Fossil fuels and other conventional energy sources release many greenhouse gases that harm the environment. For this reason, there is global talk of the need for a transition towards the use of cleaner energy sources and the development of technologies such as battery storage systems, and other cleaner sources of energy. However, for the creation of these energy sources, so-called “transition minerals” are necessary, the extraction of which increases the danger of new displacements and the dispossession of territories from Indigenous Peoples.

A chaque saison, je m'inquiète de notre (mauvaise) récolte; nous n’avons plus assez de terres agricoles depuis que l'entreprise s’est installée dans notre communauté. C'est vrai, on a pris nos terres sans notre consentement préalable, libre et éclairé. Ce droit oblige toute entreprise ou gouvernement d'informer, de consulter et d'écouter les peuples autochtones avant d'exploiter leurs terres. Agissons donc pour responsabiliser cette entreprise.

Aucune exploitation ne peut être faite sur nos terres sans appliquer au préalable l’article trente-deux de la Déclaration des Nations Unies sur les droits des peuples autochtones. Ce droit affirme que les états doivent obtenir le consentement préalable, libre et éclairé des peuples autochtones avant que tout projet de développement, pouvant altérer les terres et les ressources des peuples autochtones, ne soit approuvé; notamment en ce qui concerne la mise en valeur, l’utilisation ou l’exploitation des ressources minérales, hydriques ou autres.

Les États devraient travailler avec les communautés autochtones pour mettre en œuvre des initiatives sur le changement climatique qui protègent la terre et les ressources des peuples autochtones, à travers une approche basée sur l'écosystème et les garanties exécutoires.
