What is MINGA INDIGENA COP 25?

Minga is the indigenous peoples’ alternative to COP 25. Indigenous leaders will share the situation in their communities and territories in the face of climate change. The Summit will allow for learning, discussion and reflection and will conclude with the elaboration of a series of proposals which will be delivered to the Conferences of the Parties (COP) the supreme decision making body of the UNFCC , the international response to climate change.

Good practices will be shared by indigenous leaders so that those attending the Minga Summit can try and implement them in their respective territories.
