Climate change and colonialism are inextricably linked. The origins of the climate crisis can be traced back to the violation of Indigenous Peoples' rights. Moreover, both climate change impacts and globally legitimised “solutions” can have a disproportionate and adverse effect on Indigenous territories. This is paradoxical given the vital Indigenous defence of the natural world. This event aims to reflect on these challenges through the experiences of Indigenous representatives from diverse regions and the articles that will be published in a special issue of the online monthly magazine Indigenous Debates (Debates Indígenas). We aim to highlight Indigenous-led initiatives applicable at different scales to promote the decolonisation of climate policy at various levels of implementation.
