It counted with the participation of Ana Toni, CEBRI Senior Fellow and Executive Director of iCS, Samela Sateré-Mawé, youth spokesperson for Articulação dos Povos Indígenas do Brasil (APIB) and was mediated by Izabella Teixeira, Trustee at CEBRI and former Minister of the Environment.
According to the event's participants, the presence of governors and mayors at the conference represents a positive aspect of this COP edition. Samela Sateré-Mawé and 40 other Indigenous leaders, mostly women, attended the conference in greater numbers than in previous editions. Mawé stated that Indigenous people need to participate in the debate about climate change, without intermediaries, as they are on the front lines, fighting deforestation and suffering its consequences directly.
