Anchorage Declaration

The United Nations has been put on notice by the Indigenous Peoples' Global Summit on Climate Change that business as usual is no longer acceptable under the new international human rights regime. In the April 24 Anchorage Declaration, world indigenous leaders like Bolivian President Evo Morales announced new demands to be taken up by the UN this December in Copenhagen. Public Good was happy to play a role in advising indigenous participants on some of the anticipated social conflict surrounding related upcoming indigenous sovereignty initiatives.
