“Around the world, millions of Indigenous Peoples are losing their lands, their rights, and their resources. The injustice of generations of discrimination manifests itself in staggering inequalities. Indigenous Peoples make up around five percent of the world’s population – but fifteen percent of the world’s poorest.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“Indigenous Peoples have done nothing to cause the climate crisis but often face the worst and most immediate impacts. That is why we must speed up efforts to deliver climate justice and scale up finance and capacities for adaptation and loss and damage. At the same time, Indigenous Peoples hold many of the solutions to the climate crisis and are guardians of the world’s biodiversity.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
The United Nations is committed to keep promoting the rights of Indigenous Peoples in policies and programming at all levels – and amplifying your voices. Let us learn from and embrace the experiences of Indigenous Peoples worldwide. Let us work together and walk hand-in-hand towards peace, sustainability, and prosperity for all.”

“It is the indigenous peoples, with our support, who can contribute to the fight against the climate crisis, one of the main pillars of sustaining the balance of life throughout the planet.”

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Deb Haaland, Secretary of the Interior, United States:
“In every corner of this planet, Indigenous communities exist in spite of the historic trauma that we have endured for centuries. If we are going to collectively heal from the wrongs of the past while building the world, we all deserve – Indigenous peoples everywhere must be brought into the fold.”

15. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) Sônia Guajajara, Minister of Indigenous Peoples, Brazil:
“We, Indigenous Peoples, are 5 percent of the world’s population, and we protect 82 percent of global biodiversity. If 80 percent of global biodiversity is protected inside indigenous territories, then we need that the cultural rights, the livelihoods of Indigenous Peoples to be respected, rights to be guaranteed, and international agreements to be implemented in the local politics in our countries.”

17. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Dario Mejía Montalvo, Chairperson, Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII):
“Some progress has been made, but governments need to have the humility and courage to recognize that the solutions proposed up to now are not being effective; they are not resolving the global crisis; and they need consistency to recognize that international commitments and declarations must be turned into concrete plans.”

19. SOUNDBITE (English) Naishorwa Masago, Masaai Leader:
“What other mechanism can be brought in? I think it is dialogue between indigenous people and governments to also bring up other co-creation or co-management of these resources for the benefit of all instead of moving people away from their lands. And I think to me this is very much important to avoid much more conflict in these areas.”

He also stated that the UN stands with indigenous peoples and added that the Organization is committed to keeping promoting their rights in policies and programming at all levels – and amplifying all their voices.
This year’s Forum focuses on the intersection of human and planetary health, the climate crisis, and the rights of Indigenous Peoples.
At the opening of the UNPFII were also the President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, and the United States Secretary of the Interior, Deb Haaland.
In his opening remarks, Petro said, “It is the indigenous peoples, with our support, who can contribute to the fight against the climate crisis, one of the main pillars of sustaining the balance of life throughout the planet.”
Representing her country, the United States Secretary of the Interior said, “In every corner of this planet, Indigenous communities exist in spite of the historic trauma that we have endured for centuries. If we are going to collectively heal from the wrongs of the past while building the world, we all deserve – Indigenous peoples everywhere must be brought into the fold.”
Following the opening, the Brazilian Minister of Indigenous Peoples, Sônia Guajajara, the UNPFII Chairperson, Dario Mejía Montalvo, and the Masaai Leader, Naishorwa Masago, addressed the press.

UNPFII Chairperson said to journalists, “Some progress has been made, but governments need to have the humility and courage to recognize that the solutions proposed up to now are not being effective; they are not resolving the global crisis; and they need consistency to recognize that international commitments and declarations must be turned into concrete plans.”
The Masaai Leader, Naishorwa Masago, proposed dialogue between indigenous people and governments as a mechanism for the “co-management of these resources for the benefit of all instead of moving people away from their lands.”
