Organized with the support of the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples (MPI), from the Government of Acre, through the Extraordinary Secretariat of Indigenous Peoples (SEPI), and the Acre Pro-Indian Commission (CPI-AC), the Seminar brings together representatives of the Indigenous Peoples of Acre and Amazonas to discuss strategic issues of COP30, such as climate, biodiversity, safeguards, carbon credits and benefits.
Minister Sônia Guajajara will present on the last day of the seminar the main guidelines that will be discussed at COP30, focusing on indigenous participation in the international processes of climate negotiation. According to Secretary Sepi, Francisca Arara, the proposal is to build a unified position among the peoples of the region and prepare their leaders for qualified performance in the global event.
“The intention of MPI is to make a pre-cup with representatives of Indigenous Peoples of Acre and Amazonas, with support from the state government, to build a well organized proposal for COP30,” he said.
Local leaders, such as Joaquim Tashka, from the Yawanawá people, highlight the seminar as a milestone in strengthening indigenous protagonism. “It is an opportunity to defend our rights and ensure that climate solutions respect traditional ways of life and the autonomy of indigenous peoples,” he said.
The event also has the support of Wild Foundation, Wins, Wildlife Works, Casa, Funai Socio -Environmental Fund and the Yawanawá Sociocultural Association (ASCY).
