Indigenous Peoples and local communities are indispensable partners for reaching the targets of the Paris Agreement on climate change, the Global Biodiversity Framework, and the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development. But, very little funding goes to Indigenous Peoples initiatives around the world and little is done to track the funds. My recommendations are: 1. Increase the amount of funding going directly to Indigenous Peoples territories. 2. Work directly with Indigenous Peoples and their organizations. 3. Robust mechanisms to track the funds going to Indigenous Territories. Thank you Global Alliance of Territorial Communities and Charapa for leading the consultation meeting with Indigenous Peoples and consolidating the report.

Do you ever wish our cities and municipalities were greener? Or that kids in local schools had more access to environmental education? What about resources for community members who want to do their part to protect our planet? Piedmont Environmental Alliance is the triad's largest coalition of environmental advocates who are working to do just that! Together with our members, we are accomplishing BIG things. Just recently, we have helped to... ✔️ Pass city and countywide resolutions to reach 100% renewable energy by 2050. ✔️ Pass an unanimous school board resolution in Winston-Salem/Forsyth County schools to fully integrate sustainability into both the curriculum and operations. ✔️ Enlist 15 local businesses to take action to reduce their carbon footprint, reduce landfill waste, and help us inspire our community to be more sustainable. ✔️ Build a coalition of advocates who are working within committees across the Triad to advocate for greener policies and practices. Want to stand with us in these efforts?
