#Inuit group calls for bigger role in #ClimateAction

The Inuit Circumpolar Council is seeking to bring the effects of #Arctic #CimateChange on their communities to the attention of participants of the #COP28 conference in Dubai

"The #InuitCircumpolarCouncil includes representatives in #Alaska, #Canada, #Greenland and #Russia. It is one of the six international #Indigenous organizations that have decision-making power at the eight-nation #ArcticCouncil. The Inuit Circumpolar Council has a COP 28 delegation, to include Alaska members.

"One key issue highlighted in the position paper is the Loss and Damage Fund that was created at last year’s COP 27 held in Egypt. As it is structured now, the fund is focused on helping poorer nations in the #GlobalSouth address the impacts of climate change.

"That leaves a big gap, said Inuit Circumpolar Chair #SaraOlsvig of Greenland.

"'This means that as it is structured now, Inuit and other Arctic #IndigenousPeoples will not have access to the fund, although we are among those most impacted by climate change,' Olsvig said by email. Given the rapid rate of Arctic warming and associated effects, 'the inclusion of Inuit in any policy and decision-making is of great importance,' she said."

"Early morning sun, late in a summer of intense heat. Here, twenty miles north of the Arctic Circle, the light is dilute, low on the horizon and stained orange by forest-fire smoke blown from the Siberian interior."
