Cultural Survival Publishes Daria Egereva’s Letter to COP31 Colleagues
On 10 November 2026, Cultural Survival published a letter from Daria Egereva to her colleagues attending COP31 in Antalya. Its introduction also directs readers to our solidarity website.
Egereva, a Selkup Indigenous rights defender and an IIPFCC Co-Chair since 2023, writes about the people and everyday cooperation that make international climate advocacy possible. Her message recalls preparing statements, answering questions and finding consensus together.
Writing from detention, she describes feeling her colleagues’ solidarity despite being unable to join them. She urges them to continue their shared work: “This is your struggle, too—so please, never give up.”
The publication brings her own voice to an international audience while climate negotiations proceed without her. Readers can find the full letter on our website. We have also reported on its publication in the COP31 newsletter ECO and the place reserved for Daria at the Indigenous forum in Antalya.
