This year, Stewarding the Earth has returned at COP 27 with a focus on advancing the visibility of Indigenous women’s leadership!

IUCN Indigenous Peoples Organisation members selected three emerging Indigenous women leaders, who will receive mentorship support from established Indigenous women leaders and IUCN to navigate global climate policy at COP 27. 

In 2023, these women will share insights and stories through communications and virtual events to demonstrate the importance of Indigenous women and girls in environmental action – and to inspire Indigenous girls and emerging women leaders while building global support for them.
