Home Indigenous Climate Action Woven is a global initiative fighting for climate stability through indigenous solutions. believing the protection of our planet is dependent on the protection and advancement of indigenous rights and sovereignty, woven supports projects on land defense, conservation, and climate campaigns. On international day of the world’s indigenous peoples, explore seven powerful examples of indigenous led climate action across the globe, including forest stewardship in brazil and clean energy in the arctic.
Indigenous Climate Action As in the prophecy of the eagle and the condor, the basis of indigenous climate action is kinship, community, and relationships. these relationships are with each other, community, plants, animals, lands and waters, and even the stars, moon, and sun. While significant resources flow through climate initiatives worldwide, less than 1 per cent reaches indigenous peoples directly. the report calls for a fundamental shift: not just to increase. Indigenous peoples across the world face the consequences of climate change. indigenous peoples must, therefore, be heard and included in global, national and local climate action. indigenous peoples are particularly vulnerable to climate change and yet the least responsible. In the face of climate change and its worsening impacts on lives and livelihoods around the world, indigenous peoples are accelerating climate action globally and locally through ancestral knowledge systems and practices, and drawing on an intrinsic relationship with mother earth.
Our Programs Indigenous Climate Action Indigenous peoples across the world face the consequences of climate change. indigenous peoples must, therefore, be heard and included in global, national and local climate action. indigenous peoples are particularly vulnerable to climate change and yet the least responsible. In the face of climate change and its worsening impacts on lives and livelihoods around the world, indigenous peoples are accelerating climate action globally and locally through ancestral knowledge systems and practices, and drawing on an intrinsic relationship with mother earth. With increased direct and flexible support, indigenous peoples can defend their territories, preserve biodiversity, and drive innovative climate solutions. this isn’t just impactful—it’s one of the most cost effective pathways we have. Indigenous peoples are custodians of unique knowledge and practices that emphasize the balance between humans and the natural world. many indigenous traditional practices offer effective climate solutions, such as sustainable agriculture systems and climate resilient water management. Indigenous peoples are amongst the least responsible for climate change but are also amongst the ones who are suffering its consequences first. they preserve much of the world's remaining biodiversity, and a large share of intact forests and carbon sinks. At cop30, indigenous leaders demanded the right to self determination, the demarcation of ancestral territories, and the direct resourcing of their communities — because climate justice cannot exist without indigenous leadership.
