Partnering with GGKP: Amplifying Indigenous Voices on Green Forum

Our organization has formed a partnership with the Global Green Growth Knowledge Partnership (GGKP) to advance our sustainable development goals. As part of this collaboration, we created an account on the Green Forum, a platform for dialogue on environmental issues, under the name "Indigenous Reflection."

Indigenous Reflections is a group for digital consultations and dialogues with indigenous people and communities. It will foster interaction and knowledge sharing on indigenous concerns and perspectives on youth, education, and the environment, with the objective of policymakers' being able to read and consult indigenous people publicly. The goal of Indigenous Reflections is to build a link for indigenous peoples to be involved in discussions about issues ranging from their livelihood to environmental sustainability.

Indigenous
The Indegenous

The ability to actively participate in the economic, political, and social aspects of any crisis through social media and the internet has become increasingly important but remains a major barrier for indigenous peoples around the world. There is a considerable divide and gap since not everyone has access to contemporary technologies. The digital divide is the expanding gap between disadvantaged groups in society, notably indigenous and rural communities, who lack internet access.

The group is for indigenous people to interact and share information. In the long run, the group aims to provide a forum for indigenous youth and communities to voice their ideas and activities to safeguard indigenous rights and play a key role in global environmental governance.

As part of the Global Green Growth Institute's (GGGI) Global Green Growth Week for COP 27, we had the honor of being one of the panel spokespersons. Along with renowned figures such as Frank Rijsberman (Director General of GGGI) and Hyoeun Jenny Kim (South Korea's Ambassador and Deputy Minister for Climate Change), we discussed the crucial role that countries and the private sector have in addressing the climate crisis through collaboration with indigenous communities. Our message emphasized the importance of empowering indigenous peoples and ensuring their participation in decision-making processes related to climate action.
