COVID-19, Biodiversity and Climate Change: Indigenous Peoples Defining the Path Forward

10 September 2020
Online

Indigenous Peoples and local communities manage more than half of the world´s land. These biodiverse ancestral lands are vital to the people who steward them and the planet we all share.

This is specifically true for forests managed by Indigenous Peoples, where much of the world’s carbon is stored.
