Indigenous Climate Activism : How Indigenous activist groups are working toward gaining more visibility and recognition at COP 27 (English)
Abstract [en]

Indigenous peoples are among those most affected by climate change, while also being excluded from participating in important global environmental governance forums, such as COP. As a result, Indigenous social movements are forming to work toward gaining more visibility and recognition at these events, so important decisions about them are not made without their presence and input. This study analyzes the communication on COP 27 by three Indigenous activist groups, including The Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil, Indigenous Climate Action from Canada, and the Indigenous Peoples of Africa Co-Ordinating Committee. The method consists of a framing analysis, to analyze the selected articles published on the websites of these activist groups. This study concludes that Indigenous activist groups are building a collective resistance identity by framing themselves in contrast to other participants of COP 27, and to COP as a space. By combining their voices, focusing on collective goals and a collective identity, they are working toward gaining more visibility and recognition, while also taking back the power over their own narrative through using communication technologies that connect them to the global network society.
