In a powerful call to action ahead of the UN Climate Conference (COP30) in Belém this November, a coalition of more than 300 Indigenous peoples from across Brazil has presented a sweeping set of demands for the country’s updated climate commitments, insisting that the demarcation and protection of Indigenous territories must be formally recognized as a central pillar of Brazil’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement.

The 19-page declaration, signed by the Articulação dos Povos Indígenas do Brasil (APIB) and regional Indigenous federations, argues that Indigenous lands are “the last barriers to global collapse.”
