Climate change and indigenous peoples, afro-descendants and migrants examined at global seminar
27 May 2021, Rome – Indigenous peoples and afro-descendants’ knowledge, innovations and resilience capacities are essential for the transformation to a more sustainable and climate-friendly world and should be included in the policy-making processes, agreed the High-Level Seminar convened today by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the governments of Costa Rica, Spain and the Vatican.
Indigenous peoples are major contributors to positive change, yet these valuable contributions are seldom reflected in mitigation strategies and adaptation policies to address climate change, said FAO Director-General QU Dongyu in his opening remarks.
Rome, May 28 (Prensa Latina) Participants in a high-level virtual Seminar organized by FAO on Thursday advocated for a differentiated treatment of indigenous, Afro-descendant and migrant populations regarding climate change.
