Strengthening the health of our planet while strengthening the rights of our people.
OUR APPROACH
Weaving Indigenous communities from every corner of the world to share strength and knowledge.
Woven transforms solutions to the climate crisis through the advancement of Indigenous rights, wisdom, and sovereignty. Our framework is focused on four key areas: research, global convening, ancestral knowledge, and network building. Please use this page to learn about our latest research projects, upcoming events, regional stories, and ways to get involved.
RESEARCH
Mapping Indigenous Peoples in the Global Movement.
Mapping Indigenous Peoples’ in the Global Movement is a thematic analysis of interviews exploring the achievements, challenges, and proposed opportunities across Indigenous caucuses, capacity building, and climate financial mechanisms across the globe. The analysis interviewed dozens of people across all seven socio-cultural regions of the world.
gatherings
Unifying Indigenous peoples on a global scale.

Through this space we will strengthen collective Indigenous-led climate justice strategies, promote the integration of traditional ecological knowledge into global climate solutions (and policies), and foster a powerful, unified voice and strategy ahead of key international negotiations and activities in our home territories.
