March 15 marked the EU Council's adoption of the long-awaited Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) that aims to protect the environment and human rights across supply chains. 

Through Cultural Survival's Indigenous Youth Fellowship Program, we support the leadership of Indigenous youth in advocating and striving for new ways of safeguarding their lands, cultures, and languages. Here, we uplift three youth fellowship projects related to the revitalization of languages and cultures.

The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, the European Union’s new, watered-down, proposed law, aims to improve business regulations but fails to adequately consider Indigenous Peoples. Its language is not strong enough and its standards are unclear, lacking specific measures to protect these rights effectively. The EU needs to start viewing the rights of Indigenous Peoples as vital components of environmental and social policies, ensuring they are fully integrated and prioritized.
