Meet Sheena Zuniga, the President of the National Garifuna Council in Belize. Sheena shares insights into the pressing climate challenges facing the Garifuna communities, particularly the impact of coastal erosion, rising sea levels, and changing fish populations. As indigenous people deeply connected to their environment, the Garifuna rely on traditional knowledge for survival. The lack of access to resources limits the ability to adapt to climate change and its impact.
Sheena discusses why climate finance is critical for indigenous communities and endorses for the Access Granted campaign, which seeks to ensure that indigenous voices are heard and included in global climate finance discussions. She emphasizes the importance of direct access to climate funds to strengthen resilience, invest in sustainable solutions, and safeguard the future of Garifuna communities.
"Indigenous communities deserve a seat at the table and direct access to climate finance."
