This three-day event will feature a mix of panels and breakout sessions focusing on key issues affecting Indigenous Peoples. Topics will include transition minerals, transition agriculture, and regional case studies highlighting both negative impacts and best practices. Additionally, the summit will address terminology that needs to be challenged and redefined based on Indigenous Peoples’ knowledge and solutions, and shared principles and criteria for a truly Just Transition. 

The first two days will be dedicated exclusively to deliberations by and among Indigenous leaders. These two days will encompass closed-door meetings to allow for in-depth discussion on critical themes and the sharing of experiences and solutions.

Day three will involve the development and approval of a common position by Indigenous Peoples. The afternoon session will be dedicated to a dialogue with member states, representatives of multilateral institutions, and other stakeholders. The final declaration will be approved by consensus, which will include agreed upon principles, priorities, and recommendations for next steps.
