2024 has been the hottest year in recorded history, surpassing 1.5 degrees, and causing devastating physical and spiritual losses and damages in our homelands.
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.
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.

The building will also have a separate office. We have formed a committee with representatives from all regions that will be responsible for the selection of proposals and the design.
Thanks to this group, we are excited to launch the Call for Sessions for the Indigenous Peoples Pavilion. We invite Indigenous Peoples, Indigenous organisations, support organisations, and Parties to submit events – such as presentations, policy dialogues, roundtables and publication launches – and artistic demonstrations – such as images and videos – by 18 September 2022. Please note that those wishing to present a session in person need UNFCCC accreditation ('a badge').

Statement of the IIPFCC at the Joint Opening Plenary at COP27
Statement of the International Indigenous Peoples Forum on Climate Change (IIPFCC),
Joint Opening Plenary at COP27, Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt November 6, 2022
The IIPFCC statement was delivered by youth representative, Mr. Nourene Ahmat Yaya
Climate change is a matter of life and death. State actions have fallen far short, Greenhouse gas emissions and global temperatures are increasing, threatening genocide for Indigenous Peoples in Africa, the Arctic, Coastal, Small Island and all other ecosystems.
Indigenous Peoples’ rights are inherent, collective and internationally recognized, including rights to life, self-determination, lands and territories, food systems, and free prior and informed consent. We will not allow these rights to be diminished by conflating us with minorities, vulnerable groups or local communities.
We have the right to full and direct participation, including our youth, women, persons with disabilities and knowledge holders, in all UNFCCC bodies and processes including the new Article 6 grievance mechanism and the creation of a new financing mechanism accessible to Indigenous Peoples from all regions and eco-systems.
Carbon markets and offsets, geo-engineering, “Net Zero” frameworks, “Nature-based solutions”, “ecosystem services” do not cut emissions and are new forms of colonization.
The NDC’s must include clear indicators for drastic reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, including the accelerated phase out of fossil fuels in order to maintain the 1.5-degree Paris commitment. The Paris Agreement also commits States to respect, promote and consider their obligations to the rights of Indigenous Peoples in climate action. The Global Stock Take must focus on implementation of these commitments.
We commit to real solutions based on our knowledge, practices and time-tested sciences, and the full exercise of our rights, at the United Nations and in our own territories. We will continue to work with you for the survival of our children, and yours.
Thank you.
Note: This statement presented yesterday (in Arabic) by an Indigenous representative from the African Region last night in the plenary at formal opening of the COP 27 in Sharm el-Sheikh Egypt. The statement was limited to 2 minutes and a longer version was submitted to post. The IIPFCC statement was adopted after several hours of discussion by the entire Indigenous Peoples Caucus during preparatory meeting this past weekend. More than 200 IPs representatives from all regions are present.

The passing of our dear colleague Estebancio Castro-Diaz
Para la versión en español: Haga clic aquí
Estebancio Castro-Diaz, Kuna
On behalf of the International Indigenous Peoples Forum on Climate Change (IIPFCC), it is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of our dear friend, brother, colleague, and mentor Estebancio Castro-Diaz.
Estebancio is a Kuna leader who has been involved in the international movement for climate justice and rights of Indigenous Peoples for decades. He played an essential role as Focal Point of the Indigenous Peoples Constituency (the Caucus) as well as a member of the Facilitative Working Group of the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform (‘The Platform’), representing the Latin America and the Caribbean UN Indigenous socio-cultural region. Put simply, indigenous participation within the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) would not be as successful without Estebancio having participated for so long. This has been recognized by the Executive Secretary, the Chair of the SBSTA, and all Constituency groups.
This legacy is difficult to meaningfully articulate in words. Over the last week, hundreds of stories and memories of Estebancio have been shared over email and video calls. Many remember him as an exceptionally skilled diplomat who not only took his responsibilities to advocate for Indigenous Peoples around the globe to heart, but also developed a unique style that included humility, dedication, and laughter. He was steadfast in his commitment to protecting Mother Earth, highlighted by his dedication into the late hours of the night and the final hours of these large conferences. But no matter the seriousness of the situation, he is remembered to have always brought good humour, a cheeky smile, and deep empathy.
Many old and new members of the IIPFCC, and the broader international Indigenous movement, credit Estebancio’s generous teaching with the skills, knowledge, and diplomacy required to continue the legacy of making space for Indigenous Peoples and Nations in state-led processes. He was welcoming to all Indigenous Peoples entering the space, but took extra care in supporting the participation of Indigenous Youth - many who credit their understanding of these complex processes to him and his willingness to answer questions, listen, and direct with a gentle hand.
A core part of this work for Indigenous Peoples is being a good ancestor to those future generations. As Estebancio makes his journey to being an ancestor, we honour, from all seven regions, his extensive legacy for Indigenous Peoples worldwide. We are privileged to carry his spirit with us always.
We send our love and care to Estebancio’s family and Kuna Yala in this time of grief and loss.
Rest in power, dear brother Estebancio.
The Last Goodbye
Receiving news of a brothers passing
Feeling them in the morning light
next to a fresh fire
Snowflakes, perfect stars shining down on me.
Feeding the fire
Saying thank you brother - for all the laughter you gave.
For all that you shared, for your spirit and endurance.
For all those years you paved a way for us to continue on.
The fire running through the day.
Oh, how you will be missed!
