Indigenous peoples and local communities received less than 1% of global mitigation and adaptation funding between 2011 and 2020, according to a Rainforest Foundation Norway estimate.
The framing has sharpened: the story now emphasizes enforceable consent and decision-making authority, not just direct funding access, as the core failure in climate projects affecting Indigenous communities. It also adds the 2025 Green Climate Fund evaluation and broadens the geography slightly to the Arctic region while keeping the same underlying conflict.
The story now places stronger emphasis on specific 2026 examples showing how renewable-energy and geoengineering-related projects can still harm Indigenous rights, not just conservation and carbon-market conflicts. It also adds a concrete court-backed land-rights context in Kenya and a new U.S. sacred-site case involving the Yakama Nation.
