Indigenous Pacific peoples possess centuries of deep ocean knowledge. Today, commercial farming, overfishing, resource extraction, and global warming severely threaten these vital ocean ecosystems, intensifying the climate crisis.

A panel of three leaders, intimately familiar with land-ocean relationships, will explore strategies to restore balance to the Pacific and the planet. Moderated by Alexis Bunten, the discussion features Loa Niumeitolu, Kiana Frank, and Andrea Kealoha. This talk was delivered at the 2023 Bioneers Conference.

Indigenous Peoples, comprising 5% of the global population, safeguard 80% of the world's biodiversity. This fact underscores their critical role as experts in resource management and climate action, yet their knowledge is often undervalued in institutional spaces.

To move beyond mere acknowledgment, we must center and strengthen Indigenous rights in climate initiatives. Indigenous Rights activist Jade Begay will share insights on the progress of Indigenous leadership and how to empower it—a necessity for planetary survival.

Indigenous Peoples already lead in "green jobs," integrating cultural values and protecting 80% of global biodiversity. Transforming economies through Indigenous-led solutions requires uplifting these movements and stories, necessitating a shift in philanthropy and "impact investing" from privileged circles.

In this panel, Sikowis (Plains Cree/Saulteaux), Nick Estes (Lower Brule Sioux Tribe), and Alexis Bunten (Unangan/Yupik) explore colonial-capitalism. They discuss how Indigenous-led strategies offer a pathway toward an equitable and regenerative future.

California is the world's largest consumer of Amazon rainforest oil. This extraction fuels climate change, deforestation, ocean pollution, and displaces Indigenous peoples who protect the Amazon's vital biodiversity. It also harms communities along the supply chain, including those near toxic refineries in California.

We are honored to host Indigenous Amazonian forest-protectors, sisters Nina and Helena Gualinga. Working with Amazon Watch, they urge Californians—and all of us—to #EndAmazonCrude and demand corporate responsibility for people and the planet.

Women worldwide, particularly in the "developing world," disproportionately bear the brunt of climate change and environmental degradation, yet their voices are frequently overlooked. Climate, physical, and psycho-spiritual health are deeply interconnected, not separate issues.

A panel of leading women activists, including Zainab Salbi, Nina Simons, Justin Winters, Kahea Pacheco, and Helena Gualinga, explored climate's impact on women. They advocated for women's full inclusion in all climate solutions, linking these struggles to personal healing and authentic global change.
