Indigenous Peoples are facing the impacts of climate change - have been doing so for decades. Yet, when it comes to funding for climate solutions, they rarely get any funds. Please uplift our communities so that we are leading our own efforts. https://t.co/P7JYMDUD0T

Indigenous Peoples throughout the world are disproportionately impacted by fossil fuels and the increasing impacts of climate change. More carbon markets, offsets and removals must not be considered as solutions.-Tom Goldtooth, IEN
Over 100 civil society groups call on @UNFCCC #CarbonMarkets body to reject dangerous, unproven carbon removals as offsets. The process currently favours the #CDR industry who want to profit from #FalseSolutions to the #ClimateCrisis!

All carbon offsets, trading, and market-based systems are distractions from true climate action to phase out fossil fuels. Hands off Indigenous lands! #StopCO2Colonialism #NoFalseSolutions
