People’s Climate March in NYC
Indigenous Peoples’ traditional teachings have long warned that if human beings failed to protect and care for Mother Earth and the natural world, the survival of humanity would be threatened. Today, increasingly severe impacts of climate change threaten ecosystems and food production around the world and Indigenous Peoples are on the frontlines of climate change impacts.
Indigenous Peoples are participating in the People’s Climate March to bring attention to the devastating impacts of climate change and to share our hopes and teachings for living in harmony with Mother Earth.

Dear colleagues,
The Third Conference on Small Island Developing States, taking place between 1-4 September in Apia, Samoa, is rapidly approaching.
The Third Conference on Small Island Developing States, taking place between 1-4 September in Apia, Samoa, is rapidly approaching.
Preceding the meeting, four Pre-Conference Forums will take place in select locations in Apia from 28-31 August 2014. The Pre-Conference Forums will be held outside of the UN security perimeter and therefore don’t require accreditation to the SIDS Conference.

Today is the last day to register - if you are planning on attending, you must fill out this form. More information on the Forum can be found here.
We would also like to use this opportunity to remind representatives of organizations that are accredited with the United Nations and plan to attend the official Conference to register here. Conference registration

Declaración de Abya Yala
05/23/2014
Naciones Unidas, NY
Señora
Presidenta:
Los pueblos originarios de Abya
Yala - América Latina y El Caribe,
estamos preocupados de que se esté cuestionando nuestra participación plena y
efectiva en el proceso que se desarrolla sobre la CMPI, dejando al margen el
contenido de la Declaración de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Derechos de los
Pueblos Indígenas, situación que vulnera nuestros derechos inherentes.
Por
tanto, enfatizamos en los siguientes puntos:
En
atención
al Cumplimiento de la Resolución de Naciones Unidas, donde se reconoce la participación plena y efectiva de
los Pueblos indígenas,
de llevar a cabo la CMPI, es fundamental nuestra participación durante todo el
proceso hasta el documento final.
Reiteramos
el cumplimiento a la resolución A/RES/66/296, conocido como la Resolución de las modalidades,
en la cual se asegura la participación en igualdad de condiciones de los asesores de parte
de los estados y de los pueblos indígenas.
Recordamos que la asamblea
General aprobó la Declaración UNDRIP, y según sus art. 18 y23, los pueblos indígenas tenemos el derecho a participar, a través de nuestros representantes en la adopción de decisiones que afecten a nuestros derechos y
elaborar prioridades y estrategias para el ejercicio a nuestro derecho al
desarrollo desde nuestra cosmovisión.
Por
lo tanto, los Pueblos Indígenas de Abya Yala urgimos al Presidente de la Asamblea General que honre la Resolución, donde se adoptó la
Declaración
de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas.
De
igual manera queremos resaltar la importancia del documento de Alta que tiene
como referencia de la ONU (A/67/994), que ha sido producto del consenso
adoptado por todas las regiones indígenas del mundo, la cual proporciona una base firme
para redactar el documento final de la conferencia mundial.
Por
último, urgimos al presidente que tome en cuenta al 98% de los Estados miembros
de la ONU que manifestaron su apoyo a celebración de la CMPI y reconocen la plena y efectiva
participación
de los pueblos indígenas, y exhortamos a los Estados que no lo han hecho, se
unan a esta decisión
y sean consecuentes con la adopción de la UNDRIP en el año 2007.
Muchas gracias.
Declaración presentado por:
Florina Lopez M

Event, the negotiations processes will take place on what the Post-2015
Development Agenda will be. The results of the OWG-SDG will feed into this
process.
The
other regional processes are the following: I cut this from the message of

should consider. So this is very relevant for the Pacific Caucus and also the
Carribean. Please interact with Roberto Mukaro Borrero who is from the
Caribbean and who is representing IITC, one of the Organizing
Partners for the OWG-SDGs, so he can help provide additional information on
this.

The
Organizing Partners for the Indigenous Peoples' Major Group are Tebtebba and
IIN (Indigenous Information Network from Kenya, for the South and International
Indian Treaty Council (IITC) for the North. There is very minimal participation
of indigenous peoples in these processes because there is very little support
for this and the DESA only supports one or two persons from the South. For
Tebtebba, we have Galina Angarova who is based
in
New York to engage on a more full-time basis with this process, among others
and for IITC they have Roberto Mukaro Borrero., also based in NY. For IIN this
is Lucy Mulenkei whose email is mulenkei@yahoo.com.
If
you want more information please email them. Galina's email is galina@tebtebba.org
