The Securing Indigenous Peoples’ Rights in the Green Economy (SIRGE) Coalition implements transformative solutions to secure the rights of Indigenous Peoples in the global transition to a green economy. With respect to the transition mineral supply chain, SIRGE Coalition focuses on the urgent need to operationalize Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) as enumerated in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. 

To do this, SIRGE Coalition will:

• Center Indigenous Peoples’ leadership, solutions, and voices.

• Champion Indigenous Peoples’ self-determined priorities in the green economy

• Enact policies for the green economy that include FPIC as a safeguard of the rights of Indigenous Peoples.

• Compel companies – including automakers, battery producers, technology, finance, insurance, and mining companies – to implement respect for Indigenous Peoples’ rights throughout their supply chains.

• Ensure that Indigenous communities have the resources and power to pursue their self-identified priorities in the green economy.
