On-going at #COP29Baku at special side event room Nasimi, the amazing panel at the high level dialogue: Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities' knowledge at the core of the climate-nature nexus

Hindou 'we have to recognize IPs rights and see that in outcome texts at #COP29, support indigenous leadership, advocate for direct access to finance for Indigenous Peoples, its time for implementation, it is about our future lets work together to build a better tomorrow!'

Onel Marsadule at #COP29Baku we have to make the dream of our Indigenous Peoples a reality, we need the financing on the ground.

Onel Masardule of IIFB calls the #BakuWorkProgram a crucial entry point for #IndigenousPeoples but more is needed to support the initiatives of #IPs, such as IIFB's partnership w/ IUCN on the #PodongInitiative at #COP29Baku #NatureDay w/ IUCN Climate & Energy

Lucy Mulenkei of IIFB IIN MADRE FIMI-IIWF calls on a roundtable of change to stop talks and fund actions chosen and led by #IndigenousPeoples + to invest in #PodongInitiative rather than reinvent efforts. Hard work is ahead she declares #COP29Baku #NatureDay

lucy Mulenkei #COP29 Indigenous Knowledge is IPs' Identity and financing has to reach IPs directly to supppert this, there has to be synergies between the 3 Rio Conventions. The SB on article 8J is a great achievement to give recognition to IPs. It is time for action!.

That's a wrap! Dr Aguilar of IUCN closes the event calling on collaboration: this is not a journey of #IndigenousPeoples alone but the journey of us all. Thx IUCN_GovRights + IUCN Climate Team & COP29 Azerbaijan for organizing and supporting our gender account live tweets! #COP29Baku

We are looking into intergrating culture and heritage in adaptation, it is a vital part of ensuring inclusion, development of our sustainable futures and in building human relationship to our lands and our environment. TK is invaluable to climate change discussions at #COP29

lucy Mulenkei 'We value our Indigenous cultures and Identity, at TRUA Summit, #COP16 the discussions on article 8J IPLCs looked deeply on how TK gets integrated in different processes of the Rio Conventions, lets all work with IPLCs to monitor & co-design implementation actions.
