00:00While the Global North, responsible for the vast majority of pollution, emissions, shrugs
00:05its responsibility, the Global South suffers the most devastating impacts with insufficient
00:09resources to adapt.
00:11We detail this photo in the following chart.
00:15Climate debt.
00:16This reality has two sides.
00:17The debt resulting from the excessive appropriation of the atmosphere, and the adaptation debt
00:22that obligates wealthy nations to finance the transition in vulnerable countries.
00:26However, the promised funds are insufficient, and only a tiny fraction reaches the communities
00:32that protect the forest.
00:33For example, indigenous peoples care for 36% of the world's intact forests, yet they receive
00:39only 1% of global climate finance.
00:42In the face of this extractivist and exclusionary model, real alternatives are emerging from
00:48the territories themselves, such as native seeds, agroecology, and community-based ecotourism,
00:55which combine conservation and social justice and stand in opposition to false solutions
01:00like monocultures, mining, and carbon credits that fail to consult with communities.
01:06In this context, organizations such as COICA in the Amazon are joining forces to demand recognition
01:13of their territorial rights in international forums such as COP30, arguing that there is no
01:19solution to the climate crisis without the protection of their territories and respect for their self-determination.
