As the 23rd Session of UNPFII concludes, we join elders like IEN's Council on Human Rights & Climate Change, Alberto Saldamando, in feeling inspired for the next generation of youth leaders who are continuing the fight to protect Mother Earth and the rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Money backing false solutions comes from Big Oil and other polluters. False solutions come with a price tag- not only does it allow big polluters to keep polluting and lining their pockets, but our environment and people pay the ultimate cost.

#UNPFII2024 #NoFalseSolutions

The commodification of nature and exploitation of people go hand in hand, and we cannot address climate change without centering human rights!

IEN's Council on Human Rights and Climate Change, Alberto Saldamando, says if we would have listened to the science warning us years ago, we would not be facing the climate catastrophes that we experience today. This starts with keeping fossil fuels in the ground!

Carbon markets enable the fossil fuel industry to keep polluting. Tom Goldtooth emphasizes the importance of balance in the natural world, and led our IEN delegation at #UNPFII calling for a permanent moratorium on false solutions!

#NoFalseSolutions #EndCo2lonialism

Colonization, patriarchy, white supremacy, militarism, capitalism, & an extraction-based economy has disrupted our relationship to the land and natural order. This legacy of power and control cannot continue in addressing the climate crisis.

Indigenous peoples rush to stop ‘false #climate solutions’ such as carbon markets. Carbon markets are a smokescreen — “a loophole — [that keeps] #FossilFuel polluters from agreeing to phase out carbon.” Tom Goldtooth Indigenous Environmental Network

🌿 Indigenous leaders are speaking out against false climate solutions like carbon markets. At the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, Tom Goldtooth and the Indigenous Environmental Network called for a long overdue switch-up. 🌍

🛑 Carbon markets are not only ineffective in mitigating climate…

IEN Climate Geoengineering Organizer, Panganga Pungowiyi reminds us that relationships are integral to true, sustainable climate solutions.
