On 19 October 2026, the opening day of CBD COP17 in Yerevan, the Ărramăt Project held its Indigenous-led Youth Policy Impact Gathering. Association Tinhinan took part as part of its delegation to the conference, held under the theme “Taking Action for Nature.”
The gathering was led by Kantuta Choque, Aminata Diallo and Carrie Karsgaard. Participants sat together in a large circle, and young speakers took the floor in turn to share their perspectives with the room.
The gathering was connected to the youth policy brief “Honoring our relations: Indigenous youth policy perspectives on biodiversity,” which brings together the views of Indigenous youth on biodiversity policy.
