Ozawa Bineshi Albert wants the world to stop relying on fossil fuels. So last year, the co-executive director of\u00a0Climate Justice Alliance<\/a>\u00a0flew from the U.S. to Egypt to make her voice heard at COP27, the international conference on climate change where world leaders gather to negotiate new commitments to battle the climate crisis.<\/p>\n

But at COP27, Albert, who is Anishinaabe and Yuchi, noticed that Indigenous peoples like herself were outnumbered by fossil fuel lobbyists. She was also struck by how many people touted nuclear energy as an alternative to burning oil and gas.<\/p>\n

\u201cNuclear is one of the most dirty, damaging energy sources, particularly for Indigenous people,\u201d she thought. \u201cIt touches Indigenous communities all along its life cycle from where it gets mined, to where it gets processed, to where nuclear power plants are placed, to where nuclear waste gets stored.\u201d<\/p>\n

That observation was just one indication of how the perspectives, and experiences, of Indigenous peoples aren\u2019t always reflected in the broader environmental movement. As COP28 kicks off in the United Arab Emirates this week, hundreds of Indigenous advocates are making their way to Dubai with the hope of ensuring that their communities aren\u2019t overlooked by global leaders.<\/p>\n

Though the conference doesn\u2019t officially begin until Thursday, the work has already started. Jennifer Tauli Corpuz is Kankanaey-Igorot from the Philippines and is managing director of policy at\u00a0Nia Tero<\/a>. She spent eight hours Tuesday in an auditorium with about 350 fellow members of the Indigenous Peoples Caucus, a delegation representing Native peoples, working on the details of a two-minute opening statement that the Caucus will be allowed to give during COP28\u2019s opening ceremony. Corpuz says it\u2019s not easy to distill everyone\u2019s perspectives and issues into such a short statement and the work required interpreters in five languages.<\/p>\n

Apart from ending fossil fuel reliance, Indigenous advocates at COP28 want to ensure that funding to offset the impacts of climate change reaches their communities; ensure Indigenous knowledge is seen as a solution to climate change; and prevent governments and private actors from violating their rights, especially as those actors pursue green energy projects.<\/p>\n

Corpuz said the caucus plans to approve advocacy papers outlining their positions Wednesday. Then comes the work of convincing negotiators to listen. But it\u2019s not easy.<\/p>\n

The estimated 350 Indigenous peoples at COP28 is an attendance record for Native advocates, but it\u2019s still far fewer than the 600 fossil fuel lobbyists who attended COP27 last year. As well, the most important work at the conference, negotiating the exact language of international climate change treaties, gets done behind closed doors among designated representatives from United Nations member countries.<\/p>\n

Corpuz estimates that perhaps 20 of the 350 Indigenous people at COP28 this week have government badges that allow them access to negotiations. But even then, because they aren\u2019t credentialed delegates representing a negotiating party, they are only able to watch and listen, not speak, she said.<\/p>\n

Still, it\u2019s an improvement over past years when Indigenous peoples\u2019 representatives\u00a0were locked out from even more rooms<\/a>, said Corpuz. At least now Indigenous representatives will be able to hear the details of the negotiations, the perspectives of international representatives, and carry the information back for advocates to lobby government delegates. \u201cA lot of the work of the Indigenous Caucus happens in the hallways,\u201d Corpuz said.<\/p>\n

A key question that\u2019s expected to be decided this year is how much money wealthy nations like the U.S. should pay in order to cover the costs of climate disasters in the Global South, an initiative known as the loss and damage fund. One study estimates that nations in the Global North are\u00a0responsible for 92 per cent of excess carbon emissions each year, compared with 8 per cent in the Global South.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s at stake is how these finance mechanisms are going to impact and be accessible to Indigenous communities and other impacted communities, how they will be funded, and to what levels will they be funded,\u201d Albert said. \u201cAnd will those resources actually get to communities and not be taken up by agencies that will administer them?\u201d<\/p>\n

Eriel Deranger of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation in Canada and executive director of\u00a0Indigenous Climate Action<\/a>, thinks that it makes sense that wealthy countries would be paying for climate impacts, but Deranger also wants the money to be available to Indigenous people no matter what country they live in due to already extreme\u00a0climate impacts, many of which are exacerbated by colonization and land theft.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIf Canada, for example, or the U.S. is contributing to the loss and damage fund and we don\u2019t have access to it as Indigenous people in North America or in the Global North, where are we going to see those kind of climate reparations and restitution for the damages that we are facing from the climate crisis?\u201d Deranger asked.<\/p>\n

But money is only part of the equation, said Kandi White, a citizen of the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nations in the U.S. and program director at the\u00a0Indigenous Environmental Network<\/a>, which sent a 25-member delegation to Dubai. \u201cFor Indigenous peoples, it\u2019s not just about the money, but it\u2019s also about the return of our sovereignty over our lands,\u201d said White.<\/p>\n

That sovereignty has been threatened by land grabs, including\u00a0recent land deals between a United Arab Emirates company and five African nations<\/a>\u00a0for the carbon credit trade, White said. The land deals were touted as a way to help conserve land and offset pollution, but White is concerned about whether the Indigenous people living there truly consented to the plan as well as how they\u2019ll be affected. It\u2019s part of a broader pattern of\u00a0conservation deals<\/a>\u00a0that are creating\u00a0conflict in Indigenous territories around the world<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both Deranger and White, who are in Dubai this week, also hope to establish a grievance procedure through which Indigenous peoples whose rights are infringed upon could hold governments accountable. \u201cWe need there to not just be lip service of, \u2018We recognize Indigenous rights,\u2019 but we need to see language that has teeth,\u201d Deranger said.<\/p>\n

But securing that level of accountability may be an uphill battle. Even when world leaders make promises, they don\u2019t always fulfill them: wealthy countries\u00a0blew a 2020 deadline to spend $100 billion a year<\/a>\u00a0to help poorer nations cope with climate impacts and make progress toward decarbonization. One study suggested that goal may have been met last year, two years late, even as the world\u00a0hurtles toward 3 degrees of warming.<\/a><\/p>\n

The combined challenges\u2014a lack of access to negotiating tables and tepid commitments by global leaders\u2014have fueled disillusionment. Mo\u00f1eka De Oro, who is Chamorro from the Mariana Islands and co-executive director of the\u00a0Micronesia Climate Change Alliance<\/a>, says that last year at COP some Indigenous Caucus members discussed boycotting the convention, \u201cno longer being a part of these processes that continuously degrade our input,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

De Oro recently helped\u00a0draft a declaration for peace, unity and climate justice in the Pacific<\/a>\u00a0to be read at COP that called for a future free of colonialism and militarization. But as much as she believes in that message, she joined a boycott of this year\u2019s convention with\u00a0Grassroots Global Justice Alliance<\/a>\u00a0protesting the Israeli government\u2019s war on Gaza, and questions whether to attend future meetings.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re going to continue to continuously be ignored and continuously be just erased from the entire process, I don\u2019t know how much longer we want to be complicit in attending these sorts of things,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The power imbalances can be discouraging but Ozawa Bineshi Albert still feels determined.<\/p>\n

\u201cCOP is not a place that we go to thinking we\u2019re going to get everything we want,\u201d she said. To her, the overarching question is: \u201cHow can we make sure that we at least hold the line and make sure the least amount of damage and the least amount of harm is caused to frontline and Indigenous communities?\u201d<\/p>\n
