Amazon Watch works to protect the rainforest by advancing the rights of indigenous peoples. At COP21 in Paris, we worked closely with indigenous leaders to help amplify the calls to keep the oil in the ground and stop mega-dams in the Amazon to avoid climate chaos. Defending indigenous rights, territories, living forests and flowing rivers are demonstrably effective solutions to climate change. Together, we are growing the movement to leave all fossil fuels in the ground and promote a just transition to 100% renewable energy.

On the 15th of March 2019, 1.5 million people around the world participated in School Strike for Climate; most of whom walked out of school to do so. This was about young people all over the world

On the 15th of March 2019, 1.5 million people around the world participated in School Strike for Climate; most of whom walked out of school to do so. This was about young people all over the world taking a stand, rising up, and saying enough is enough. In this thoughtful and engaging talk, activist Lucy Gray makes a compelling argument for putting climate justice at the centre of humanity’s path forward. Lucy is a 12-year-old climate activist and songwriter. She found her passion in climate action in 2017 and started a climate action group in her school, encouraging young people to come along and learn about climate change. When the international school strikes reached New Zealand, Lucy saw that were strikes registered all across New Zealand, but none in Christchurch, so she decided to lead the Christchurch strike; she also founded the Christchurch School Strike for Climate (SS4C) group and is now also a co-convenor of the national School Strike for Climate NZ team, a group created by students, for students, to plan and run strikes, and to urge the government to act urgently on climate change. Lucy has another passion—music. She wrote a song about changing the way we act, and standing up for what is right, called ‘Rise Up’, which she has performed at the strike and other future focused events like National Young Leaders Day and Festival for the Future. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

We are in a historic moment wherein world leaders will continue drafting a new global treaty agreement on climate change this year in Lima at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference on Parties (COP). The final agreement is then expected to be signed in 2015 at the COP 21 in Paris. Having the voices of our Indigenous communities at this global meeting on climate is critical, and we need your help getting there. We are raising funds to support our work for Climate Justice and Indigenous Rights as we bring together Indigenous Women of the South and North of the Americas for the formation of an International Compact Agreement as Life-Givers for Future Generations, as Keepers of the Waters, as Defenders for the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and as Sisters, Mothers and Grandmothers in Defense of the Territorial Integrity of Mother Earth. (Learn more at IndigenousRising.org) On this trip, delegates will… Participate in mobilizations and activities that will demand that government leaders be more accountable to people and the planet now and in the future; Participate with international social movement allies in shaping global organizing strategies to challenge corporate-driven policies; Participate in self-organized activities that we will coordinate with allies; Participate in delegation briefings, orientations and strategy discussions to guide our work in our frontline Native communities, nationally and internationally. Build relationships with one another, share local work and build a stronger grassroots movement in the United States. Strengthen our relationship with our indigenous brothers and sisters from the Amazon and Andes; as well as other regions of the world. We will also be taking part in a US-based sister Social and Climate Justice group, called Grassroots for Global Justice (GGJ). Your heartfelt support is always deeply appreciated.
