MADRID: Teen activist Greta Thunberg turned a spotlight on the struggles of the world's indigenous peoples against climate change on Monday , appearing at a UN summit alongside other young campaigners furious at the West's failure to tackle the crisis.
"Their rights are being violated across the world and they are also among the ones being hit the most and the quickest by the climate and environmental emergency," Thunberg said of indigenous communities. Rose Whipple, of the Santee Dakota, native to Minnesota in the United States, called for an approach based on tradition and technology."The climate crisis is a spiritual crisis for our entire world. Our solutions must weave science and spirituality and traditional ecological knowledge with technology," she said.
"While countries congratulate each other for their weak commitments the world is literally burning out," said Chilean activist Angela Valenzuela.
