“Our #livelihoods #depend on a #planet that is not on #fire. We are an #Arctic #people and our #culture is written in #snow. But #climate-change means the snow will get less and less. We must realise we can’t #overconsume our planet. This is #urgent. We need to #listen to all the #indigenous people in the #world who know how to #live in #harmony with the planet.”
