We published our Issue Paper 1 "Indigenous Participation: Transforming Climate Action."

This document gathers the experiences of the Kichwa Indigenous Peoples in San Martín and the Quechua Indigenous Peoples in Arequipa through an ethnographic approach that combines documentary research, participant observation, participatory mapping, and interviews.
