Beyond talking, COP30 must lead to action, says this Indigenous leader

Indigenous knowledge is as important as science in tackling the climate crisis, says Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim, President of the Association for Fulani Women and Indigenous Peoples of Chad. ‘We cannot resolve it with geo-engineering, with science alone or technology alone,’ she says. She has a proposal for COP30’s decision-makers: Come to my community, says Ibrahim, and see for yourselves the real impacts of climate change on Indigenous peoples and their lands.
