In 2014, communities turned to the courts. More than ten years later, the case remains unheard due to repeated delays. 👵🏾 Women and elderly people traveled hundreds of kilometers for hearings that were canceled without notice.

2⃣ historic court rulings confirmed it: States hv legal duties to confront climate crisis, and Indigenous Peoples’ rights are essential. These decisions strengthen #FPIC, territorial defense, and give Indigenous Peoples new tools to demand accountability. shorturl.at/NsBLm
