Indigenous Peoples reflect humanity’s magnificent diversity. But around the world, millions of Indigenous Peoples are losing their lands, rights & resources. The United Nations is committed to keep promoting their rights in all of our work areas & amplifying their voices at all levels.

In the longer term, we will not solve today’s challenges by relying on the financial system that helped to cause them. We need engagement & support from all corners of the world to renew the international financial architecture for the challenges of today & tomorrow.

For thousands of years, Indigenous Peoples have pioneered sustainable land management & climate adaption. We have so much to learn from their wisdom, knowledge, leadership, experience & example.
