Host Organisation: Secretaria de Estado dos Povos Indígenas do Pará e Articulação Nacional das Mulheres Indígenas Guerreiras da Ancestralidade (ANMIGA)
Description:
The panel will propose a dialogue between indigenous leaders - with emphasis on women in climate leadership positions, government representatives, third sector and experts in forest restoration strategies in Indigenous Lands in the Amazon, especially in the state of Pará.
The discussion will address how indigenous protagonism, based on ancestral knowledge and territorial governance practises with indigenous women of ANMIGA has guided public policies and sustainable forest recovery initiatives, income generation and adaptation to climate change.
Proposals for climate solutions will be presented, with emphasis on the recovery of indigenous lands. The panel will present the results of research developed by Instituto Escolhas and Nia Tero in partnership with the Secretary of State for Indigenous Peoples (SEPI) that estimate the potential for investments and the socio-environmental benefits of forest recovery in Indigenous Lands, including carbon removal, food production and strengthening of forest-based economies under the leadership of indigenous women.
By integrating the perspective of climate investments with female leadership and traditional knowledge, the panel seeks to demonstrate that the paths to the restoration of the Amazon necessarily go through the valorisation of the voices and governance of indigenous peoples.
