It is ironic that, as guardians of more than 80% of the world's biodiversity and being the forefront of preserving natural ecosystems that function as Earth's climate regulators, indigenous people are often excluded from global conversations about climate solutions. Although indigenous communities have the lowest carbon footprints and are largest contributors to environmental stewardship, they are often the first victims of climate-caused disasters. Worse still, even when climate solutions are deployed, many of these solutions come at the expense of indigenous peoples' rights and livelihood. In this talk, Rukka explains how indigenous peoples are ready to go hand in hand in providing their native solutions to fight climate crisis, and how building a sustainable future is possible for all.
