This session will address the vital role funders play to bring Indigenous Peoples’ contributions into high spheres of influence and in a partnership role. Funders will hear firsthand from Indigenous representatives from Asia, South America, and Russia on adaption and mitigation strategies for policies on climate change and food resilience. They will also benefit from the experience of visionary donors who share high-impact strategies of collaboration with those communities with ancient solutions to the most critical threat to the Earth today. It is a critical time for those with influence in the philanthropic community to stand hand-in-hand with these communities.
