In April 2023, Cultural Survival submitted a joint stakeholder report with partner organizations IWGIA, Society for Threatened Peoples (STP), and International Committee of Indigenous Peoples of Russia (ICIPR) on the state of Indigenous Peoples’ rights in the Russian Federation for the 44th Universal Periodic Review.
On Day 1 of COP28, Pema Wangmo Lama Mugum, an Indigenous youth activist from the Mugum Indigenous Nations in Asia, from the National Indigenous Women's Federation - NIWF NEPAL read the International Indigenous Peoples Forum on Climate Change opening statement.

A group of women dance and sing around the fire. The atmosphere is one of camaraderie and joy. In addition to singing and dancing, they play games, paint tattoos, and offer words of gratitude to the land and to themselves for having shared knowledge and experiences in recent days to continue to protect their territories. The feeling is one of bittersweetness, but also of satisfaction.
Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that we are headquartered on Massachusett land, in Cambridge, MA, and we thank the past, current, and future Indigenous stewards of this territory.
