“Look to the future not with fear, but with resolve.” - Youth keynote speech at the 2023 Arctic Peoples’ Conference. Today is The International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples and this year’s theme is “Indigenous Youth as Agents of Change for Self-determination.” 🧵👉🏽

Join us in celebrating the International Day of Indigenous Peoples. This celebration is observed on 9 August each year to raise awareness and protect the rights of the world's Indigenous population. 🎉

In Honor of the United Nations Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, ICC recognizes and celebrates the valuable contributions of Inuit and Indigenous youth. Last month youth from across the Arctic participated in the Arctic Peoples' Conference in Ilulissat, Greenland.

The Arctic is warming 3x as fast as the rest of the world. Between thawing permafrost, disappearing sea ice, shifting food stocks & more, Arctic Peoples are seeing their lives altered by climate change – & they're finding ways to adapt. Read their stories: arctic-council.org/explore/topics…
