Briefings

Indigenous leaders at COP31 in Antalya, Turkey, expressed frustration over continued exclusion from climate negotiations, citing a pattern of promises not being translated into action. While the event focuses on procedural implementation rather than new pledges, advocates like Edward Porokwa and Biswash Chepang emphasize the urgent need to secure land rights, funding, and free, prior, and informed consent for climate action. The conference occurred in the wake of devastating climate events in Nepal, Canada, and Indonesia, where Indigenous rights are under threat. Despite a recent UN report predicting it will be impossible to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees, delegates argue that Indigenous stewardship has proven beneficial to the environment.
