Pope Francis urges protection of Indigenous rights for a sustainable future
Pope Francis emphasized that defending the rights of Indigenous peoples is crucial for justice and a sustainable future. In a message to the Seventh Global Meeting of the Indigenous Peoples’ Forum, he highlighted the importance of land, water, and food as life essentials, not commodities. The event, hosted by the International Fund for Agricultural Development, focused on Indigenous self-determination and food sovereignty. Pope Francis called for preserving Indigenous culture, valuing their contributions, and ensuring a better world for future generations.
