Relive the highlights of our workshop on Advisory Opinions during New York Climate Week!

A space for dialogue and exchange to gather feedback and reflections on a document exploring how international courts’ advisory opinions on climate change can serve as strategic advocacy tools for Indigenous Peoples, strengthening their voices, rights, and demands for climate justice. 🌎✊🏽

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this conversation and to the collective effort to explore new pathways for advancing climate justice through the rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Food sovereignty is climate resilience.

Climate-related disasters threaten Indigenous Peoples’ food systems, livelihoods, and access to food. Yet Indigenous Peoples are already adapting agricultural practices and strengthening community-led responses rooted in their knowledge and governance systems.

Land is Life’s report, The Systems Behind the Solutions, highlights why protecting territories, supporting Indigenous-led solutions, and ensuring access to flexible climate finance are essential to building resilience.
Food sovereignty begins with Indigenous Peoples’ rights to their lands, knowledge, and self-determination.

💧 Your voice matters in shaping the future of water governance.

The first draft of the Stakeholder Declaration for the 2026 Conference is open for feedback ahead of the Conference in Abu Dhabi this December.

We invite to review the draft and share their input to help ensure that Indigenous Peoples’ rights, knowledge, priorities, and proposals are meaningfully reflected in the declaration, not simply mentioned.

Indigenous Peoples are rights-holders, not stakeholders. This consultation does not replace any declaration Indigenous Peoples may wish to advance independently at the Conference.

📄 Read the draft and share your feedback by October 22, 2026, at 10:00 PM New York time.

🔗 Read the declaration and submit your feedback:

Today is DAF Day.
Indigenous Peoples are already leading the work to defend their territories, advance their rights, and strengthen their communities. The question is whether funding follows that leadership.
In 2025, Land is Life strengthened 135 Indigenous-led organizations and supported work that helped make 178 Indigenous defenders safer across 136 Indigenous Peoples.
If you have a Donor-Advised Fund, you can recommend a grant to Land is Life today and put more resources behind Indigenous-led action.
Give from your DAF → link in bio.

58%. 0.6%. Something doesn’t add up.
Indigenous Peoples are already leading. In 2025, Land is Life strengthened 135 Indigenous-led organizations and supported work that made 178 defenders safer across 136 Indigenous Peoples.
