As leaders gather in New York City for the United Nations General Assembly, it’s time to move from global promises to action. One solution that can help get us there? Indigenous-led conservation. Indigenous Peoples protect some of the planet’s largest intact ecosystems—areas that are vital for storing carbon, fighting climate change, and preserving biodiversity. By honouring and centering Indigenous leadership the world can find hope and solutions that not only help meet climate targets, but help ensure a better future for all of us.
