The International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples is observed on August 9 each year to promote and protect the rights of Indigenous Peoples around the world. The date commemorates the first United Nations Working Group on Indigenous Populations meeting in Geneva in 1982. This year's theme is "Leaving No One Behind: Indigenous Peoples and the call for a social contract.”
El Día Internacional de los Pueblos Indígenas, se conmemora cada año el 9 de agosto, como un recordatorio de la reunión del Grupo de trabajo de las Naciones Unidas sobre poblaciones Indígenas de la Subcomisión sobre la promoción y protección de los Derechos Humanos, la cual se llevó a cabo en 1992.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projects that we have less than 12 years to avoid a definite future of catastrophic consequences. The High Level Political Forum (HLPF) is the core United Nations platform to discuss these repercussions. There, representatives review the global sustainable development goals set for 2030 and follow-up with nations about their commitments to combat climate change.
