Manual para profesionales para consultas con las partes interesadas locales

This practitioner's guide outlines a nine-step process for conducting local stakeholder consultations in climate mitigation projects. It emphasizes the necessity of meaningful public participation to avoid adverse impacts such as population displacement or resource privatization. The guide integrates international standards, including the right to Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) for indigenous peoples, and provides checklists to validate that consultations are inclusive, transparent, and proportional to the project's impact.

• Lack of positive interaction and collaboration between local communities and project developers has historically led to adverse effects from mitigation projects, including "desplazamiento de las poblaciones o la privatización de recursos naturales".
• Effective stakeholder consultation is a critical tool for protecting human rights in climate mitigation projects, as stipulated in the Paris Agreement, and helps minimize negative impacts in the early stages of a project cycle.
• Indigenous peoples and local communities have stricter consultation requirements, including the right to Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) in cases of forced eviction or impacts on lands and resources, which includes the "derecho a decir «No»".
• The guide proposes a nine-step framework for effective consultation: 1) Define the objective, 2) Identify relevant stakeholders, 3) Identify the appropriate time and place, 4) Identify dissemination means, 5) Define information format, 6) Define consultation issues, 7) Define contribution methods, 8) Analyze and disseminate results, and 9) Monitor the need for follow-up consultations.
• To ensure inclusivity, consultations must target a broad spectrum of interests, specifically including marginalized groups such as "mujeres, jóvenes, pobres, trabajadores del sector informal, minorías étnicas, pueblos indígenas, personas con discapacidad o de edad avanzada y miembros de la comunidad LGBTQ".
• Consultation notices must be provided at least 30 days before the meeting to allow stakeholders sufficient time to organize and participate.
• Project developers must establish a robust grievance mechanism and ensure a transparent, independent process exists for stakeholders to seek remedies outside the developer's own mechanism, such as through the national judicial system.
• Follow-up consultations are required if project modifications or unforeseen consequences change the scope, intensity, or type of impacts on stakeholders.
