In this podcast, we seek to explore, understand and give a voice to the defenders of human and environmental rights, Those people holding extractive companies to their responsibilities and fighting for fair global supply chains.
In this final episode, we'll reflect on the stories and experiences shared in the last three episodes. Each of these voices, from Kenya, Peru and Myanmar, detail how global supply chains have damaged indigenous environments, and endangered local peoples and afro-descendants across the world, even to the point of death.
In 2019, a coalition of Indigenous communities and activists teamed up with local and global organizations to call out global investors and hold them to account. The idea was to take this stand deliberately and in global solidarity. This coalition was called the Zero Tolerance Initiative.
This Podcast is a production launched by the Zero Tolerance Initiative (ZTI) https://www.zerotoleranceinitiative.org/, a global coalition led by Indigenous Peoples, local community representatives and supportive NGOs. These groups work collectively addressing the root causes of killings and violence against the human rights defenders resisting global supply chains. The initiative supports communities in defending themselves and holding companies and investors to account.
The podcast was produced on the initiative of the International Work Group on Indigenous Affairs on behalf of ZTI and was funded by NICFI Norway's International Climate and Forest Initiative.
