Cultural Survival and First Peoples Worldwide consider it necessary to address a growing international position that combines and equates Indigenous Peoples–and in particular, their affirmed rights to lands and territories and Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC)–with local communities within the term “Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities” or “IPLC.” The combination of these two different entities disregards the collective rights to which Indigenous Peoples are entitled as distinct, self-determining Peoples.

Del 7 al 19 de noviembre de 2022, Sharm el-Sheik, Egipto, será el anfitrión de la Conferencia Anual de la ONU sobre el Cambio Climático - la 27ª sesión de la Conferencia de las Partes de las Naciones Unidas de la Convención Marco sobre el Cambio Climático (CMNUCC COP27). 

For 50 years, Cultural Survival has partnered with Indigenous communities to advance Indigenous Peoples' rights and cultures worldwide. We envision a future that respects and honors Indigenous Peoples' inherent rights and dynamic cultures, deeply and richly interwoven in lands, languages, spiritual traditions, and artistic expression and rooted in self-determination and self-governance.

From November 7 to 19, 2022, Sharm el-Sheik, Egypt will host the annual two-week UN Climate Change Conference - the 27th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC COP27).
