Global study on Indigenous Peoples’ climate contributions (executive summary)

Led by ELATIA with support from the Mohamed bin Zayed Fund, this study offers the most comprehensive mapping yet of Indigenous Peoples' climate leadership. It distills insights from more than 700 initiatives, highlighting self-determined solutions, nature-based innovation, and climate justice in action. It calls for a radical shift in climate finance and governance, redirecting flows, reframing impact metrics, and ensuring Indigenous Peoples are not just stakeholders, but powerholders in climate decision-making.
