The Answer Is Us
The “The Answer is Us” campaign echoes the call of the peoples of the forest, the waters, the countryside, and the cities for global mobilization for climate and life. In the year of COP30 in the Amazon, voices from different territories unite to affirm: this world is ours, and we have the answer to the crisis! It is time to take back control of the future: hear the call and be part of the answer.
WE—the peoples of the forests, waters, countryside, and cities, from the Amazon to the Pacific, in every corner of the planet—know that the time to act is NOW.
There will be no preservation of life on a planet in flames. The climate crisis is also a crisis of leadership and values. Science confirms what ancestral knowledge has always known: climate justice will only be possible if there is also territorial, social, and popular justice. Join this call. You are also part of the answer.
THE ANSWER IS US! ALL OF US.
Our Answers to the Climate Crisis:
We are united in the fight for life and against the climate crisis. Our demands are born in our territories and come together globally around the following responses:
LAND RIGHTS = CLIMATE ACTION
Territory is life, climate, and future. Without agrarian reform, demarcation, titling, land regularization, immediate removal of intruders, and comprehensive protection, there will be no forests or ecosystems essential to prevent the climate collapse. Protecting territories means protecting all life on the planet.
ZERO DEFORESTATION
Deforestation is one of the world’s largest sources of carbon emissions. It destroys ecosystems that regulate the global climate and threatens the people who live off and for the land. Halting this destruction is an urgent priority for everyone fighting for climate justice—wherever they may be.
NO TO MINING IN OUR TERRITORIES!
Fossil fuels—oil, gas, and coal—are the main cause of the global climate crisis. This billion-dollar industry must be dismantled. We reject mining and energy transition projects that exploit territories and violate lives. We demand a just, sovereign transition that puts life above profit.
PROTECT OUR WAYS OF LIFE!
No more violence, silencing, and impunity. Those who protect the land, water, forests, and climate need full protection—now. No climate policy will be fair as long as there is violence against those who protect the territories. Justice and accountability now!
Os Resources to tackle the climate crisis must go directly to those on the front lines: people living in forests, waters, rural areas, and cities. No more colonial bureaucracy or intermediaries who are unfamiliar with the territories. Climate funding must go directly to the territorial funds of the peoples.
COP30 will be held in the Amazon. We demand a dignified, permanent presence with real power in decision-making. We will not accept playing the part of extras in a stage that decides the fate of the climate—and our lives—far away from us. Climate justice is built with real participation, not behind closed doors.

About us
The campaign was created with the aim of being comprehensive and inclusive among Indigenous Peoples, local communities, social movements, activists, and partner organizations from all regions of the planet, with the goal of unifying and raising awareness of our common agenda against the climate crisis.
In September 2024, APIB (the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil) launched the campaign nationwide during the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro. In October 2024, the campaign expanded regionally with the addition of eight indigenous organizations from other countries in the Amazon Basin, forming the Amazon G9. In February 2025, the Global Alliance of Territorial Communities joined the campaign, making it global and expanding its reach to local communities in other countries.
