Part II: María Espinosa, President of the UNGA 73 and Izabella Teixeira, Co-Chair of UNEP's International Resource Panel

This week's episode features María Espinosa, President of the 73rd Session of the United Nations General Assembly and former Ecuadorian Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Izabella Teixeira, Co-Chair of the United Nations Environment Programme's International Resource Panel and former Minister for the Environment of Brazil. During our conversation, we discuss the need to rethink sovereignty, address social inequalities, and promote inclusive development with nature. We also discuss the challenges facing Amazonia and the urgent need to halt environmental degradation. Additionally, we talk about the contributions of Indigenous peoples to the fight against the climate emergency, the profound rights deficit they face, and how it is imperative that global governance arrangements include Indigenous voices. The 2022 Civil Society Declaration provides an opportunity for civil society to spark a global conversation and a chance to reflect, assess, and commit to transparent and accountable actions for our common home.
