Despite the leadership of Indigenous women in climate organizing, their voices have often been marginalized within the climate negotiations. Few Indigenous climate activists, particularly female climate activists from the Global South, are highlighted in media coverage of COP’s.

We refuse to accept Indigenous women’s erasure from the climate summit. Their voices must be placed at the center of decision-making at climate negotiations, and Indigenous communities must be placed at the heart of climate action. Since 2022 at COP27, Land Rights News - Climate Edition features Indigenous women fighting against climate change at all levels. Their stories illustrate the importance of Indigenous women’s ontologies and worldview to climate justice, and the urgency with which they seek to generate climate action for their communities and the planet. Through this campaign, we seek to challenge their invisibility and demand that they #MakeTheNews.
