A Call from Indigenous Peoples: Weaving a Human Rights-based Approach in Loss and Damage
Loss and damage experienced by Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous Women constitutes an existential threat. The operationalisation of the Loss and Damage Finance Facility must reflect their demands – and show a new paradigm under the Global Stocktake which recognises them for their climate leadership.
Speakers: This event will facilitate a respectful and constructive dialogue between Indigenous Peoples from different socio-cultural regions and State Parties. This will involve an inclusive panel representing intersections such as gender and age. The audience will be invited to engage interactively.

Freeing ourselves from the “net”: Course correcting climate action to Real Zero
Many “net zero” climate plans are riddled with faulty arithmetic, unproven schemes, and too little action far too late. False solutions are causing tremendous harm and aren’t reducing emissions. Discover the real solutions that have the greatest potential to reduce emissions urgently and equitably.
Speakers: Speakers–including local communities, experts, scientists, and activists– will present case studies of the impacts of false solutions and the promise of real, proven solutions. You’ll hear from them in an interactive format that allows for deeper engagement and discussion amongst participants.
