Indigenous activists on tackling the climate crisis: 'we have done more than any government'

Despite only making up around 6% of the global population, Indigenous people protect 80% of biodiversity left in the world. We spoke to six young Indigenous climate activists from the Ecuadorian Amazon, Chad, Alaska, Sweden, Indonesia and Australia about their people and culture - what we can learn from them about protecting our planet. Nina Gualinga, Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim, Charitie Ropati, Sara-Elvira Kuhmunen, Emmanuela Shinta and Amelia Telford also told us about what they want to see from world leaders at the Cop26 summit and what makes them hopeful about the future. This video was amended on 30 November 2022 to fix an inaccuracy on Borneo map.
