Opening Statement COP30

We celebrate this first COP held in the Amazon. However, the lack of commitment and ambition from Parties has brought us to irreversible tipping points.

The Presidency calls it the COP of implementation, yet we are still experiencing colonization in our territories, with the expansion of fossil fuels including in the Amazon, mining for transition minerals, carbon trading, the agribusiness industry, nuclear energy and uranium extraction, geoengineering, and large-scale renewable energy infrastructure. This perpetuates conflict, displacement, destruction, and contamination of our sacred places, as well as persecution, criminalization, and murder of our relatives.

We demand that all climate action must be carried out with full respect for the rights of Indigenous Peoples, including our right to self-determination, Free, Prior and Inform Consent, and the protection of lands, waters, and territories.

We therefore make the following recommendations:

• The Just Transition Work Programme must uphold international human rights standards, including UNDRIP, explicitly protect Indigenous Peoples in Voluntary Isolation and Initial Contact, and redress the impacts of the extractive model.

• Ensure direct, flexible, and culturally appropriate access to all forms of climate finance, considering our own financial mechanisms.

• Ensure full and effective representation and participation in all decision-making processes, legal security of our territories, governance structures, and knowledge systems, especially in this COP, in NDCs and NAPs.

• Acknowledge Indigenous women, youth, and persons with disabilities’ contributions to climate action, and ensure their meaningful participation.

This is an Indigenous COP, and we are distinct right-holders and protectors of our knowledge. We need actionable results that include our wisdom and science. This is not optional; it is critical to our collective survival.

Press Release: New Report Available on Indigenous Peoples and Traditional Knowledge within the UNFCCC

For immediate release.
Thursday, November 13, 2025

Belém, Brazil - The International Indigenous Peoples Forum on Climate Change (IIPFCC) in partnership with the Centre for International Environmental Law (CIEL) have released a new report “Indigenous Peoples and Traditional Knowledge in the Context of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change Compilation of Decisions and Conclusions Adopted by the Parties to the Convention.”

For decades, Indigenous Peoples have drawn upon knowledge and observations shared by their Elders and knowledge keepers and their reciprocal relationships with the natural world to raise awareness of the climate crisis. Because of their close relationship with their supportive ecosystems, Indigenous Peoples have acquired unique knowledge enabling them to understand, interpret, and react to the impacts of climate change. Their continued leadership has been essential to advancing rights-based frameworks during climate negotiations and is evident in documents such as the preamble of the Paris Agreement. 

The IPCC recognizes that drawing on meaningful participation and inclusive engagement processes of Indigenous Peoples, facilitates climate resilient development and allows locally appropriate and socially acceptable solutions. 

A rights-based approach — including commitments to uphold the minimum standards contained in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples — is essential to developing climate solutions grounded in equity, justice, and the self-determination of Indigenous Peoples.

In July 2025, the International Court of Justice reaffirmed the need to uphold Indigenous Peoples rights in the context of climate action. The InterAmerican Court of Human Rights also echoed this legal finding in its latest ruling, stressing the importance to respect, among others, Indigenous Peoples’ right to Free, Prior, Informed Consent.

Given their unique and critical role in climate negotiations, it is essential to understand Indigenous Peoples’ leadership with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and broader climate discourse. 

Indigenous Peoples and Traditional Knowledge in the Context of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change lists all of the references to Indigenous Peoples and traditional knowledge adopted by the UNFCCC bodies up to the COP30— serving as a useful tool for all actors involved in climate policies and climate actions, including governments, private corporations, and financial institutions. It complements previous compilations published by the International Indigenous Peoples’ Forum on Climate Change and the Center for International Environmental Law (in 2018, 2019 and 2021).

МЕЖДУНАРОДНЫЙ ФОРУМ КОРЕННЫХ НАРОДОВ ПО ИЗМЕНЕНИЮ КЛИМАТА ДОКУМЕНТА "СПРАВЕДЛИВЫЙ ПЕРЕХОД"

«Государства добросовестно консультируются и сотрудничают с соответствующими коренными народами через их собственные представительные учреждения с целью получения их свободного и осознанного согласия до утверждения любого проекта, затрагивающего их земли или территории и другие ресурсы..." - Декларация ООН о правах коренных народов." - Декларация ООН о правах коренных народов Статья 32, пункт 2

1. Единственный способ обеспечить достижение цели Парижского соглашения по удержанию повышению глобальной температуры на 1,5 С и тем самым защитить традиционный образ жизни, продовольствие и экосистемы коренных народов всего мира - это принятие всеми государствами на КС 28 обязательств по справедливому и основанному на правах человека постепенному отказу от ископаемого топлива, а также обязательств по справедливому и честному переходу к устойчивым источникам энергии, не содержащим углерода.

2. Текущие дискуссии о "справедливом переходе", начавшиеся на SBSTA в июне 2023 года, основаны на поиске решениях и могут внести существенный вклад в сокращение выбросов парниковых газов, предотвращение потерь и ущерба, защиту экосистем планеты, биоразнообразия и образа жизни коренных народов.

3. Tермин "справедливый переход" и критерии, определяющие его реализацию, еще не до конца определены. Мы обеспокоены тем, что, если определение и критерии не будут уточнены и подтверждены, а гарантии прав и охраны окружающей среды не будут твердо установлены, проекты, осуществляемые под названием "Справедливый переход", приведут к "зеленому отмыванию" деструктивных практик, которые еще больше нарушат права коренных народов, подобно тому, как уже продвигаются и реализуются решения "на основе природы" и "с нулевыми показателями".

4. Права, перспективы, системы знаний и жизненный опыт коренных народов должны рассматриваться и учитываться в определениях, критериях и реализации проектов и программ "справедливого перехода".

5. Права, закрепленные в Декларации ООН о правах коренных народов, включая, в частности, статьи 12, 26 и 32, а также обязательство, подтвержденное в пункте 11 преамбулы Парижского соглашения, должны стать основой для определения того, что является "справедливым" в этом отношении.

6. Добыча полезных ископаемых переходного периода, таких как литий, медь, никель, хром и гелий, строительство мегаплотин, создание плантаций пальмового масла и других монокультур, строительство промышленных ветряных электростанций - вот несколько примеров "справедливого перехода", осуществляемого на землях и территориях коренных народов без их свободного предварительного и осознанного согласия. Это не может быть определено как переход от "обычного ведения бизнеса", и эти действия, конечно, нельзя назвать "справедливыми".

7. Признавая, что крупномасштабное промышленное производство продуктов питания вносит существенный вклад в выбросы парниковых газов, в том числе за счет деградации почв, монокультуры и вырубки лесов, мы призываем к защите и восстановлению производства продуктов питания на основе агроэкологических практик, включая проверенные временем методы и знания коренных народов и науки, а также поэтапный отказ от промышленного сельского хозяйства как важнейшего компонента «справедливого перехода».

8.                  Знания, наука и проверенная временем практика коренных народов могут внести существенный вклад в текущие и актуальные политические дискуссии по вопросам "справедливого перехода", включая интеграцию исконных и новых устойчивых технологий, реализуемых с предварительного свободного и осознанного согласия коренных народов, подвергшихся воздействию. Поэтому коренные народы должны быть полноправными участниками всех подобных дискуссий и решения на национальном и международном уровнях.

FORUM INTERNATIONAL DES PEUPLES AUTOCHTONES SUR LE CHANGEMENT CLIMATIQUE VERSION FINALE DE DOCUMENT DE PLAIDOYER POUR UNE « TRANSITION JUSTE »

« Les États consultent les peuples autochtones concernés et coopèrent avec eux de bonne foi par l’intermédiaire de leurs propres institutions représentatives, en vue d’obtenir leur consentement donné librement et en connaissance de cause, avant l'approbation de tout projet ayant des incidences sur leurs terres ou territoires et autres ressources… »

-    Déclaration des Nations Unies sur les droits des peuples autochtones, Article 32, paragraphe 2

1.    Le seul moyen de garantir la réalisation de l'objectif de l'Accord de Paris visant à maintenir l’augmentation de la température mondiale en dessous de 1,5°C, et de protéger ainsi les modes de vie, l'alimentation et les écosystèmes des peuples autochtones du monde entier, est que tous les États s'engagent, lors de la COP 28, à éliminer progressivement les combustibles fossiles de manière équitable et fondée sur les droits, et à assurer une transition juste et équitable vers des sources d'énergie durables et non fondées sur les émissions de carbone.

2.    Les discussions actuelles pour une « transition juste » qui ont débuté à l’Organe subsidiaire de conseil scientifique et technologique (SBSTA en anglais) en juin 2023 sont basées sur des solutions et peuvent apporter une contribution substantielle à la réduction des gaz à effet de serre, à la prévention des pertes et des dommages, à la protection des écosystèmes de la planète, de la biodiversité et des modes de vie des peuples autochtones.

3.    le terme « transition juste » et les critères qui régissent sa mise en œuvre n'ont pas encore été entièrement définis. Nous craignons que, à moins que la définition et les critères ne soient clarifiés et confirmés, et que les droits et les garanties environnementales ne soient fermement établis, les projets menés au nom d’une « transition juste » conduiront à un écoblanchiment de pratiques destructrices qui violent davantage les droits des peuples autochtones, de la même manière que les solutions « basées sur la nature » et « net-zéro » sont déjà promues et mises en œuvre.

4.    Les droits, les perspectives, les systèmes de connaissances et les expériences vécues des peuples autochtones doivent être considérés et pris en compte dans les définitions, les critères et la mise en œuvre des projets et programmes de « transition juste ».

5.    Les droits affirmés dans la Déclaration des Nations Unies sur les droits des peuples autochtones, y compris notamment les articles 12, 26 et 32, ainsi que l'engagement affirmé au paragraphe 11 du préambule de l'Accord de Paris, doivent fournir un cadre pour définir ce qui est « juste » à cet égard.

6.    L'extraction de minéraux de transition tels que le lithium, le cuivre, le nickel, le chrome et l'hélium, la construction de méga-barrages, l'établissement de plantations d'huile de palme et d'autres monocultures et la construction de parcs éoliens industriels sont plusieurs exemples de « transition juste » réalisée sur les terres et territoires des peuples autochtones sans leur consentement préalable, libre et éclairé. Cela ne peut pas être défini comme une transition du « statu quo » et ces activités ne peuvent certainement pas être qualifiées de « justes ».

7.    Conscient que la production alimentaire industrielle contribue considérablement à l’emission des gaz à effet de serre, incluant la dégradation des sols, la mono-culture et la déforestation, nous demandons la protection et la restitution d’une production alimentaire basée sur des pratiques agricoles écologiques, incluant les méthodes, connaissances et sciences prouvées des peuples autochtones, et l’abandon progressif de l’agriculture industrielle, comme élément essentiel d’une transition juste.

8.    Les connaissances, la science et les pratiques éprouvées par le temps des peuples autochtones peuvent apporter une contribution substantielle aux discussions politiques et décisions en cours concernant une « transition juste » y compris l'intégration des technologies ancestrales ainsi que des nouvelles technologies durables mises en œuvre avec le consentement préalable, libre et éclairé des peuples autochtones touchés. Les peuples autochtones doivent donc participer pleinement à toutes ces discussions aux niveaux national et international.

DOCUMENTO DE INCIDENCIA FINAL SOBRE “TRANSICIÓN JUSTA” DEL FORO INTERNACIONAL DE LOS PUEBLOS INDÍGENAS SOBRE CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO

 “Los Estados celebrarán consultas y cooperarán de buena fe con los pueblos indígenas interesados por conducto de sus propias instituciones representativas a fin de obtener su consentimiento libre e informado antes de aprobar cualquier proyecto que afecte a sus tierras o territorios y otros recursos...”

- Artículo 32, párrafo 2 de la Declaración de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas.

1.     La única manera de asegurar el cumplimiento del objetivo del Acuerdo de París relativo al aumento de la temperatura global en 1,5 C, protegiendo con ello los modos de vida y los sistemas de alimentos y ecosistemas de los Pueblos Indígenas de todo el mundo, es que todos los Estados se comprometan en la COP 28 a una eliminación gradual, equitativa y basada en los derechos, de los combustibles fósiles, acompañada con el compromiso por una transición justa y equitativa hacia fuentes de energía sostenibles y no basadas en el carbono.

2.     Las discusiones en curso sobre la “Transición Justa” que se iniciaron durante SBSTA en junio de 2023 se basan en soluciones y pueden contribuir sustancialmente a la reducción de los gases de efecto invernadero, la prevención de pérdidas y daños, la protección de los ecosistemas del planeta, la biodiversidad y los modos de vida de los Pueblos Indígenas.

3.     El término “Transición Justa” y los criterios que rigen su aplicación aún no se han definido completamente. Nos preocupa que, a menos que se aclaren y confirmen tal definición y criterios, y se establezcan sólidamente salvaguardas de derechos y ambientales, los proyectos ejecutados en nombre de la “Transición Justa” conduzcan a un lavado verde de prácticas destructivas que violan aún más los derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas, similar al modo en que ya se promueven e implementan las soluciones “basadas en la naturaleza” y “cero emisiones netas”.

4.     Los derechos, perspectivas, sistemas de conocimiento y experiencias vividas de los Pueblos Indígenas deben ser considerados y tomados en cuenta en las definiciones, criterios e implementación de los proyectos y programas de la “Transición Justa”.

5.     Los derechos consagrados en la Declaración de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas, incluidos, entre otros, los artículos 12, 26 y 32, así como el compromiso estipulado en el párrafo 11 del preámbulo del Acuerdo de París, deben proporcionar un marco para definir lo que es “justo” en este aspecto.

6.     La extracción de minerales de transición como el litio, cobre, níquel, cromo y helio, la construcción de mega represas, el establecimiento de plantaciones de aceite de palma y otros monocultivos, y la construcción de parques eólicos industriales son varios ejemplos de “Transición Justa” implementados en las tierras y territorios de Pueblos Indígenas sin su consentimiento libre, previo e informado. Esto no puede definirse como una transición fuera de “lo habitual” y estas actividades ciertamente no pueden llamarse “justas”.

7.     Considerando que la agricultura industrial también contribuye significativamente a la generación de gases de efecto invernadero, entre otras cosas mediante la degradación del suelo, los monocultivos y la deforestación, exigimos la protección y restitución de la agroecología basada en las prácticas ancestrales, los conocimientos y la ciencia de los pueblos indígenas, y la abolición progresiva de las prácticas agrícolas industriales como parte integral de la “Transición Justa”.

8.     Los conocimientos, la ciencia y las prácticas comprobadas a lo largo del tiempo de los Pueblos Indígenas pueden contribuir sustancialmente a las discusiones y decisiones políticas actuales y en curso relativas a la “Transición Justa”, incluida la integración de tecnologías ancestrales y nuevas tecnologías sostenibles implementadas con el consentimiento libre, previo e informado de los Pueblos Indígenas afectados. Por lo tanto, los Pueblos Indígenas deben participar plenamente en todos estos debates a nivel nacional e internacional.

INTERNATIONAL INDIGENOUS PEOPLES FORUM ON CLIMATE CHANGE FINAL ADVOCACY PAPER ON “JUST TRANSITION” FOR UNFCCC COP 28

“States shall consult and cooperate in good faith with the indigenous peoples concerned through their own representative institutions in order to obtain their free and informed consent prior to the approval of any project affecting their lands or territories and other resources…”

-        UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Article 32 paragraph 2

1.     The only way to ensure achievement of the Paris Agreement Goal of 1.5 C global temperature rise, thereby limiting the adverse impacts on the ways of life, food and eco-systems of Indigenous Peoples around the world, is for all states to commit to an equitable and rights-based phase out of fossil fuels at COP 28, coupled with a commitment to a fair and just transition to sustainable, non-carbon-based energy sources.

2.     Current discussions of “Just Transition” which began at SBSTA in June 2023 are solution-based and can make a substantive contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gasses, prevention of loss and damage, protection of the planet’s eco-systems, biodiversity, and Indigenous Peoples ways of life.

3.     The term “Just Transition” and the criteria that govern its implementation have not yet been fully defined. We are concerned that unless the definition and criteria are clarified and confirmed, and rights and environmental safeguards are firmly established, projects carried out in the name of “Just Transition” will lead to greenwashing of destructive practices that further violate the rights of Indigenous Peoples, similar to the way “Nature-based” and “net-zero” solutions are being promoted and implemented.   

4.     Indigenous Peoples’ rights, perspectives, knowledge systems and lived experiences must be considered and taken into account in the definitions, criteria and implementation of “Just Transition” projects and programs.    

5.     The rights affirmed in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, including inter alia Articles 12, 26, and 32, as well as the commitment in Preambular Paragraph 11 of the Paris Agreement, must provide a framework for defining what is “just” in this regard.

6.     The mining of transition minerals such as lithium, copper, nickel, chromium and helium, constructing of mega-dams, establishing palm oil and other mono-crop plantations, and building industrial wind farms are several examples of “Just Transition” being carried out on Indigenous Peoples’ lands and territories without their Free Prior and Informed Consent. This cannot be defined as a transition from “business as usual” and these activities certainly cannot be called “just”.    

7.     Recognizing that industrial agriculture also makes a substantial contribution to the creation of greenhouse gasses, including through soil degradation, mono-cultivation and deforestation, we call for the protection and restitution of agroecology based on Indigenous Peoples ancestral practices, knowledge and science, and a phase out of industrial agricultural practices as an essential component of “Just Transition.”        

8.     Indigenous Peoples’ knowledge, science, and time-tested practices can make substantial contributions to ongoing and current policy discussions and decisions regarding “Just Transition” including integration of ancestral as well as new sustainable technologies implemented with the Free Prior and Informed consent of the impacted Indigenous Peoples. Indigenous Peoples must therefore be full participants in all such discussions at the national and international levels.   

COP28 Indigenous Peoples Dialogue with the UN Climate Change High-Level Champions, the COP 28 Presidency, and the UNFCCC Secretariat

In line with the celebration of the Indigenous Peoples Day at COP28 the @iipfcc participated in the COP28 Indigenous Peoples Dialogue with the UN Climate Change High-Level Champions, the COP 28 Presidency, and the UNFCCC Secretariat on 5 December in the Blue Zone at the Expo City Dubai.

Indigenous Peoples are key agents of change for climate action and for ensuring a just transition for all. Growing evidence shows that Indigenous Peoples values, knowledge, practices, and ways of living are instrumental for environmental conservation, maintaining biodiversity, furthering green jobs, enhancing resilience, and addressing climate change.

The Dialogue focused on how collective action can support both Indigenous Peoples inclusion in just transition plans and highlight clear examples of how Indigenous Peoples are already leading and contributing to just and inclusive transitions.
