    Indigenous Peoples Reach Unanimous Agreement on Defining the Just Transition and Provide Principles and Protocols to Eliminate Harm from Renewable Energy and ā€˜Green’ Development

    To implement these principles, Indigenous leaders at the Summit have committed to initiating processes for their Peoples to safeguard what they ā€œdetermine to be critical for their survival and well-being that is rooted in their worldviews and values,ā€ and ā€œdisseminate, promote, and defend these principles and protocolsā€, as well as ā€œuse them in their education, trainings, and advocacy efforts.ā€ They will also continue to ā€œengage and challenge regulations, standards, laws, policies, and actions that ignore their Free, Prior, and Informed Consentā€, stand in solidarity with one another to oppose the imposition of ā€œgreen energyā€ projects impacting their lands, call for ā€œimplementation of an ecosystem approach,ā€ and ā€œdemand that Indigenous, human, environmental, and lands rights defenders be protected.ā€
