Esquema

Indigenous Peoples are on the frontline of climate change, yet those most affected by climate decisions often lack meaningful participation in shaping them. This session brings together three Indigenous youth speakers from Southeast Asia to show how that gap can be closed, from interventions in village classrooms to the COP negotiating room. The session begins by exploring how climate gamification supports informed decision-making among Indigenous youth in South Kalimantan, where limited access to literacy makes it harder to fully understand climate intervention engagemnet. It then examines how Indigenous Peoples' rights, consent and benefit-sharing are reflected, or overlooked, in COP documents particularly from the perspective of Indigenous landscapes. The session closes by discussing access to climate justice, finance and governance, reflecting on Indigenous Peoples' experiences in global processes such as the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage from Global context. There will be, an interactive life simulation module that invites participants to understanding how choosing climate projects, and to see how those choices affect their lives, land and future. Objective 1. To show how climate gamification can build climate literacy and informed decision-making among Indigenous children and youth in remote communities with limited access to education. 2. To examine how Indigenous Peoples' rights, consent and benefit-sharing are reflected, or overlooked, in COP documents and carbon market frameworks, and to share Indigenous youth recommendations for stronger safeguards. 3. To highlight barriers to Indigenous Peoples' access to climate justice, finance and governance, drawing on experience in global processes such as the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage. 4. To give participants a first-hand understanding, through an interactive life simulation, of how climate project decisions affect Indigenous communities' lives, land and future.
