#COP30 | ๐Ÿ“ข Join us on our side-event at the COP30 being held in Belรฉm, the heart of the Amazon. This session explores how Indigenous communities are advancing climate action and environmental stewardship through innovative uses of technology, data, and storytelling, while reflecting their own governance systems, values, and data sovereignty principles. It will introduce the Indigenous Navigator Climate Change Survey Module, a tool for assessing how national frameworks uphold the rights of Indigenous Peoples in climate responses, including state obligations to prevent foreseeable harm in line with international human rights standards. The session is jointly organized by Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact (AIPP), Danish Institute for Human Rights (DIHR), Tebtebba, International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs (IWGIA), Kapaeeng Foundation, Lawyers' Association for Human Rights of Nepalese Indigenous Peoples, the University of California, Berkeley, and the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center for Data Science and the Environment.

Through the Indigenous Navigator, a global initiative designed by and for Indigenous Peoples, Indigenous communities document the gaps in the implementation of their rights and use the data to guide their self-determined development strategies. This publication aims to enhance transparency and share insights into the methodologies used and the experiences related to data collection, particularly the data gathered through the Indigenous Navigator community questionnaire.

After conducting surveys, the Oltepesi community identified this problem and received support from the Indigenous Navigator to create an irrigation system through which to grow fruit and vegetables. As a result, the women are now producing food for the household and selling the surplus, which gives them economic stability. It allows them to send their children to school, laying the foundation for breaking the cycle of poverty.
