On this episode we talk about developing countries calling for immediate financial compensation for loss and damage caused by climate change, while developed countries have differed on how to address it. As Indigenous Peoples, we recognize the need for both short-term solutions like financing and long-term solutions like sovereignty and  self-determination. We also emphasize the importance of protecting traditional knowledge and practices in addressing climate change. Throughout the day, we have participated in bilateral meetings  and discussions, and continue to strive for sovereignty and diplomacy in  advancing our positions in negotiations. Enjoy!

The COP27 daily debriefs ( this was day 1) offers insight into the complex and ongoing negotiations in Egypt, on this episode I shared my thoughts on the rushed process of setting up the methodologies for the supervisory body of article 6, which raised concerns about the integrity and effectiveness of this mechanism.

This episode is a short speech I gave at the 15th session of the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. I didn't have much time (less than 2 minutes) so I decided to answer the four most frequently raised questions and concerns around the enhanced participation process and get that on the States' and UN's record. Enjoy!

Today's episode is a short clip from the indigenous team that's involved in the Article 6 negotiations at COP26 in Glasgow. This was after we did a debrief and sat around to talk off the record about the negotiations. I love chats like these as they're opportunities to dive deep, share insight and share knowledge. You'll also hear Frank Ettawageshik (Executive Director of the United Tribes of Michigan and President of  Association on American Indian Affairs).

In this episode I share my own thoughts on who left the Bonn climate negotiations called SB56 with a bitter aftertaste or sweet aftertaste. You'll hear how I rate the experiences of the Santiago Network on Loss and Damage, City of Bonn, Observers, Egypt as the COP27 Presidency, Farmers, Oceans, Marriott, German Public Transportation and others. Enjoy the episode and let me know which you agree with and which not.

My friends, in this episode I think out loud about the Bonn climate change negotiations leading up to COP27. I recorded it whilst the closing plenary was ongoing, but couldn't wait to process it all. So you'll hear what I'm hoping to do in relation to the Article 6 carbon market mechanism, my thoughts on some of the key players at the table, and examples about how Indigenous Peoples have worked on this specific issue. Enjoy!

My friends, today's episode is a clip from my speech at a panel on participation of Indigenous Peoples and civil-society in climate negotiations. In this event organised by the UN Office of the High-Commissioner on Human Rights, like any other event, I tried to give as much value to people. I didn't write anything in advance. This is the only preparation I did: I took into account that the event was early in the negotiations, seeing that civil-society and State representatives sat in the room, thought about the expectations that people have from these climate talks, listening to what the previous speakers have said and if I agree or disagree with them or not. These and more are factors I take into account when I think about what I want to say. Its safe to say that I don't have a pre-written speech, just some points, but most of it is being in the room and listening to the room. Enjoy!

What's up podcast listeners. Today's episode is particular for indigenous youth, as most people like myself provide advice with youth in the back of their mind. On this chat I'm doing it with having youth in the front of it. My contribution to this panel is about how you can easily advocate for climate justice, indigenous justice and more not with fancy words or graphs, but simply with what you have. How you can make more impact with less tools. Hint: The only tools are your brains and your smartphone.....yup its that easy. Enjoy the episode!

This episode is a conversation I had with a delegate from an indigenous organisation in Latin-America at the climate change summit in Glasgow, COP26. He and many delegates that wanted to make themselves valuable to the movement ask me to sit down with them and give a rundown of the Article 6 game, and where I need them. Pay attention to how I try to continuously make the super technical negotiations practical and understandable for him, and in the end listen to how I circle my thoughts back to actionable and relevant information. Enjoy!
