At COP30 in Brazil, Indigenous groups protested for climate justice, demanding secure territories and an end to extractive industries. Their message resonated at the Nyéléni Forum in Sri Lanka, where over a thousand grassroots food producers and activists gathered to discuss food sovereignty. The forum concluded with the Kandy Declaration, which promotes agroecology and community control over land and resources. Participants highlighted the negative impacts of industrial agriculture and corporate land grabs on local communities. They called for a shift towards sustainable practices that respect Indigenous rights and traditional knowledge. The alignment of these movements underscores a global demand for a more equitable approach to climate governance, prioritizing the voices of those directly affected by environmental changes.
