2024 was a year of significant progress for IPRI in our fight to promote and defend the rights of Indigenous Peoples. Together, we responded to urgent global challenges—confronting the criminalization and violations of Indigenous rights that continue to go unreported and unpunished. Through unwavering advocacy, strong partnerships at the national level, and direct support for Indigenous defenders at risk, IPRI has reinforced its role as a vital voice in the movement for justice and dignity. Our work would not be possible without the strength and resilience of Indigenous communities and organizations worldwide. By standing alongside them—whether in local struggles or key global platforms—we have shone a light on the injustices faced by Indigenous Peoples in biodiversity conservation, renewable energy projects, and extractive industries, particularly the mining of transition minerals. As we look ahead to 2025, we are committed to deepening our impact. We will focus on strengthening our Secretariat, expanding partnerships with Indigenous organizations, and increasing our support for Indigenous men, women, and communities facing criminalization. We will also push harder for stronger accountability mechanisms to ensure Indigenous rights are protected, and impunity is challenged.
