Indigenous leaders give the UN a roadmap for protecting their peoples
Indigenous leaders presented a 12-point plan to the UN through the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (EMRIP) to address crises like climate change, violence, and AI threats. The proposal urges rapid action to protect Indigenous land, rights, and lives, while concerns about EMRIP’s financial stability overshadowed the event.
