Karibu grantee partner IBON International (the Philippines) is currently attending COP29, the UN’s global climate conference held this year in Azerbaijan. They are organizing a series of public events that aim to put voices of the global South on the agenda when it relates to climate justice.
As part of this efforts, they have also released a new e-book entitled “Unlocking the Power of Community-Led Climate Solutions” that lifts up stories from 6 global South countries.
IBON International writes:
“In many communities across the Global South, traditional practices and indigenous knowledge offer invaluable insights into sustainable land management, biodiversity conservation, and climate resilience. These approaches, rooted in deep ecological understanding, are critical in confronting the climate crisis and can serve as effective alternatives to corporate-driven initiatives that harm both the environment and local communities. Recognising and integrating indigenous knowledge and community-led practices into climate action is essential to fostering resilience, promoting food security, and supporting sustainable development.
This book examines six case studies from Brazil, Chile, India, Indonesia, Paraguay, and Uganda. Each case study focuses on different climate issues but shares a common theme: people-powered solutions rooted in community engagement, local knowledge, and collective action.”
