Woven
Woven is a global initiative fighting for climate stability through Indigenous solutions. Believing the protection of our planet is dependent on the protection and advancement of Indigenous rights and sovereignty, Woven supports projects on land defense, conservation, and climate campaigns.
In 2024, ICA’s Eriel Deranger was awarded the Climate Breakthrough Award, the single-largest climate philanthropy program for individuals—and Woven was born. Drawing together representatives from the seven socio-cultural regions of the world, Woven formed the first-ever Global Indigenous Advisory Council (GIAC), amplifying regional, grassroots movements to create a global impact.
In accordance with the prophecy, Woven creates space for connections, collaborative action, and a global knowledge exchange—built by and for Indigenous peoples. We remain steadfast in the belief that ancestral knowledge, culture, and teachings are not a mere component, but the single-most formidable force in securing a climate-stable future. Understanding that the liberation of our communities and the liberation of our planet are intertwined, we gather Indigenous wisdom, strength, and solutions at a global scale.
“Indigenous peoples have been some of the most formidable advocates in advancing climate change as a global political issue. We have been calling for the most progressive targets, mitigation, and adaptation strategies in the world and our communities are responding to the climate crisis in ways that draw from our traditional knowledge systems and merge colonial technologies to create locally controlled and sustainable energy, food, and economic climate solutions.”
