In the Amazon Basin (Peru, Ecuador, Brazil and Colombia), TNC has been promoting discussions and analysis with indigenous organizations to understand how we can elevate IP&LCs to access climate finance and participate in NCS projects. This event brings together Indigenous and government representatives for an empowered discussion on how to empower and elevate IP&LC access to climate finance, participating in NCS projects based on respect for their rights.
