A resilient planet depends on Indigenous leadership. At the #UNEA7 Special Dialogue on Indigenous Peoples, we reaffirmed that Indigenous knowledge systems, sciences, and practices are vital to the planet’s survival - and @unep.org will not stop listening, learning and championing Indigenous rights.
