Indigenous groups get the spotlight at UN climate talks, but some say visibility isn't power

Indigenous people are used to adapting, so when the power failed at their kickoff event at this year's United Nations climate talks, they rolled with it. Indigenous peoples safeguard much of the world’s biodiversity and are among those who contribute the least to climate change, yet they're disproportionately harmed by the devastation it causes. “We’re working within a mechanism and we’re working within an institution that we know wasn’t built for us,” said Thalia Yarina Cachimuel, a Kichwa-Otavalo member of A Wisdom Keepers Delegation, a global group of Indigenous people from around the world.
