The importance of forests and indigenous peoples in the fight against climate change cannot be over-estimated.
In a special event for UN CoP26 Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, EIA in partnership with If Not Us Then Who and Rainforest Foundation UK presents Voices From the Forests, a film showcase and panel that you can join and watch from home.
Tune in for the livestream at 3pm on Wednesday, 3 November on YouTube.
