COP28 - A Wrap Up With Eileen Mairena Cunningham
Eileen Mairena Cunningham of the International Indigenous Peoples Forum on Climate Change urges that the final document of COP28 should explicitly mention Indigenous Peoples. This is because they have made invaluable contributions towards climate solutions and are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Acknowledging their contributions and vulnerabilities is crucial for ensuring that they can participate meaningfully in the global response to climate change. It will also help in fostering a just and inclusive approach towards tackling climate change.
