- Finance – Finance the [grass]root solutions.
- Collaboration – Collaborate to break patterns of colonialism.
- Peace/Peacebuilding – Every climate advocate is a peacebuilder.
COP27 – Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt
The official theme of COP27 was “Together for Implementation,” and the values of ambition and humility guided the U.S. delegation’s approach to the summit. Along with upholding these themes and values, the ICP team brought four powerful messages of its own to the two weeks of discussions, events, and programming, both in-person and online.
- On mitigation, governments must give power to Indigenous Peoples for climate mitigation and place-based stewardship.
- On adaptation, scaled-up efforts should prioritize islands.
- On finance, programs must invest in conflict prevention and peacebuilding.
- On collaboration, climate solutions should be action-oriented, collaborative, and bottom-up.
