They were called the indicator of the Adaptation of Bethlehem, in which they emphasize the role of indigenous peoples, local communities, children, youth, and other groups in the building of resilience to impacts of climate change.

Among these indicators, it was marked by the importance of adaptation plans, with correct answers to the questions of the genre, as well as the process of planning and implementation of public policies that are based on the knowledge of indigenous peoples and local communities. The Convention on the Weather, know the percentage that adaptation measures are aimed at the preservation of the cultural heritage, supported by the people went off as a relevant indicator of the initiation of negotiations.

In the table of “Territorial Solutions to the Climate,” was held on the 12th of November in the united states-including the yanomami have treated climate change as disease on the Earth. “When it’s too rainy, or too hot, and I will also heal. I’m a shaman. I am a supporter of the great soul of the forest where I was born. I am connected to mother nature, the culture of the earth, which is very important. Who came up with that, climate change, and have been in the us. They should explain to us how they have created this problem, in this disease, and what if. To me, such as the yanomami, I don’t think it’s cute. Screwing up is not pretty. Whose responsibility is it to take away the disease, and in all the communities? From now on, you will get hungry, and a changing climate means to be waxen poor, disease, lack of clean air. Without the forest, we are going to suffer,” he spoke Kopenawa.

Katia, a Rock, a national co-ordinator of the National coordinator of the Articulation of the Black community in Rural Quilombo (Conaq) has argued that there is no solution to the climate, without thinking of the territories of fugitive slaves either in Brazil. “If we don’t bring in solutions that are feasible and reasonable, and think about the model of the forest, to the foot without the people, there will be no solution to the climate,” he stressed. Katya has highlighted the critical importance of the sustainable management of the waters. “The territories of descendants of runaway slaves are barriers to deforestation, thus preserving the bodies of water, springs and rivers. You also need to think about solutions to climate change, from the agriculture, agro-ecology. This is the adaptation and strengthening of the management, territorial,” he said.

“We are concerned that the global context of climate change, and now we realize that in our area. Today we bring you the ‘ why do we need it to be fall within the public policy and is to be respected by the society as a whole.

“The people need water in order to survive, the air to breathe, and the land in order to feed us. In light of these elements, it outlines a strategy, and you have to interact with nature. Then, in the organization of the women who is in front of this situation, we have made a proposal for the adaptation to climate change,” he said. It all started in a conversation among the women, when they saw the problems with the heat, and their effects on the plantation of the farm. “How are we going to plant it in the garden if the world is on fire and our products? The water is dry, or he or she grows, and our homes are not well adapted to survive in these situations. Our way of life, you’re not ready to go with this,” said Cleide.
