Ruth Nyambura at COP27
“COP is this big ceremony (…) where largely false solutions have emerged [and] are being pushed by corporations [and] elites. (…) We’re here to challenge [false solutions] and say that we understand what climate justice is.”
Ruth Nyambura
“[We are] speaking about the historical debt that the Global North owes to the Global South, the debt that is owed to Indigenous peoples, (…) to all to formerly colonized people, (…) the debt that we continue to claim, the reparations that we need. We want structural change.”
PWIAS and UBC Climate Hub partnered to document critically-engaged voices at COP27, especially Indigenous voices. These videos were recorded by Indigenous youth communicator Isaka Huni Kui, from the Huni Kui delegation at COP27, led by Chief Ninawa Huni Kui, Wall International Indigenous Scholar at UBC.
