The role of young people as agents of change is the focus of Wednesday’s celebration of the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples organized by the United Nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The date seeks to recognize the leading role of the new generations in the most pressing crises facing the world, particularly within these culturally unique societies and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To this end, several representatives are expected to share their knowledge and experiences on climate action, mobilization for justice and intergenerational connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the theme Indigenous youth as agents of change for self-determination, the day vindicates the role of this group in decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, it recognizes their efforts in the search for justice for their people and the creation of an intergenerational connection that keeps their culture, traditions and contributions alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to UN estimates, there are 476 million indigenous people in the world living in 90 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They constitute less than five percent of the world’s population, but represent 15 percent of the world’s poorest people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indigenous peoples dominate an overwhelming majority of the world’s approximately seven thousand languages and represent five thousand different cultures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
