Direct financing is like planting seeds in fertile soil—each financial resource invested grows into something much larger: healthier forests, restored ecosystems, and preserved biodiversity. This isn’t just a top-down process, but a cycle where communities on the ground nurture these resources, turning them into sustainable solutions that benefit everyone. It has been a week since the Shandia Forum, and a heartfelt thank you goes out to all who participated and supported the critical work during this time. Together, we are planting the seeds for a better future. ?? #DirectFinancing #ShandiaForum2024 #IndigenousLeadership #ClimateAction #Sustainability #Biodiversity #ClimateJustice

?? As we wrap up New York Climate Week, Tukuma Pataxó shares how decision-makers, civil society, and climate leaders came together to discuss real solutions. This year, the Shandia Forum put the spotlight on territorial solutions and the need for funding to tackle the everyday crises communities face. We’ve been at the heart of these talks, advocating for Indigenous Peoples and local communities to have a seat at the table because, without the people, there’s no solution to the climate crisis. ?? #NYCW24 #ClimateAction
