As the latest Conference of Parties or COP25 meeting on taking action on climate change continues into its second week in Madrid, Spain, native communities from around the world have taken the lead on the ground.

Among them are native women who are demanding justice for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls and linking it to the fossil fuel industry.
