They have been using their traditional knowledge to conserve and protect their environment over the years.\u201d Our Pledge For centuries, Indigenous Peoples, local communities, and Afro-descendant Peoples have been the guardians of our planet\u2019s biodiversity and climate. The solutions they offer are among the most effective in the world. Balkisou Buba, Vice National Coordinator of REPALEAC, Cameroon. The Indigenous Peoples Forest Tenure Pledge marked a significant step forward in recognizing the critical role of traditional peoples in climate solutions. COP26 was a watershed. After several years of advocating and demanding direct resources for climate action, Indigenous Peoples achieved an unprecedented victory: renewed hope and the possibility to protect their territories and ways of life. It meant that the world was starting to recognize their role in fighting climate change. It brought additional funding and attention, and motivated the creation of mechanisms and guidelines by communities. Joel Redman \/ If Not Us Then Who \u201cThe significance was that for the first time we recognised that Indigenous Peoples are key, are critical, are essential to solving the climate challenge.\u201d Darren Walker, President of the Ford Foundation These steps taken forward since 2021, need a continuous strand of support, as well as greater ambition, in order to reach humanity\u2019s targets to tackle the climate crisis. If their territories have stood amongst the best protected on Earth with the amount of resources that have reached them,\u00a0 imagine what they could do with increased support? Hugo Metz \/ If Not Us Then Whon Who We must build on this momentum to secure a future where nature thrives and communities prosper. We must ensure that Indigenous, Afro-descendant and local communities have greater control over their territories, their livelihoods, and climate funds. Joel Redman \/ If Not Us Then Who \u201cIt&#8217;s urgent because things are moving. We&#8217;ve seen all the climate crises all over the world, like flooding, wildfires. It&#8217;s not waiting for us. It&#8217;s happening. We have seen all the killing and criminalization of land rights defenders. It&#8217;s not waiting. So that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s very urgent to get this pledge, get it out there.\u201d Solange Badjiaki-Badji, President and Coordinator of the Rights and Resources Initiative.
