It is different because before I just read about how climate changes affect indigenous peoples, but seeing the video I see that it is really very difficult for the indigenous peoples, because it is their home and they live with nature every day, different from we. That's why carbon dioxide affects the Indians more than we do.
Indigenous peoples have achieved recognition of REDD + and that they will have full and effective participation in all phases of REDD +, and it took them 20 years to have this recognition, but until they succeeded. For we must know that the Indians have great importance and influence, and this took a long time to be recognized.
The solutions will be the reduction of carbon dioxide from industries, and a CO2 meter, because when a tree or plant dies, they release carbon dioxide, and the Indians coexist daily with trees and plants, and this ends up harming them.
I agree with this, because the indigenous peoples need help in relation to climate change and for this REDD + is helping them, because if no one helped them they would be greatly harmed by climate change.
We all know that the indigenous people unfortunately suffer from social inequality, and few people take what the Indians are going through seriously, and they are also highly discriminated against by non-Indians, but this has to stop and the Indians have to have their rights and be treated equally.

I agree with you on the fact that this video helped to revealed to us the difficulty experienced by indigenous people as a result of climate change. They are really affected by it.
Indigenous people indeed made a significant impact by fighting to establish REDD+ despite the 20years wait.
Your third paragraph is excellent -- "The solutions will be the reduction of carbon dioxide from industries, and a CO2 meter, because when a tree or plant dies, they release carbon dioxide, and the Indians coexist daily with trees and plants, and this ends up harming them."
Your 4th paragraph is great too. Do you think the video speaks for all indigenous people in the world? Are there other indigenous people the video is missing? And is REDD+ the only climate change related initiative indigenous people have undertaken?
Concerning your last paragraph, I side with you that indigenous people suffer discrimination, inequality, etc. but can we implement all they are requesting without harming non-indigenous people? What advantages and disadvantages can you think of about REDD+?
