The Julian Cho Society and the Toledo Alcaldes Association welcomed Indigenous leaders from the Caribbean and the wider region, along with other partners, to the first Caribbean Indigenous Peoples, Afro-descendant, and Local Communities Regional Knowledge Exchange Conference, where they are discussing how to advance land rights, direct climate financing, and access to carbon market initiatives.
Over the next few days, participants aim to draw lessons from regional experiences with climate finance, identify shared challenges and opportunities, and deepen their understanding of pathways for direct access to climate and conservation finance for Indigenous peoples in the region.
