High-Level Expert Seminar on climate change impacts: Expanding situations of vulnerability on Indigenous Peoples, Afro-descendant populations and Latin American migrants.
This initiative is part of the joint effort led by Costa Rica, Spain and the Holy See in support of the people most affected by climate change, complementing the efforts of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) that will be presented prior to the Pre-COP Milan, Italy in September 2021.
This High-Level Expert Seminar represents an excellent opportunity to raise awareness of the critical actions needed to ensure the well-being of Indigenous Peoples, Afro-descendants and Migrants. This initiative also aims to promote the protection of the rights of Indigenous Peoples, Afro-descendants and Migrants, recognizing their contributions to preserve biodiversity as a response to climate change. Further, it promotes reinforcing actions and measures that guarantee the full and effective participation in decision-making processes that affect them.
