The Indigenous Peoples stewarding the planet - Episode 65 

Indigenous Peoples live in more than 90 countries and account for 6.2 per cent of the world’s population. Despite this, they suffer from widespread discrimination.

To mark International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, we shine a spotlight on Indigenous Peoples’ essential role in building a sustainable future. Discover how communities in Peru, Colombia and Puerto Rico are protecting nature through traditional practices and leading the charge against climate change.

We also continue our Global Donor Platform for Rural Development series with Ji-Yeun Rim of the OECD, who discusses the crucial issue of rural youth employment.
