During a WECAN press conference at COP27, speakers shared vital reports and strategies to end the fossil fuel era, support impacted communities, and address Indigenous rights. Featured speakers included Eriel Tchekwie Deranger (Indigenous Climate Action), Tzeporah Berman (Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty), Leila Salazar-López (Amazon Watch), and Osprey Orielle Lake (Women's Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN)).

California is the world’s largest consumer of oil from the Amazon rainforest. This extraction contributes to climate change, causes deforestation, pollutes the oceans, displaces Indigenous peoples stewarding the Amazon Forest’s last remaining biodiversity, and harms people at every end of the supply chain, including the marginalized communities living in the shadow of toxic refineries right here.

We are honored to be able to offer our main stage to two leading Indigenous Amazonian forest-protectors, sisters Nina and Helena Gualinga, who work closely with our friends at Amazon Watch as they appeal to Californians (and all of us) to #EndAmazonCrude and demand corporate responsibility for people and planet.

Suzanne Simard, Professor of Forest Ecology at the University of British Columbia and author of the bestselling "Finding the Mother Tree," is a world-renowned pioneer in plant communication and intelligence. Her groundbreaking research reveals the complex ways trees interact and communicate through below-ground fungal networks, which are crucial for forests’ resiliency, adaptability, and recovery.

Simard’s work has far-reaching implications for managing and healing forests from human impacts, including climate change. She discusses the dire global consequences of logging old-growth rainforests and advocates for nature-based solutions that combine Western science and Indigenous knowledge to preserve and care for these invaluable ecosystems for future generations.
