Indigenous autonomy is a fundamental right, inextricably linked to protecting our planet and climate.

Oil company Petroperú is accelerating oil exploration in Indigenous territories of the Peruvian Amazon, seeking international financing. This funding would enable further exploitation in a critical ecosystem, jeopardizing local communities and global climate stability.

Join us in pressuring banks considering financing Petroperú. Encourage them to meet with the Indigenous delegation visiting NYC around Earth Day to prevent further Amazon destruction.

WECAN Executive Director Osprey Orielle Lake addressed world governments at the UN ahead of COP26, declaring a refusal to sacrifice future generations for corporate greed and political power. She urged leaders to fight for social, racial, economic justice, and Indigenous and human rights, emphasizing that communities need climate justice now.

Lake demanded an end to "sacrifice people" and "sacrifice zones," challenging governments to confront the fossil fuel industry and deliver the promised $100 billion for a just transition. Highlighting that current commitments fall short of the 1.5°C target, she presented a "Call to Action" from the Global Women’s Assembly for Climate Justice, outlining existing frameworks.
