What do we mean by majority territory, global north and Indigenous nations?
We use the term majority territory to refer to those communities, locations, countries and regions that are disproportionately impacted by environmental and climate harms that result from extractive industries, colonial practices, and oppressive policies that originate from and profit a few located in the Global North. The Global North refers to those nations and actors that benefit from these harms and oppressive policies, as there is no state-based wealth accumulation in the Global North that comes without these extractive industries described above. Global North doesn’t refer to a strictly geographic north.
We use the term ‘Indigenous nations’ and ‘Indigenous Peoples’ to acknowledge the political rights asserted in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the rights they hold via internationally recognised agreements with nation-states.
What do we mean by climate justice and digital rights??
We use the terms climate justice and digital rights in a broad and holistic sense. By climate justice, we mean actors and activities that center communities most impacted by the climate crisis, pollution, environmental mismanagement
By digital rights we mean actors and activities that center ‘digital technologies’ in their work to create an equitable and sustainable world. This ranges from, but are not limited to, advocacy and campaigning on data protection and AI policy, influencing debates and institutions that govern the internet to include human rights principles in their operations, research and raising awareness on data harms, those developing public interest technology, and supporting activists and human rights defenders with their digital security challenges.
